The level of technology endows human beings with a capacity unthinkable a few years ago when given free rein to their imagination and creativity. Computers have been cast so far in our lives that practically any utensil is housed inside a printed circuit, a processor and a little software that will make efforts to control and management provided us with outstanding results.
While taking a snack after attending Sunday Mass in a terrace on the edge of a reservoir, I noticed a couple has two digital cameras located in two tripods, with a sophisticated timer each. After some fine adjustments, they have implemented and laid out for a beer, while
cameras, they by themselves, doing their job. Talking to them, I have reported what they were doing, which was nothing to take multiple pictures of the same reason, a forest and cloudy sky, from two different angles in order to create known video technician " timelapse. The fact that I knew I was a little surprised it is not a concept still widespread and that video is generating a lot of pictures based on almost identical, with slight variations, so the result is lively. Something like those special effects in films in which he saw dawn in a flash, with the sun rising in the sky at full speed in three or four seconds.
The photos were taken automatically every three seconds and thought to be two hours taking pictures, representing a total of four thousand eight hundred photographs. The result of the work can be seen next year in the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibition to be held in Madrid.
If we go back a few years ago, not many, this operation would be unthinkable and impossible. With films of 36 photographs, which should be changing in a record time of three seconds, without moving an inch the camera, every 108 seconds, not to mention the cost of developing and processing. As I say, it could be done. The "timelapse" was done manually, with fewer and more spaced outlets.
Facilities that technology gives us reach to all corners by little we dedicate ourselves or anyone of our confidence a little time to investigate, ask, do, build and prepare. This is the case of the pastor of the church where I attend Mass on Sundays. Priest already advanced in years, it nonetheless use new technologies to support its Sunday Masses. Building on existing elements in their century-old church has placed its wireless projector and projects during the mass and the corresponding powerpoint religious acts created "ad hoc" for the event, so that all the faithful to follow much better, with the texts of prayers and chants. It also helps in his homily, as the subject to be treated, with photographs that help and baste and discuss their troubles. And it takes several years to do so. Presumably, with so many Masses that is carrying on his many years as a pastor, most of them without help "powerpointorizadas" be able to give the mass without help, but the day that technology fails you will note not happy, like something is missing. And sometimes failed. Florentino friend, plated.

This powerpoint is a constant in many of the conferences or lectures to which I attend. Infrequently anyone gets to speak without moving images that in many cases serve as a guide because it is limited to read its contents, which presumably will be prepared before he or someone you trust. Such is the dependence on a few occasions I have come to see how the talk was suspended failing projector, computer, or any of the elements, the rapporteur flatly refused to give it. Do not you know? Do not you remember the texts?. The trick is to have the slides printed so they can be read in case of failure.
While things work around us, do not take into consideration our dependence on them. What would I do without my electronic book reader or my newly released mobile phone with "android"?
