Hi dear steemians.

I did not want to stay without exposing the difficult situations we are going through in Venezuela with the use of the internet. Use a translator and I hope my arguments can be understood.

From that day that we were the whole team in discord enjoying an interview program and suddenly the administrator saw how all the participants disappeared, at first he thought that his internet had fallen. But it was not she had gone out in all Venezuela, that caused the entire network to fall. We were already suffering from blackouts and therefore the internet also fell on cell phones.

From there the whole system continued to deteriorate, we had a year without a local call service and we got a technician who offered to repair it at that time for 20 dollars or the equivalent in bolivars. Almost everyone paid it because we felt incommunicado. Before the technician came to repair it, the internet was finished, so we felt an urgent need to recover it. After a week they managed to recover it, but it continues with ups and downs.

When the technician came to fix the telephone lines in my sector, all the neighbors collaborated by providing coffee, we held stairs, we provided help and we also paid enough money, all for having the service again.

In Venezuela, they have also released several television stations, radio stations from the system. They have imprisoned political leaders. People make a joke when we comment on how bad we are going, we think they will take us prisoners at any time, we are worried about our situation, but the Venezuelan is very noble for the most part and takes the problems with a good face. This helps us overcome this terrible situation.
I love Steemit and when I can't write I feel a little desperate, writing helps me express myself to tell my concerns.

Lack of connectivity in Venezuela is a product of corruption, of the enormous corruption that exists at all levels, that story that is because of the economic blockade of the United States is not believed by anyone.

There are blocked pages that we cannot access, every time something happens in the country the government blocks any news portal so that the information does not arrive or is late in reaching people.

The students leave the country and their studies because they no longer see a future here. In my particular case of my three children, all graduates of engineers, two left Venezuela, looking for a better life because of the impossibility of earning a living wage.

In the present moments the internet comes and goes, I write a piece and it goes, I return to retake the idea and write while it returns.

Most of the problems suffered by the communications company are due to divestment by the State. And the impossibility of investing in growth. Nor does it raise the collection of fees and that does not allow investing in updated equipment.

The blackouts left serious consequences not only in the minds of Venezuelans, but also in damage to some equipment. The accelerated growth that we Venezuelans had already entered into the modern era with last generation cell phones have been overshadowed by the inability to buy them and the danger of walking with them on the street.

In spite of everything our children have a great ability to manage the skills with the internet, they are very skilled at moving the fingers on the screen, while we elders are still afraid to touch the screen and erase something by mistake.
