November 22nd

Yesterday.
It was really strange. At first i dreamed a lot (or better, i remember that i dreamed a lot). I dreamed several situations. With my cousin Fabio, with my brother, with my family, alone in Berlin and so on. A lot of dreaming. Even with disgusting scenarios.

Then i went to work, i worked on several open tasks but one of them is useful for a school, so i can be useful for the new generation and it is important for me.

Then i thought that bmsoft, even if it satisfy my requirements for a challenging work (1) in my area of interest, will be a not so good place for learning. But i am wrong. Just by myself and by the fact that i'm lucky enough to get the internet (that is great) or a great city full of libraries, i can start (as many people that have enough possibilities) a lot of learning project. The obvious one: learn german (thanks to duolingo), learn english (as i'm tring to do with this self exercises, even if i'm not trying so hard), write all your main thoughts (that are not so short to explain) in a language that you still didn't master (german/english). Moreover, one of my main goal is: (re)learn the mathematical knowledge of math/philosophy/physics from the middle school to the first years of university and put it free online in a proper way (not just the way of the school books, that is good but not enough for me). Reading books (english/ita or german) about my area of interest and so on.

So i really can do a lot of things, compared to who is not so rich (i'm not rich compared to the average income of one that lives here, but compared to who is living in other part of the world) or even to who has lived in the past without these wonderful means like internet or shared knowledge. Just to think that a library has a limited number of copies of the same book, when on internet you can replicate the information with ease.

I'm still convinced that for how we use the resources, the humanity can't hold this lifestyle for more than 1000 years (or maybe we will collapse earlier), and the life will be seriously compromised on the earth. But, apart for this "small" problem, today the opportunities of learning in a first world country are really huge.

Plus, in the end i needed my e5 for a simple, but important task: remember me some events. It seems a trivial task but is really useful, it allows you to avoid (more or less) to trigger the memory at the needed time, that is a complex task even out of your control. and the nokia e5 do it perfectly thanks to the calendar entry, i love it.

Oh, i just remember that i must try to recover the broken nexus7 of my brother, somehow. Wasting the computational power of that device is a crime, and it will be a crime of mine.

(1) In the end, the strange thing is that when you are desperate you will accept (more or less) any job. but when you don't care about the life you can be even choosy!
