technology

Hi!

Sometimes I found myself writing and writing with my thumbs on the cellphone or scrolling the screen without any sense and I ask to myself: “why are you doing this?” And then I convince to myself that I need to do something useful.

I think that’s a big problem of the technology, because sometimes it ends with our concentration, but I also think that is a useful implement for somethings like the study, for example, if I have to tune my cello, I usually take my phone to use the app of the tuner and hear the note that I need to be in the right tune.

In other cases, I use the technology for read music sheet when I don’t want to print the parts or when I try to generate less paper to the planet. I think is a really good way to save money.

Other think that the technology allows me is to listen all the music that I want. That is really important and a big benefit for all the musicians (and for all the people I think), because we have the opportunity of compare different versions of the music and choose the thinks that we want to use on our study of the music.

And one of the things that I really appreciate of all the things that technology brings me, is the opportunity to apply to different institutions and festivals outside the country and can learn about other ways to play the cello.

But I also think that technology is something dangerous, because as I said it before, it ends with our concentration, not only at the study or work, also on the personal relationships, because we are making the bad habit of do everything through the cellphones and we need the personal contact to show our feelings and to do real friends.
