Summary | Elon Musk said that in eight or ten years our brains will be perfectly connected to artificial intelligence. Facebook also announced that they want us to be able to write directly from our brain, with a "thought reader" helmet that would be ready in two years. We live in a world where people are not able to concentrate because of the noise our smartphones make when we receive notifications. Sherry Turkle claims that smartphones are not simple accessories; they are powerful devices that change not only what you do, but also who you are. Some people are worried about what the internet and artificial intelligence will bring in the future.

Summary | Spelling and grammar are having a hard time in today's society; there seems to be too much lenience with regards to writing rules, which may be due to an incorrect use of new technologies. People should know when it is appropriate to use a specific register. It is okay to write a text message with abbreviations as long as users are able to change register and adapt their writing in an exam for example. A professor in Valladolid claims that handwriting as opposed to digital writing can be the solution to spelling and grammar mistakes. Social media and the way we write on those networks have a major impact on our writing skills. A study showed that the mistakes young people make in their writing assignments come from our habit to constantly write quickly and be spontaneous on social media. Those mistakes are mostly due to a lack of attention. The study also showed a positive aspect: with social media, we write more.
