The reality of renewables in 2019

The year 2019 will not be energetically different from what 2018 was: progressive increases in the price of gasoline and its derivatives, as well as the electricity bill. This is almost an economic constant, but, beyond the obvious, we must take into consideration that the solutions only involve a sum of social and productive factors. There are no absolute truths if we take the following news as a starting point: we do NOT have enough materials for all the solar panels we need... (Xataka December 14, 2018).

Payments 2.0 and paper accounting

Banks, what banks? We woke up on the 27th with unusual news: Google's request for a license as a banking entity in Europe, particularly in Lithuania. Let's be honest, if you are under 40 years old, you are surely allergic to going to your “old bank.” Of course there will be these types of entities in the future, but they may be your trusted search engine, your electricity company or any other established brand with a large user or credit card base.

The disruptions that will change our lives

It's the batteries, idiot... Raise your hand if you haven't come across an electric transportation system in the last 24 hours.

GENESIS OF RA-TRAINING AND NEUROFORMATION

At the end of the 90s, e-learning was already a reality in certain educational sectors. What began as primitive mailing lists progressed to the creation of standards such as Moodle, generating a revolution that changed the educational opportunities of millions of people around the world. Later, with the arrival of the Post-PC era, we went crazy eliminating the flash modules and making all the courses responsive so that students could see and train from the palm of their hand.

Ours are yellow...Reorganize your company: What is the color of your organization?

Let's give some foreign examples so as not to disturb those present or traditional Twitter sensibilities: Space X manages to launch the rocket with the greatest capacity since Apollo with an R&D investment of 800 million dollars.

Apple, one of the companies with the highest stock market value and which has practically unlimited resources, has delayed six of the 10 products it was planning to offer in 2017 and its different software solutions accumulate bugs, …

The productivity course that excited Steven Spielberg: Film Productivity

I didn't see my colleagues die with their faces in the mud... Walter Sobchak – The Big Lebowski Why we need a Cinema Productivity: There are plenty of low-level charlatans and sellers of masterful solutions in the business productivity sector.

I am going to take you by the hand to start a different journey in space and time today. This trip will be, above all, a mental translation. It doesn't matter who you were, you're now in your twenties and living in the late fifties. A while ago you left your native Pittsburgh to pursue a career as an illustrator in exciting New York. You have made few friends because that subject is not your strong suit, due to your introverted nature and your delicate health which, since school, has not exactly made you popular.

Disruptions and false myths of productivity (I)

Interrupciones y falsos mitos de la productividad (I) Una de las razones que merman la productividad de cualquier persona en un contexto de trabajo son las interrupciones, que pueden ser de dos tipos: Internas Externas En ambos casos nos enfrentamos a un lucha contra los factores o elementos que nos distraen dentro de “nuestra” cabeza, pero también con las variables externas que no controlamos.
