Peru

An empty auditorium to hear an interesting lecture leaves the blogger at Sin Papel [ES] perplexed. What can be done to get Peruvians more interested in information technologies? The lecture given by a university professor was not well attended, and not because of high registration costs. It was free. The blogger thinks that students should take advantage of these free opportunities, which would help the country remain more competitive. He also asks his readers how to generate more interest and encouragement to Peruvians.

Generation Y adds her perspective to the issue of the upcoming papal visit: “At the end of the nineties Karol Wojtyla lit up our hearts – including those of agnostics like myself – saying the word ‘freedom' more than a dozens times in the Plaza of the Revolution. But now the apathy and discouragement will make it more difficult for the phrases of Ratzinger to inspire the same emotion. His visit will be but a pallid reflection of that other, because we are no longer the same, nor is it the same Pope.”
