    Geure-geure Komunitatea

    It didn’t matter what they were about: Pokémon, La Liga, Athletic Club… the point was getting together with your friends and swapping your duplicate trading cards until you completed the whole collection and left no empty spaces in the album. More than one generation grew up living by the wise words “Gotta catch ’em all!” from the wise trainer Ash Ketchum, coming together with friends (and sometimes strangers) to enthusiastically share in this wonderful community built around sticker albums and trading cards.

    New Year, New Life

    We’ve been around for quite a few years now. And over all these years, we’ve had time to do a great many things, to explore countless fronts. But, as with everything in life, it never seems like enough. We want to keep growing, evolving, staying aboard this rocket that’s escaping Earth at 40,000 km/h.

    We Need Each Other To Survive

    As Aristotle already said, “Human beings are social by nature.” And he didn’t say this because he enjoyed having a glass of Lemnian wine with his friends or because the days felt long when he had to stay at home. This is more serious than all that. We need each other to survive.

    How is looking for a restaurant similar to looking for an employee?

    Did you know that many of the technological solutions developed by humans are direct inspirations from the nature around us? One example (perhaps not so well known) is the signaling logic shared by living cells and the Internet. Just as cells don’t act randomly but respond to specific signals, Internet search engines emulate that behavior to return only relevant results. In both systems, biological and digital, the effectiveness of communication is the result of coherence, precision, and the art of being found. In this analogy, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is presented as a kind of applied nature: it’s not about raising your voice, but about speaking the right language, with the right tone and at the right moment, to trigger the optimal response.

    Ordinary Talents, Extraordinary Talents

    When we think of the word talent, our minds are flooded with images of people like Usain Bolt, Aretha Franklin, Albert Einstein, Leo Messi, Simone Biles, or Marie Curie. People who, in their respective fields, have achieved things that “ordinary mortals” would never even imagine reaching.

    Agur, GAFAM

    As soon as I open one eye after waking up, I realize I have a massive hangover. What time is it? Crap, I remember I made brunch plans with my friends at 11, did I oversleep?

    Have You Read the Terms and Conditions?

    There is no consensus on where to situate the birth of the term "globalization." Linked to the economy, some argue that we can trace the origin and development of globalization back to the 16th century, at the dawn of the expeditions led from Europe, which marked the beginning of a globally connected economy.

    The decisions you make today will determine your tomorrow: choose your own future

    April 25, 2073

    Today is my birthday. I wake up with a pleasant tingling sensation all over my body. It has been two years since I started using the exomuscular suit even while sleeping. It is a suit made of a fabric interwoven with nanoscopic intelligent fibers that provide mobility to my deteriorated century-old body. I know this decision undermined my intention to maintain my muscle mass, but other people my age started doing it long ago, and despite everything, they have retained their autonomy. Even so, I still don’t like the idea of depending on it to live.

    In the kitchen with BizkaiaTech Magazine

    Sustainability in the kitchen is in style, and it’s wonderful. Organic food, vegetarian and vegan diets, local produce, seasonal consumption, home gardens… Who wouldn’t love to have fresh tomatoes on their balcony?

    Passing Without Leaving a Trace

    Technological advancements have transformed the way we live, produce, and consume. But they also bring a major challenge: making it sustainable. Undoubtedly, innovation can drive the ecological transition and improve our relationship with the planet, but it also generates a significant environmental footprint.

    Culture built through a STEAM lens

    The world we live in doesn’t stop. Time seems to slip through our fingers, and culture, caught in the rush, often seems to blur. Today’s pace, driven by the speed of information and technology, has fundamentally changed the way we interact with our surroundings and, above all, with each other. Technology undeniably gives us new tools to share and create, yet it also speeds up cultural consumption and virtualizes our relationships. Shared experiences now often feel shallower than they once did, when they connected us more genuinely to our culture.

    Blessed and Wonderful Particles!

    Welcome to the ninth edition of BizkaiaTech Magazine! Although we have discussed many topics related to science and technology, let's take a look back to our first issue titled Kuantum’s spelled with a “K”. Exactly, we are going to talk about quantum again. The future we imagined three years ago is now much closer to becoming a reality thanks to the tireless efforts of everyone involved in this field.

    Quantum Ludo

    Quantum Ludo is Not the Same as Classic Ludo… Just as with particles, the tokens (or "ludocles") on this board will follow quantum rules, ignoring the laws of our physical world. Are you daring enough to play?

    Quantum in Your Living Room

    Everyone remembers school science experiments because, along with sports day (and the last day of school, oops), it used to be the best day of the school year. The volcanoes, the balloons that didn't pop when pricked, the stacked cups, the water and oil… oh, what we’d give to go back…

    2084 A World Out There

    OCTOBER, 2032: the overpopulation of cities has pushed society to its limits. Prices, inflation, a lack of economic stability, and pollution are the perfect breeding ground for riots. The prelude to a revolution.

    Slow down to speed up

    With one eye in the microscope and one in the telescope. In each issue, we put our neurons to work to discover and propose interesting topics for BizkaiaTech Magazine. We approach it as a challenge, wanting to bring different topics to the table that spark conversation and leave readers intrigued. With this issue, we hope that those much-needed and urgent debates will emerge, ones that are coherent with a world as complex as the one we live in today, ones that are needed so that, together, through dialogue, we can all build a better future.

    The right to quality of life

    Why kid ourselves? People are huge fans of a good dystopia. Lines at the movies for Oppenheimer (2023) (that flick about the Manhattan Project starring Cillian Murphy), sensational headlines across different outlets predicting an apocalypse brought on by artificial intelligence and robots, and the classic family dinner where someone brings up the topic of "gaming consoles." "Back in the day, we played outside," says your uncle Kepa, throwing shade at the console you're hooked on.

    The magical hands

    Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a monster nobody dared to speak of. It was an exceedingly wicked creature, a monster that thrived on the misery and loneliness of people. Something utterly vile and filled with hatred, something no one wanted anywhere near.

    All together now

    There are times when we have everything it takes to be successful and happy; or, at least this is true if we conceive of success and happiness as we have been taught to. But… if everything is just fine, what’s missing? Surely, you’ve heard, or even uttered, this phrase at some point. Well, let’s say that something quite like this happens when leading projects.

    GovTech: Redesigning the Government

    We face the challenge of redesigning the model of society, of government, and of civil service. We must shift from a static model to a dynamic one in which it’s more important to focus on what society really needs rather than “what I can offer as a government.” We have to begin to ask ourselves: “What do citizens need?”.

    The Square

    A place where you can be. A large square where there are kids running around, and people who have lived in the neighborhood all their lives, playing pétanque. You, having a beer with your friends, while young people dressed in punk fashion play the guitar. An open space where everyone can create their little place in the world, yet live together in perfect harmony.

    The past and the present are the future

    The cinematograph was an amazing invention, right? It was patented back in 1895 by Auguste and Louis Lumière, the pioneers of the movie scene. The early movies were like 15 to 20 meters long—talk about old school! That huge object found its way into global entertainment, shaking things up big time. After a lot of changes, it morphed into those VHS tapes that took over people’s living rooms, and then shrunk down into those sleek DVDs. And now? Well, all our audiovisual needs are just a button away on our trusty Smart TV.
