X, y, z are not only the last three letters of the alphabet, they are also the name of the generations of those who are less than fifty years old. It all started with the photographer Robert Capa who wrote, after the great wars, about the unknown generation, the x. From there the name of the group of those born between the 60s and 70s came. Then came the millennials, who became older with the new millennium hand in hand with the crisis and technology. The z are now leaving the classroom. On the occasion of the appearance of a report on the habits of the students, this news appeared: "Terrible effect of audiovisual stimuli in education". The alarm was raised about the abuse that adolescents make of electronic devices, since an inversely proportional relationship was established between the number of hours students are exposed to the five screens (tv, mobile, tablet, console and PC) and their school performance. To the it seems, "the students adopt playful habits that penalize the effort that supposes, for example, to read a book". Also more than two centuries ago there were in England who warned against technological advances. The Luddites was a movement led by artisans who they attacked the new machines like the mechanized looms introduced during the Industrial Revolution in the United Kingdom, since it replaced the less qualified workers. And even further away from our days, Miguel de Cervantes, more than 300 years, he wanted to laugh at other doomsayers who alarmed of the harmful effects of excess of reading, coinciding with the popularization of printing and paper, inventing the gentleman Don Quixote, sick by ingestion of chivalrous novels.
