1)

Hello there,

My name is Demian, but in highs school my mates called me “D-Man”. I lived in Bahia Blanca for all
my life, but I have plans to move to another country when I have the chance. Argentina is a
complicated country to grow financially, the taxed are very excessive for someone who want to do
some saving or buy his own house.

I plan to end this career and start working in a foreign country.

Currently I am working for TELADOC a company that provides telemedicine services. I am an agent
in charge of providing technical support to a fleet of six hundred robots, it is a very exhausting job
but I like it and the salary is not bad.

I do not do sports, but I am currently going to the gym, when I do not stay as a potato in my bed,
and I am trying to lose some weight. I live a very sedentary life due to my work I stay in my chair
almost all day, because after I end my shift I have to course all the subjects of the career.

In respect to hobbies I am a cinephile myself, I really like to watch any kind of movies and series,
currently I am watching a Handmaid’s tale a postapocalyptic series in which a virus leaves almost
all humanity infertile and the United States impose a new government regimen in which the
women do not have rights, and the handmaid’s is a special kind of woman that is forces to have
the children of high rank government employees by force, and they are punished if they try to
escape or even read a book, the hero June starts a revolution and try to escape this regimen, it is a
very interesting concept.

I have a brother, a sister, a mother and a step father that I love with all my body and soul. My
mother works doing reborn dolls and my step father is a high school teacher. My brother is
studying to be an physical education teacher and my sister is studying to be an actor.

Well I do not want to extend myself much than these.

Best Regards.

What is it about? Write a short summary in Spanish.

El articulo trata un poco de como los Smartphones fueron reemplazando a las

computadoras, las cámaras y otros dispositivos. Hace unas cuantas referencias a como el
uso del smartphone se hizo mas común y como la gente no sale de la casa o siempre esta al
alcance de la mano.

Y da varios datos de la cantidad en promedio que usa los celulares hoy en día en el Reino
unido y como en varios años esa cantidad va a aumentar exponencialmente.
