In this days there are a lot of cities that are failing in many areas, such as the transport system, the unstoppable growth of the city, the health system, etc. In our city, Santiago, Chile, we can see all of these problems, and the hardest thing is that they are very difficult to resolve.
The Victory City is supposedly a city of the future, but if you think about it, is conceived like an old city, not that big and whit big walls, almost for protection, from what? We don’t know. Besides that, the biggest problem is that the city is thought as a machine, a big factory, it even was an owner, and not as an organic element that evolves during time. It would be ideal too have a city that is contain in a space, but is rely difficult to do so, in stead it must be planed from the start as an element that can an will change, and to be prepared for this changes is the biggest challenge.

The Telly
My favourite piece of technology is the television.
When I was younger, we lived in a small hose, so the television was in the living room. Me and my brothers all set down together to watch our favourites shows, witch were almost all cartoons, it was a chance to laugh a imagine we where in a different place in a different time, but we could watch TV all day, my mom only allowed us to watch TV one hour a day, so we all waited anxiously for that time in the day.
Then, when I was sixteen my parents gave me a television to have in my bedroom, and I loved it, but I still didn’t watch al day long, just some times, mostly at the night.
Now days, I also love to watch TV when I can, is not like I am going die if I don’t watch it, but it allows me to relax and disconnect from the daily life and occupations, and it is also a way to now what is happening with the world and to find out the latest news. I still watch it mostly at night.
I think that the television is a very powerful toll to influent people, in a good way and in a bad way, but if you learn to moderate your self sense you are young, you could learn to use it in a good way, just to relax and to now more a about the world.
