The 5 of April will be a date that will ambien online order be able to happen unnoticed. Indeed, ambien online order of this day several civil organizations initiate a regressive account of thousand days for year 2 ambien online order Although we are only to three years to conclude a millenium, she must be clear that in Mexico little abuse addiction ambien atmosphere is lived on century aim.

Who we have a preoccupation by ambien online order abandonment ambien online order which t iene the study of the new technologies of information and communication we were united to so important initiative in order to realise a declaration, or letter of intentions, where they are clear some of the risks that are run when surviving in the ignorance before the technological advance.

The information technology always has been originated and remained ligature to ambien online order political and military power. Of ambien online order its importance and there the determining roll that plays in the eonómicos processes, political and social of the present world.

The evident thing would be then to condemn it of entrance. Not to speak nor to want to know nothing of an information system that is ambien online order by its origin. Nevertheless in a ambien online order years, the limits of the technological fact are developing that no analysis seems to have the last word. Their dominions arrive much more far that those that its origin marks, the military man, and his field of development, the commercial one.

Unlike the mechanical era, and of the era of massive mass media, the new means of information and communication, in few years of life, not more than 26 if part of the invention of the microprocessor, have demonstrated to surpass most condemnatory the most optimistic theses as well as, leaving to the investigator and to the critic of means the difficult task of creating new challenges to construct a real interpretation before this phenomenon.

It turns out soprendente to state until degree the information technologies continue being a fashionable factor for great part of the academic ones. In the best one of the cases they are appendices of the television (television by cable, television via satellite, videos, etc.) the confusion leaves from an erroneous conception abuse addiction ambien the study object. Until the present time they are few who have accepted to see them like an information system and abuse addiction ambien - a process of technological and social convergence abuse addiction ambien the old woman means megre to the new ones creating an apparatus of information and communication without precedents.

If some of ambien online order investigations realised on the subject are reviewed, in many ambien online order it tries to redeem the old technology against the new one. One treats, then, to dismantle to a single body in a species of semibodies without apparent relation.

He 12.5mg ambien cr urgent that schools and universities assume 12.5mg ambien cr their plans and programs ambien online order esudio a serious position and it jeopardize before this reality. It is not sufficient to integrate the study ambien online order one or two authors - in the best one of the McLuhan- cases to understand the technologies. A theoretical body is required good constituted and of an interdisciplinary ambien online order of the knowledge. The specializations are from this perspective like part of the history of the thought of century XIX and principles of the XX. History, the Philosophy, the Mathematics or Sociology remain without support if they are not accompanied by the engineering and sciences of the information and the communication.

The update is and will have to be a permanent position and ambien online order by ambien online order The investigation matters will have to review and to enrich ambien online order theoretical advances. Its ideal space will be the ambien online order field. The simulation will be in all the orders of the knowledge. Finally the communication of results will be made through dominion of the digital languages when occupying the image in abuse addiction ambien a fundamental place to make advance the scientific knowledge. The cultural and social reflection must be in center of the scene. To retake and to analyze from a forecast, subjects 12.5mg ambien cr in past decades were without a concrete answer: the new world-wide informative order, the social and cultural development, education, impacts, the new professions, the definition of the public (universal) of the networks, the new languages and forms to read in network, the impact of the technology in 12.5mg ambien cr means of communication, the cultural identity and the cultural policy in short, good amount of subjects and matters that are in the agenda of UNESCO.

Without this consideration more than 100 schools of communication that exist thus in Mexico - as the majority of the university professions is leaving in the forgetfulness a good percentage of ambien online order and professional the field that provide these thousand days. The 5 of April marked for the most wide-awake spirits and it jeopardize with the change, the beginning of a regressive account.

With this reason they ambien online order in the Department of Communication of the Latin American ambien online order protected by Chair UNESCO, more than 25 investigators and professors of several abuse addiction ambien and universities abuse addiction ambien assume this point to begin with.

The root abuse addiction ambien the problem the universities in Mexico that are equipping of form accelerated in the matter of calculation and communications networks, without having abuse addiction ambien common project that of sense to the interdiscipline Are abuse addiction ambien that must characterize the knowledge abuse addiction ambien which they protect to the 2000.

The technological convergence is a technical principle - the loss of borders between means of information and other take that them 12.5mg ambien cr affect a unique system of information and communication. This convergence in the apparatuses and networks as well as the convergence in the languages are calling to a convergence in the physical and social spaces. The school and the university can continue ambien online order equipment departmental for a reason or ambien online order without watching the necessity to create a physical and experimental space that takes to sensitize the most important actor of 12.5mg ambien cr process: professors and investigators.

The ambien online order technologies at random do not have abuse addiction ambien sense. To integrate them in its physical, abuse addiction ambien and emotional confirguración is to have ambien online order all educative organization. As well as we counted on an 12.5mg ambien cr of integration of the general knowledge, is desirable to create an area of cultural integration before the different apparatuses, networks and services that conform this information system and communication. Area of integration where from the different ambien online order from the human thought they are known and evaluén the technological advances. It will be a space of creation and tending experimentation to form the mentality necessary to approach science in 2001: the interdiscipline.

The 12.5mg ambien cr - young minors of 25 years in their majority ambien online order and dominate the technology. Unlike the adults, ambien online order do not need to live a process ambien online order technological sensitization that leaves from zero. They require direction and elaboration of projects jeopardizes with its society; these must divide of a new relation before the process education-aprenizaje: students and professors who intractúan and interchange knowledge. A technology 12.5mg ambien cr educative direction, is a technology that operates the neoliberal project in the marks of a wild Capitalism.

Of there the necessity to count on a common space of ambien online order experimentation, exploration of cultural and educative initiatives, investigations apicadas to basic sciences. While the technological resources with the projects of social ambien online order are not conjunguen, the richest potential of the technology will be ambien online order been leaving a side: the intercommunication, the information ambien online order double flow, the processes of communication and interchange of data.

To create a technological ambien online order is 12.5mg ambien cr our hands. By so it must be understood 12.5mg ambien cr know how to explore the routes that demand the telecommunications, but also to enter itself ambien online order new educative principles. That is to say, to know how to make public the deprived knowledge, to be able to share information with national and international networks in ambien online order a way that true processes ambien online order interchange and advance in the knowledge are developed. The studies of prospective like inherent part to all investigation are also one of the challenges that this technological culture provides. Update, interactivity, analysis and knowledge of the technological object as well as qualification of by life in the handling of computer apparatuses and software. Therefore it ambien online order only be possible to be affected the social and artistic land of our society ambien online order therefore the elitist character of the end technology ambien online order only be able to be reduced.

Between the fundamental questions that they arose during this meeting: why the computer does not extend to the hall classes? Why still this new form to investigate does not affect plans and training programs of the majority of the university abuse addiction ambien Why social engineerings and sciences not abuse addiction ambien find a coincidence point?

So that each of these points is viable is essential that schools and universities, - still built in the principles of education-learning of century ambien online order they approach those economic structures that already 12.5mg ambien cr contiguous with the interests and forms to 12.5mg ambien cr about the XXI: the companies of telecommunications.

It is summoned, also, to that abuse addiction ambien new telephone companies that form in Mexico include between their activities the foundation of an institute of social investigations on the abuse addiction ambien of the telecommunications. One would be to construct a concept on the universal thing of the networks (equivalent to the public concept on watch that were used at the time of the Broadcasting). Case FUNDESCO of Telephone Spanish is a good example. Between his objectives it would be creating a series of projects of social interest, related to the academy on these subjects as well as to disclose investigations through books and periodic publications. To distribute seminaries, to enable the workers, to sensitize to the society as a whole before the use of the technology for the development.

It is important also to concentrate studies and ambien online order 12.5mg ambien cr the contents of new means, to emphasize the ethics in the communications that derive from multiplicity of new actors, where it is difficult to identify the authenticity of the sources. By each weight that is reversed in technologies, another one in creativity will have to be reversed, otherwise our activity will be 12.5mg ambien cr to the one of simple consumers of programs of software and audio-visual material, generated by abuse addiction ambien whose economic and social condition is totally different from ours. To the universities and the college students it corresponds abrir this new one to them via.

Chair UNESCO Telecommunications and Society of the Department of Communication makes patent this preoccupation so that it becomes proposal of abuse addiction ambien interdisciplinary and interuniversity work in order to discuss it and to direct it throughout these thousand days.
