Introduction
Nowadays technologies are very useful, even sometimes you think that without technologies you couldn’t live. They are useful in different aspects like sports, medicine, music, art, engineering, etc. The problem with technological instruments is that people become lazier for example the remote control, but I have to say that I couldn’t watch TV with it. With technologies you can get parameters more accurate and with this you will give a good diagnosis. In Physical Therapy the main technologies is internet, but this one is totally useful in all aspects, so other more specific to physical therapy is goniometer and the last one could be microscope.
Internet
This tool like I said before is useful in all aspects, because when you have a doubt you can surf in the internet and the find the answer, instead of to look for in a book, because this could be longer and make your work inefficient. I’m going to tell you my own experience with the famous internet. When I have had to do a work, report or analysis, I looked for information in the internet. In general this is a good way to do it, but sometimes you have to be careful, because not everything that goes online is true.
Goniometer
For physical therapists, this technological instrument is very useful, because this can give us information about the joint of the patient. The goniometer can help us to know range of motion of some joint and with this information we can decide which treatment we can do or how we can do it. We can infer if there is any pathology with the result if they are out of the normal parameters.
Microscope
To science this instrument is indispensable, because most if the advances have been done with one. Of course more technological than we used in the university, because we are beginning in this area, so we have to learn how to use it first o simply to know the basics.
Conclusions
In conclusion I think that without technology, we couldn’t do things with great precision, and take us to a mistake in our treatment to the patient. We can’t forget that the technologies are a “tool”, something that helps us to do best our job, but we musn’t thin that technologies “do” our job. We can not allow that the develop of our mind stops because of the technologies. So we have to receive the help of the instruments and the most important use our mind.

The challenges that my discipline is currently facing are in different areas like technology, social matters and education. In technology, physical therapy has a lot of kind of machines that are used to rehab people with different kind of disability. Also there is another kind of implements like balls, sticks, ropes, weights, etc. The big problem here is that the technological machines are too expensive, so most of the public hospital doesn’t have it, but you compare with a clinic, they have many machines that are very modern. If the physical therapist is working in place where there are not a lot of technologies, he can invent or imagine how he can do an exercise to patient with basic implements. When this occurs, you would know who is a good physical therapist.
Respect to social matters, I think that physical therapy is in a high level, but not so much like medicine. People when think in physical therapy, they always say: Oh! You are going to do a very good massage!!. But if you think in a physical therapist doesn’t do just that. This could be resolve with more publicity of physical therapy, but I really don’t know why people think that, because here in Chile we have an institution very important called “Teletón”. Teletón is popular and with this people can see the function of a physical therapist.
A Physical therapist creates a big connection with his patients, because he stayed during all the rehabilitation of the patient. At the end of the therapy, patients are always very grateful, because the physical therapist changes their lives.
In the third area that I mention at the beginning is education. Respect of this I think that the best place to learn physical therapy is in the University of Chile, because this university was the first one in all the country, so they have a lot of experience. If you decide to study in there, you can be sure that you going to be a excellent physical therapy. After university, you can make different types of training courses. In my opinion I think that these kinds of courses are good, but I would prefer to go another country to do some kind of these training courses, maybe would be better.

Hi everyone today!
I’m going to talk about my faculty. Here in the faculty the infrastucture is very poor. Most of the building are too old and this could be very dangerous in case of a earthquake, because old buildings don’t have the technology than the new ones. In other way the falculty don’t have good computers. The faculty need more green areas. The current computers are so slow and you always have problems to use one, for differents reasons like the password doesn’t work or the Internet is too slow… etc. But there are not only problems for example I can say that the library is very comfortable in winter. You sometimes think that is a little small, because is crowded in period of exams. Other problem here is the parking is too small, so you have to arrive very early in the morning to catch one. All this thing that I mention have to be improved, but the big and the unique problem is the money. There are other kind of problems like the teachers sometimes speak too low, or the teacher doesn’t arrive on time to classes, or something worse like they don’t warn when there are not classes and all the students come and they have to go back home. To this problem we don’t need money. The solution could be to talk with teachers or the faculty contract other. To the first problem, the faculty more money to resolve it, but now the problem is how to get the money?. The real benefits could be the students will be a little bit more motived, but this is not all real. The thing that I’m sure is would be better is with more green areas , places where the sutdent can rest.

Hi everyone!. Today I’m going to talk about holidays destinations. The kinds of places that I would like to go in holidays is somewhere with a lot of history and culture, because I think the most important about trips is to know and to be someone more intellectual. I don’t like at all places like "El Caribe", because I wouldn’t spend money to something that don’t satisfied me. Maybe that kind of places could be very relax, but I prefer spend my time in other kinds of places. So I’d rather places like Asia ,Europe and Africa. Those are continents with a lot of culture and you lived experiences that can change your life. And the main place is Chile because you have to know about your own country. I would like to met all Chile and then visit other countries.
Maybe this can be repetitive,but I have to said it. The best place that I had great time was in England with my best friend. That was a experience of life, because We lived alone in a foreign country and we were 19 years old. We met many important places like Buckingham Palace, Stonehenge, Big Ben, etc.
Well to be honest I don’t have any plans to the next holiday summer. I will try to think places in Chile that I would like to go with my family or friends. First I’m going to tallk about places that I would like with my family that could be the far south, because We ‘ve been in the North 2 years ago by car and we ‘ve been in the South 6 years old. So I think We have to meet all our Country. Maybe We will stay in a small cottage in wherever , because we don’t like to plan everything. The second that I want to talk is to travel with friends, Something that I forgot to say before is I wouldn’t like to go a intellectual place with a lot of friends , just one or more people, because kinds of trips are more personal. Well to go and share with friends, I prefer to go to the beach or a place very relax. A place where you can have fun!

Neck Pain:
This kind of pain is very common in the society,so we have to give advices to people about what kind of treatments are useful to reduce it.
There are three treatments very successful:
- Drug treatment: in this kind treatment you have to be very careful, because you choose the medicine that you’re going to take by your own would very dangerous to your health. So you must go to the doctor and ask for some medicine are going to reduce your pain. This treatment is not the best but at the moment is very effective.
- Mobilisation done by a Physical Therapy: this treatment is the best and most of the time is the more effective. So you have to visit a physical therapist, and the first that he is going to do is to feel and touch in differents points your neck, although he is going to touch it in differents positions. Then he is going to do some exercises to reduce the pain.
- Maniputalion done by a chiropractic: this treatment is not very recommended because sometimes people have side effects and this would be dangerous. Chiropratic do sharp , short and fast movements and this would be painfully. The target of this technical is to push a joint slightly further than it would usually move.

- What is your opinion of Transantiago?A) In what way(s) is it better or worse than the pre-Transantiago system?B) Compare and describe your experience with the new system a) when it started and b) now.C) What changes would you apply in order to make it better/more effective in the future?* Mention any other points you think are important.- Leave a comment on 2 of your classmates' posts.- Number of words: 200 - 250
Hi everyone! Today I'm going to talk about Transantiago. In my opinion I think that is a good idea,but here in Chile is very difficult that people learn how to use it. People have to learn a lot of things about how to pay, they have to get used to pay with a little card instead of to pay to the driver with money and this is a big problem, because people are very lazy to learn. I think the base of the proyect is great, because in develop countries is working fantastic. In there, people are weelling to learn and this is the key to making the system works correctly. Transantiago is better than the pre-Transantiago system in the way how to pay is more efficient. Other advantage is that the underground is conected with the buses, so you can do combinations with out pay twice. When I had taken a bus I really noticed that the bus driver stops in the bus stop and before I always when I was waiting the bus they never stop, I think is because of my school clothes. Now most of the times they stop when a student wants to take the bus. When the Transantiago started was very difficult to take a bus, because for example I didn't know where were the buses stop. And the most important is that the system was very disorganized and now the situation have improved, but sometimes you can see people waiting a lot of time for a bus.
I think that to the system works better is put more buses on the street to do the system more effective.

Hi everyone!. Today I'm going to talk about which country I would like to go. The first one that comes to my mind is England, specifically London. I've been there and I fell in love with London and now my dream is to go back there. So that is the place that I would like to go like first option. London is an amazing city, like another world. I would like to go there because a lot of reasons to say some of them I can say that people are very polite . If you are walking on the street,you can notice, for example in the underground the people that go slowly walk on the right side and the other people that go fast walk on the left side. This reason is very important for me because I feel proud of that little things that make your country different.
I know about London that the architecture is wonderfull, because is very old ,there a lot of castles when you are seeing one, you can't believe that so many years ago someone did that or something simpler that is kings and queens lived in that castles and you can into, for me that experience is unique.
In London I would like to walk around the city and see everything ,good and bad things to learn more about how the london people live. Anyway I would like to do this in any country , because I think is the best way to know deeply the country.
Another reason is that I like the language and I love British accent. I would like to live there for a while for the same reasons that I would like to go back.
