TECHNOLOGY = PASSPORT “ There will be a day, not far distant, when you will be able to conduct business, study, explore the world and its cultures, call up any great entertainment, make friends, attend neighborhood markets, and show pictures to distant relatives — without leaving your desk or armchair. It will be more than an object you carry or an appliance you purchase. It will be your passport into a new, mediated way of life.” Bill Gates (1955-) The Road Ahead, 1995. Microsoft Chairman. http://www.famousquotes.com/by_category.php?letter=t

AVOID LONG NARRATIVES Rubén Darío participó con, muchos movimientos literarios en Chile, España, Argentina, y Nicaragua. El movimiento modernista era una recopilación de tres movimientos de Europa: romanticismo, símbolismo, y el parnasianismo. Estas ideas expresan pasión, arte visual, y armonías y ritmos como música. Prosas Profanas representa la esencia del “Modernismo" tanto en el predominio de las imágenes exóticas, liras, colias, ebúrneos cisnes, bufones escarlatas, pavos reales, siringos agrestes, púberes, caméforas. Y los ambientes aristocráticos. En sus Prosas Profanas, el modernismo preciosista caracterizado por la fantasia, la exquisitez, el exotismo, y el cosmopolitismo.
