Flow is an animated film, created on a free app called Blender, that doesn't have dialogues. The characters only make sounds, as if they were in the real world.

For example, nowadays, children ask AI for all the answers; they´ve stopped using their imagination and look for fast and easy solutions. This is terrible because technology can be used productively. They could ask AI for activities, solve them in their notebooks, and final...

Nowadays, there are plenty of sports people who earn huge amounts of money. Do you think they deserve it? Aren't there jobs more important that are paid miserable wages? In our society, there are crucial jobs like those related to medicine or education, and although they are very important, they don't earn as much as sports people and aren't acclaimed either. Consequently, most children wish to be like Messi, Ronaldo, or Nadal, and just a few want to be a nurse, doctor, or a teacher. Moreover, sports people earn a lot because of the publicity they generate and the influence they have on people, especially on fanatics. This influence translates into lucrative sponsorship and advertising contracts, further increasing their earnings. However, this reality raises a fundamental question: are we correctly valuing the professions that truly sustain our society? It's true that sports offer entertainment and excitement, and elite athletes dedicate years of hard work to reach the...
