My favourite piece of technology

By far my favourite piece of technology is the PC. It is practical, useful, entertainment developer. But I think there is too many information and reviews from many users on the internet, magazines, journals, etc.

Keeping this in mind, I would prefer to talk about turntables as my favourite piece of technology. I've recently bought one in late 2016 and I have to say it: It was one of my best inversion in my life. The sound quality is matchless, the best I've ever heard, maybe it's not that practical as cd's, but, by far has a better quality sound.

But turntable is nothing without vinyls, when I bought my turntable I've bought one vinyl for it: "Recordings" by Porcupine Tree, Until the actual date, I have 3 vinyls (yes, not much, but they´re expensive): "Recordings" and "In Absentia", both by Porcupine Tree and "Still Life" by Opeth.

In general terms, what I really like about this format (physical, more than only vinyls), is the fact of immersion with the music, Generate a real connection between the sounds and artwork, It is a thing that digital music won't give.

Why did I choose Biochemistry?

Since I was a child, I've always have been interested in science area, one of my favourites was (and still) astronomy. I used to always read books and articles about stars, galaxies, matter, planets, etc. Also I was very into animals with my class mates, we used to do presentations every weeks about that (voluntarily, because we really liked it).

Then, when I was in high school I was into business and marketing and then when I finished high school I could get into that career but then I was really disappointed.

A year and a half later, I've entered into Chemical Engineering, but for personal motives, I quit.

As I've said in my last post, my mother studied obstetrics, so I've always been into biology, never was difficult to me and as I like sciences, I really like chemistry, that's why I get into this career and at the moment has been very interesting, specially the area of proteins and toxicology. Thanks for reading.

Hi.

My name is Juan Pablo Ruz Cabello, I was born on Santiago december 29th 1993.

I'm studying Biochemistry at Universidad de Chile.

My dad is a history teacher, he studied at Universidad de Talca. My mom is a lawyer and she studied at Universidad de Chile, but also she studied obstetrics at Universidad de Chile. Also I have a younger brother, his name is Ignacio and he has Down syndrome and Autistic features, we are so unite.

I really like music and like to listen a lot of rock/metal bands, specially progressive, like King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Yes, Pink Floyd, Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Tool, Rishloo, Soen, etc. I really enjoy long play songs and conceptual albums, music has to be immersive to me, a bit technical and a little bit emotional. I have a collection of CD's I've started like 10 years ago, now I have 24 of them and recently start to buying vinyls.

As I've said, I'm studying Biochemistry, after a couple of years of disappointments, confusions and anguishes, I hope this career is what  I'm going to do for my life.

Thanks for reading this.
