Hi! This week we have to talk about our favorite piece of technology and it's a very hard question to answer, everything around us is very technologic nowadays. When I was around fourteen I entered for the first time at the projection area of an old cinema in Talca and it was amazing! Seeing the machines that project the films onto the screen i feel like i was Toto in cinema paradiso! There's an history about how when Thomas Edison wrote the patent to the cinema (although others have previously make cinema machines in europe) he patented the “images in movement” I think even if I hate that patent and the idea that all the images come from his invention, I cannot find a better word to my favorite piece of technology, the images in movement. I really cannot recommend enough the Maximo Gorki poem “Last night I was in the Kingdom of Shadows” when he described the first time he saw the Lumiere brothers show, the first cinema-like spectacle, in black and white and with no sound....
