Judson Brewer A simple way to break a bad habit (Adrià Castellví) 

Judson explain how break an habit whose is causing damage to us or simply is pernicious.

To break a bad habit we only need to keep doing that bad habit but doing something which wake up our curiosity.
Whereas we are watching or doing that thing our brain doesn't think about if smoking is bad for me or I can't leave smoking.

So when your attention is in other part your brain recibe the real feeling of that thing that we are doing wrong so our awareness understand that bad habit is bad because we feel it without think.

Finally if you have a bad habit try to do something which really interest you to keep focus whereas you are doing your bad habit then you will feel it without being aware and with time you will be able to stop it.

Caleb Harper: This computer will grow your food in the future (Adrià Castellví)

Caleb is a scientist who has a laboratory and with her team has create a new idea , an idea to improve and change the food system.Caleb had made a "Food Computer" is really amazing ,he connect young seed to his computer with sensors of all types of things temperature,pH,water,..and more.

The funny of this is when some of this conditions change the sensors register and upload the data to the server.But isn't a current server, is interactive at real time even in distance,so when the plant has a problem or want something which need for life, one person sit on a bar with her mobile phone can give instructions to food computer to resold it.

Is really really hard to imagine what I'm saying without have seen the video but for one moment try to this this.

One group of plants connected to one laboratory whose register and keep healthy the group of plant and can be controlled with an application with your mobile phone with your laptop and sharing the information with other people around the world so you can be a farmer from your own house.

Moreover he has created a small copy of his work in a simple warehouse which can be anywhere.

Caleb says :"you are talking with the plants in her idiom" is a crazy idea obviously isn't talking but this means that you can understand the plant more easier and effective.

Additionally this is only the beginning, he also is making small schools of science students who learn who made this real in many parts from the world and also teach them to build ,share ,and made it posible.

To sum up ,Caleb is creating a relationship between technology plants and humans very symbiotic and improving the future that's my opinion and if that idea comes to my country or city I will support that idea with my help. 

PD: I think it's really necessary see the video to understand what he is doing.Is too visual

5 ways to listen better by Julian Treasure (Ari Estephany)

We are losing our listening. In communication, we spend 60% of our time listening, but we are not good with it. We retain the 25% of  what we hear. "Let's define listening as making meaning from sound. It's a mental process, and it's a process of extraction."
  The first one is silence. Just three minutes a day of silence is a wonderful exercise to reset your ears and to recalibrate so that you can hear the quiet again. If you can't get absolute silence, go for quiet, that's absolutely fine. Second, He call this sound the mixer.  Third, this exercise he called savoring, and this is a beautiful exercise. It's about enjoying mundane sounds. The fourth is important and this is listening positions  (the idea that you can move your listening position to what's appropriate to what you're listening to). And finally, we use an acronym. It can be used this in listening, in communication.

Then he talks about bigger flaying robots and the most important thing about those is that they can have more gadgets.

After that he sample examples of robots, for example, “flyingphone” which is a robot that have a phone that films all that it see.

Finally he try some robots on the stage.

(Iñaki Coll)

This Tedtalk explain that it is more than a billion years, two black holes in a distant galaxy locked on a spiral and crashed. The theoretical physicist Allan Adams says, “all the free energy made the universe exploded in troubled gravity waves.” It also says that tge LIGO was built for this kind of waves that had been predicted but never watched. And in September of 2015, so little anomaly was detected that was one of the most exciting discoveries in the history of physics. It is an incredible discovery because he demostrate that the general relativity Einstein's theory is correct.

Simple hacks for life with Parkinson's, by Mileha Soneji (Jofre Torner)

Mileha Soneji is an Indian girl who's oncle got diagonsticated with Parkinson, he's oncle was a very active person and was allways the focus of all the looks, but since he started to find the tremble in he's body he started to become shy, he even stoped drinking coffee in public because of embarassing.

Mileha Soneji tried to help him on what she could, so she designed a cup of coffee special for parkinson patients, but the key was that it did not look like a special coffee cup for people with problems, it looked so normal, but the top of the cup was  little bit closed to prevent the coffee to spill out of the cup.

She decided to go beyond and she looked at the quotidian life of the oncle to get ideas on some inventions that could make he's life easier. What she found is that he could go up and down stairs without the walker thanks to the constant move that climbing stairs requires. So she designed a printed optical ilusion in the floor to make it easier to walk to he's oncle, and it worked.

The conclusion is that we don't allways need advanced technology to find solutions to huge problems like the capacity of that man to walk, sometimes we just need a bit of human thinking and most of the problems can get solved easily.

THE DANGER OF THE SILENCE, by Clint Smith (Vicky Zabaco)

In this Ted Talk, Clint Smith talks about the silence.


In some situations all people talk about things that they don't know, but silences are the best way to say something really important. Clint is a teacher and in his classroom he has four simply bases. The first one, they have to read critically, the second, write consciously, the third speak clearly and the last one, tell your truth.

Always the people say things that they want to hear, not the truth and this is the real problem of the people, so it's better the silence.

Finally, he says that this building is very artistic and cultural, and that he is very proud of it.

How to find life in other planets (Marc Leirado)

We could find some people living in other planets ,because the characteristics to live and survive are in those planets , for example venus ,but we don't know much about Venus' atmosphere. We don't know much because it is very far away from the sun, and it is very  small planet , it also has a high temperature.

Another planet that may have life could be gliese , because it may have water, although it is very far away from planet earth.

Another planet that is 4% bigger tan the earth is Kepler , this planet may have life and we want to find out if there is.

Finally, the tedtalk explains that ice absorbs the longest ware of the coldest stars, and that light heats up the ice. This way of finding out life in other planets may be hurtful for the climate.

They also say that this makes students get interested in astronomy and to wont to know more about life in other planets, and see if their are not alone.

by Graham Hill (Martí Arriol)

This ted talk is about that fewer things can give us more happiness than having a lot of things.

The author of this ted talk is Graham Hill and he tells us the example of a big building that is 20.000 hectares and it´s used for keep our things. If we had less things we could spend less money and we will save the environment, this is what he say and seriously I agree with him because we have a lot of things that we don’t use and we need to eliminate all this that we don’t need because are not useful for us.

The best way for having fewer things is having less space because if we have less space we must fill in fewer things. Graham hill recommend us that we can start to move from 200 m to 150 m and only with this way we will be able to be happy without the need to have a lot of objects and we would be saving our planet.

Ivan Coyote: Why we need gender-neutral bathrooms

Ivan Coyote: Why we need gender-neutral bathrooms

In this TedTalk, Ivan Coyote, who is a transexual person, explain us all about he's ordinary problems of being a transexual person i a transphobic society.

Starting from a small problem which is where to pee in public bathrooms, because they might not be identified as man or woman, Ivan arrives to a worse problem, which is the fact that the society don't accept people like him, starting from a young age in the school, he explains a true history from a girl who feels like a boy, and she is not allowed to pee in the place where he is identified and where this little girl should be peeing for her feels.

The problem is worse, they have problems in Gyms, Swimming pools... In every place where they classificate people in genders they have huge problems.

Ivan ask people to think about it, they need a solution to this people and for the future and the iguality in the society of transexual people, he think that we can't change a transphobic society from one day to another, but we must start with small things like making public bathrooms gender-neutral to prevent any kind of discrimination.

I really recomend this TedTalk which made me think a lot and i think everyone should get concience about the discrimination this people are living with, to watch this TedTalk follow this link:
