Skype translator, self-driving car
Wow! 2 amazing innovations in one day! Let’s start what Microsoft did with Skype Translator. Google Translate has been around for quite a long time.

education vs innovation
Slides of the presentation I did today at BKF. Educacion vs and innovation. Let’s use technology in education. Let’s use it the right way. Technology itself can’t change the way we teach.

A selfie is a type of self-portrait photograph, typically taken […]
