We want them to move from being <strong>passive consumers</strong>&#8212;those who devour 15-second videos one after another&#8212;to becoming <strong>digital creators</strong>.</p><p>As parents, we often feel lost searching for content that isn&#8217;t &#8220;digital trash&#8221; (full of ads, addictive algorithms, or unmonitored chats). That is why today I want to talk to you about a corner of the internet that is, quite simply, an educational gem: <strong><a href="https://experiments.withgoogle.com/">Google Experiments</a></strong>.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscr&#237;bete ahora&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?"><span>Suscr&#237;bete ahora</span></a></p><p>This isn&#8217;t a typical gaming platform. It is a showcase of experimental projects that use code, music, and artificial intelligence to show what is &#8220;under the hood&#8221; of technology. It&#8217;s a place where programming feels less like a math class and more like a magic trick they can control themselves.</p><p>Here is my selection of the most powerful experiments to explore as a family, organized by what your children can learn:</p><div><hr></div><h2>1. Demystifying Artificial Intelligence (AI)</h2><p>Instead of seeing AI as something abstract or &#8220;magical,&#8221; these experiments teach them that machines learn because we train them. This is pure <strong>computational thinking</strong>.</p><ul><li><p><strong><a href="https://teachablemachine.withgoogle.com/">Teachable Machine</a></strong>: The star experiment. It allows a child to use their webcam to teach the computer to recognize objects or gestures. Want the computer to clap when it detects you&#8217;re wearing glasses? You can do it here.</p></li><li><p><strong><a href="https://quickdraw.withgoogle.com/">Quick, Draw!</a></strong>: A &#8220;Pictionary&#8221; game against a neural network. Kids draw, and the AI tries to guess what it is. It&#8217;s perfect for discussing how machines classify information and learning that, sometimes, they also make mistakes.</p></li><li><p><strong><a href="https://experiments.withgoogle.com/say-what-you-see">Say What You See</a></strong>: A description challenge. They must write what they see in an image so the AI can try to replicate it. A brilliant way to train precision in language and understand the &#8220;art of the prompt.&#8221;</p></li><li><p><strong><a href="https://research.google.com/semantris/?authuser=1">Semantris</a></strong>: A word association game where the AI scores based on semantic relationships. Ideal for expanding vocabulary and understanding how machines connect logical concepts.</p></li></ul><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lqPO!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb0324b9a-1d43-42a8-bdf7-1e3e4092f2ef_1280x720.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lqPO!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb0324b9a-1d43-42a8-bdf7-1e3e4092f2ef_1280x720.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lqPO!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb0324b9a-1d43-42a8-bdf7-1e3e4092f2ef_1280x720.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lqPO!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb0324b9a-1d43-42a8-bdf7-1e3e4092f2ef_1280x720.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lqPO!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb0324b9a-1d43-42a8-bdf7-1e3e4092f2ef_1280x720.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lqPO!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb0324b9a-1d43-42a8-bdf7-1e3e4092f2ef_1280x720.jpeg" width="1280" height="720" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b0324b9a-1d43-42a8-bdf7-1e3e4092f2ef_1280x720.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:720,&quot;width&quot;:1280,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:55810,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/i/193792558?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb0324b9a-1d43-42a8-bdf7-1e3e4092f2ef_1280x720.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lqPO!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb0324b9a-1d43-42a8-bdf7-1e3e4092f2ef_1280x720.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lqPO!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb0324b9a-1d43-42a8-bdf7-1e3e4092f2ef_1280x720.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lqPO!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb0324b9a-1d43-42a8-bdf7-1e3e4092f2ef_1280x720.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lqPO!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb0324b9a-1d43-42a8-bdf7-1e3e4092f2ef_1280x720.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><h2>2.

From turning drawings into music to seeing how a sound wave vibrates. It is visual, intuitive, and fascinating music.</p></li><li><p><strong><a href="https://artsandculture.google.com/experiment/blob-opera/mzH1S_9YpY0Z_Q?authuser=1">Blob Opera</a></strong>: Four &#8220;blobs&#8221; that sing opera in real-time.

It&#8217;s a lesson in vocal technique and musical harmony disguised as a fun game.</p></li><li><p><strong><a href="https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Shared-Piano/">Shared Piano</a></strong>: A collaborative virtual piano. You can send the link to a friend and play together in real-time from different homes. Technology as a bridge, not a wall.</p></li><li><p><strong><a href="https://lines.chromeexperiments.com/">Land Lines</a></strong>: Draw a line or scribble, and the experiment will search for satellite images from across the planet (rivers, coastlines, roads) that match your stroke.

of social media and empty consumption. Google Experiments is the antidote for three reasons:</p><ol><li><p><strong>No ads or &#8220;hooks&#8221;</strong>: There are no algorithms trying to keep you there for three hours. The goal is for you to try something, learn, and leave with a new idea.</p></li><li><p><strong>Open Source</strong>: Many projects show how they were made. They encourage that curiosity to &#8220;open the lid&#8221; of the machine.</p></li><li><p><strong>Active Participation</strong>: Here you don&#8217;t just watch; you touch, you train, and you create.</p></li></ol><p><strong>One final piece of advice</strong>: Don&#8217;t leave them alone with these experiments. Sit with them. Try to &#8220;trick&#8221; the <em>Quick, Draw!</em> AI or compose a crazy melody in the <em>Music Lab</em>. When we get involved, we show them that the internet isn&#8217;t just a place to watch, but a giant laboratory for experimentation.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscr&#237;bete ahora&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?"><span>Suscr&#237;bete ahora</span></a></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Google Experiments: El patio de recreo digital que convierte a tus hijos en creadores.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Una gu&#237;a pr&#225;ctica para explorar la inteligencia artificial y el arte digital a trav&#233;s de contenido seguro, creativo y sin publicidad.]]></description><link>https://www.papitek.com/p/google-experiments-el-patio-de-recreo</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.papitek.com/p/google-experiments-el-patio-de-recreo</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Papitek]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 10 Apr 2026 04:00:53 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/653fb0dc-13b1-4627-bd6f-6ba4b54e39e3_1424x752.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Si sigues este blog, sabr&#225;s que tenemos una peque&#241;a &#8220;obsesi&#243;n&#8221; en <strong>Papitek</strong>: transformar el tiempo de pantalla de nuestros hijos.

Es el lugar donde la programaci&#243;n se siente menos como una clase de matem&#225;ticas y m&#225;s como un truco de magia que ellos mismos pueden controlar.</p><p>Aqu&#237; ten&#233;is mi selecci&#243;n de los experimentos m&#225;s potentes para explorar en familia, organizados por lo que vuestros hijos pueden aprender:</p><div><hr></div><h2>1. Desmitificando la Inteligencia Artificial (IA)</h2><p>En lugar de ver la IA como algo abstracto o &#8220;m&#225;gico&#8221;, estos experimentos les ense&#241;an que las m&#225;quinas aprenden porque nosotros las entrenamos. Es puro <strong>pensamiento computacional</strong>.</p><ul><li><p><strong><a href="https://teachablemachine.withgoogle.com/">Teachable Machine</a></strong>: El experimento estrella. Permite que un ni&#241;o use su c&#225;mara web para ense&#241;ar a la computadora a reconocer objetos o gestos. &#191;Quieres que el ordenador aplauda cuando detecte que llevas gafas? Aqu&#237; puedes hacerlo.</p></li><li><p><strong><a href="https://quickdraw.withgoogle.com/">Quick, Draw!</a></strong>: Un &#8220;Pictionary&#8221; contra una red neuronal. Los ni&#241;os dibujan y la IA intenta adivinar qu&#233; es. Es perfecto para hablar de c&#243;mo las m&#225;quinas clasifican la informaci&#243;n y de que, a veces, tambi&#233;n se equivocan.</p></li><li><p><strong><a href="https://experiments.withgoogle.com/say-what-you-see">Say What You See</a></strong>: Un reto de descripci&#243;n. Tienen que escribir qu&#233; ven en una imagen para que la IA intente replicarla. Una forma brillante de entrenar la precisi&#243;n en el lenguaje y entender el &#8220;arte del prompt&#8221;.</p></li><li><p><strong><a href="https://research.google.com/semantris/?authuser=1">Semantris</a></strong>: Un juego de asociaci&#243;n de palabras donde la IA punt&#250;a seg&#250;n la relaci&#243;n sem&#225;ntica.

For a teacher, it is the control tower from which they organize lessons, grade, and track each student&#8217;s progress in real-time. For us, as parents, understanding how they work is key to helping our children develop autonomy. It is not just a file repository; it is a management center where the student learns to organize their time, prioritize tasks, and interact in a controlled professional environment long before facing the working world.</p><p>I am often asked if studying through an <strong>LMS</strong> is the same as a traditional face-to-face class. The answer is a resounding no, and that is where its value lies. While face-to-face classes are based on synchronicity and direct contact, studying via an <strong>LMS</strong> fosters &#8220;asynchronous&#8221; learning. This allows a teenager to review a math video as many times as they need or participate in a discussion forum at their own pace. The <strong>LMS</strong> does not replace the teacher; instead, it amplifies their reach, allowing the classroom to become a space for practice while theory is managed flexibly on the platform.</p><p>If we take a look at the tools your children might be using at school, the undisputed queens are Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams. Both are options integrated into ecosystems we already know and are noted for their simplicity. However, in recent years, Canvas has burst onto the scene. Unlike the previous ones, Canvas was born specifically as a pure <strong>LMS</strong> and stands out for its highly visual and easy-to-use interface, allowing both students and parents to see the delivery calendar and grades very transparently at a glance. It is, possibly, the platform that best balances technical power with a modern user experience.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

capacity it gives our children to own their own learning. A well-used <strong>LMS</strong> teaches them digital responsibility: knowing where to look for material, how to submit an assignment on time, and how to collaborate with other classmates remotely. These are skills that will serve them for life, regardless of whether they decide to be engineers, artists, or entrepreneurs in the future.</p><p>As I always say, technology should not be a wall, but a bridge. Don&#8217;t be afraid to take a look at these platforms with them. Ask them how they organize their folders in Classroom or what course catches their eye on Coursera. By getting involved, we show them that learning online is not a lonely task, but a shared adventure in which we can always guide them on the path of curiosity and discipline.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscr&#237;bete ahora&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?"><span>Suscr&#237;bete ahora</span></a></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humanoides Asociados v1.5]]></title><description><![CDATA[Bienvenidos a Humanoides Asociados, el programa de tecnolog&#237;a que jam&#225;s te recomendar&#225; el hijo de puta de Donald Trump En &#171;El Update&#187; de esta semana, analizamos la tormenta pol&#237;tica sobre la IA: Anthropic frente a la administraci&#243;n Trump.]]></description><link>https://www.papitek.com/p/humanoides-asociados-v15-7a8</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.papitek.com/p/humanoides-asociados-v15-7a8</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Papitek]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 10 Mar 2026 18:12:55 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/190536790/dd2e75d4b9a58eab29bc201c3fdd8299.mp3" length="0" type="audio/mpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Bienvenidos a Humanoides Asociados, el programa de tecnolog&#237;a que jam&#225;s te recomendar&#225; el hijo de puta de Donald Trump</strong></p><p><strong>En &#171;El Update&#187; de esta semana, analizamos la tormenta pol&#237;tica sobre la IA: Anthropic frente a la administraci&#243;n Trump.

En este ecosistema digital, los <strong>LMS (Learning Management Systems)</strong> se han convertido en el coraz&#243;n de la educaci&#243;n moderna. Pero &#191;qu&#233; son exactamente? Imag&#237;nalos como un gran &#8220;agregador de conocimiento&#8221;: un espacio &#250;nico en la nube donde se centralizan apuntes, v&#237;deos, ex&#225;menes y comunicaci&#243;n, evitando que la informaci&#243;n se pierda en un mar de correos electr&#243;nicos.</p><p>La magia de un LMS reside en su capacidad para gestionar el caos. Para un profesor, es la torre de control desde donde organiza las lecciones, califica y hace un seguimiento en tiempo real del progreso de cada alumno. Para nosotros, como padres, entender su funcionamiento es clave para ayudar a nuestros hijos a desarrollar autonom&#237;a. No se trata solo de un repositorio de archivos; es un centro de gesti&#243;n donde el estudiante aprende a organizar su tiempo, a priorizar tareas y a interactuar en un entorno profesional controlado, mucho antes de enfrentarse al mundo laboral.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscr&#237;bete ahora&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?"><span>Suscr&#237;bete ahora</span></a></p><p>A menudo me preguntan si estudiar a trav&#233;s de un LMS es lo mismo que la clase presencial de toda la vida. La respuesta es un rotundo no y ah&#237; radica su valor. Mientras que la clase presencial se basa en la sincron&#237;a y el contacto directo, el estudio mediante un LMS fomenta el aprendizaje &#8220;as&#237;ncrono&#8221;. Esto permite que un adolescente pueda repasar un v&#237;deo de matem&#225;ticas las veces que necesite o participar en un foro de debate a su propio ritmo. El LMS no sustituye al profesor, sino que amplifica su alcance, permitiendo que el aula se convierta en un espacio de pr&#225;ctica mientras que la teor&#237;a se gestiona de forma flexible en la plataforma.</p><p>Si echamos un vistazo a las herramientas que tus hijos podr&#237;an estar usando en el colegio, las reinas indiscutibles son <strong>Google Classroom</strong> y <strong>Microsoft Teams</strong>. Ambas son opciones integradas en ecosistemas que ya conocemos y que destacan por su sencillez. Sin embargo, en los &#250;ltimos a&#241;os ha irrumpido con fuerza <strong>Canvas</strong>. A diferencia de las anteriores, Canvas naci&#243; espec&#237;ficamente como un LMS puro y destaca por una interfaz muy visual y f&#225;cil de usar, permitiendo que tanto alumnos como padres vean de un vistazo el calendario de entregas y las calificaciones de forma muy transparente. Es, posiblemente, la plataforma que mejor equilibra potencia t&#233;cnica con una experiencia de usuario moderna.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

The measure includes requiring tech companies to implement reliable and secure age verification systems and, furthermore, making the executives of these companies legally responsible for any non-compliance they may incur.</p><p>The announcement responds to a shift in the perception of new technologies that began a few years ago, primarily following scandals like the one involving Facebook and Cambridge Analytica. Since then, a certain &#8220;techno-pessimism&#8221; has replaced those years when social media seemed like democratizing tools that had arrived to &#8220;make the world a better place.&#8221; Those were the days when it seemed Twitter was the cause of popular revolutions and not the cesspool of hate it has become today.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscribirse&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;es&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">&#161;Gracias por leer!

The combination of mobile phones and social networks&#8212;especially Instagram and TikTok&#8212;has given rise to what Jonathan Haidt calls the &#8220;phone-based childhood.&#8221;</p><p>With this shift in perception, the first attempts to change the status quo have begun&#8212;a status quo that seemed to be driving us to leave our children in the hands of social media at increasingly younger ages. The mobile phone, and with it uncontrolled access to social networks, was being handed over earlier and earlier. Twelve years old seemed like the absolute ceiling that was impossible to exceed without giving them one, but for a long time now, it has been the &#8220;star gift&#8221; of the First Communion (between ages 7 and 10), and it is quite common to see smartphones in primary schools.</p><p>First came the changes in the regulation of schools and institutes, banning phones in classrooms. Regarding social media, Australia was the first country to make a move by banning access to those under 16; following them, others like France (15 years) and now Spain seem to be following the same line. If we set aside the noise that political polarization can create, we welcome the fact that attempts are finally being made to change a situation that was starting to become truly worrying. Let&#8217;s analyze the different aspects of this news.</p><div><hr></div><h3>Do Social Media Cause Mental Health Problems?</h3><p>This is the most controversial point. Judging by the data, it seems evident that a global mental health epidemic has been recorded over the last ten years, especially affecting young people. Numerous experts from fields such as psychology, psychiatry, or sociology argue that there is no <em>causal</em> relationship between social media use and these problems. At this point, it is worth remembering that causality is not the same as correlation: just because two events are related doesn&#8217;t mean one causes the other.</p><p>However, many other researchers believe that the correlation between the two is, on its own, a reason to legislate on the matter, especially given the gravity of the problem. Others emphasize a point to keep in mind: use is not the same as abuse. Perhaps a reasonable use of social media does not have a negative impact, but its addictive design pushes many adolescents to use it uncontrollably, negatively affecting multiple aspects of their lives.</p><div><hr></div><h3>Can You Put Gates on the Internet Field?</h3><p>One of the most unknown aspects for most families is the technical impact that the development of the law may have. At first glance, it is hard to believe the big tech companies when they claim they cannot determine a user&#8217;s age with certainty, especially considering the advanced AI systems they use to know our most intimate details. However, the question lies not only in the possibility of doing it but in doing it securely, without revealing our identity. The EU has been working for some time on a &#8220;digital passport&#8221; to facilitate these types of operations, though it is still years away from being available.</p><p>Another issue that has been highlighted in countries that have already passed similar laws is the technical &#8220;tricks&#8221; to bypass blocks. The most obvious is the use of a VPN. This technology allows a user to simulate a connection from another country where the age restriction does not apply. While it is true that for any measure approved, some kind of cheat will exist, it is no less true that not everyone has the technical knowledge to use it. Furthermore, disincentivizing&#8212;even if it doesn&#8217;t represent an absolute triumph in the short term&#8212;always represents progress in the long run when it comes to changing habits and customs.</p><div><hr></div><h3>And the Tech Companies, What About Them?</h3><p>Many voices accurately point out that the true and definitive solution must involve a redesign of these types of applications. We are all familiar with the techniques social media uses to &#8220;vampirize&#8221; our attention: infinite scroll, instant gratification, social validation through likes, constant notifications... The algorithm they work with drags people&#8212;and more forcefully, adolescents&#8212;into an &#8220;echo chamber&#8221; effect where they come to believe that the world is, in fact, what is happening on their timeline.</p><p>Knowing these strategies, it wouldn&#8217;t hurt to demand that the companies creating these networks stop performing social engineering experiments on the minds of our youth. Their profit model based on advertising must be able to survive without turning the brain into a punching bag, constantly rattled by algorithms seeking their thirty seconds of glory at the expense of polarizing, poisoning, and destroying self-esteem through social comparison strategies.</p><div><hr></div><h3>The Role of Families</h3><p>And what is our role as families in all this? Well, obviously, we must take the lead, regardless of what happens with the new law. The ultimate responsibility for everything that has happened so far is ours, and it will remain so. Beyond how &#8220;evil&#8221; social media can be, it is in our hands to educate our children in the responsible use of any type of technology. Warning them of the dangers, controlling their use, or proposing creative alternatives are tasks we should incorporate into our digital routine.</p><p>Of course, the most important part of education comes from the example we set. It is useless to try to explain to young people how harmful social media can be if we spend the day with our own noses buried in Instagram. One of the reasons the age of use plummeted was the inability of parents to forbid their children from something they themselves did not perceive as dangerous. Well, it is time we treat social networks as what they are: something as harmful, addictive, and dangerous as tobacco or alcohol. You wouldn&#8217;t let your children smoke or drink at 12 years old, would you? Exactly.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/p/is-banning-mobile-phones-in-schools?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Compartir&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.papitek.com/p/is-banning-mobile-phones-in-schools?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Compartir</span></a></p><h3>A Final Reflection</h3><p>I am reading many people saying that the law will not achieve the desired effect, that it has technical complications that aren&#8217;t being discussed, or that it is a cover to deflect attention from the government&#8217;s political problems. These types of comments seem cynical to me. What is the alternative? Denying that social media is related to multiple mental health issues by hiding behind certain statistical studies? Honestly, anyone who has children or pays a little attention to youth will realize that something is wrong and that we have lost control of the situation.</p><p>All the excuses and criticisms regarding the law will not hide the harsh reality: it is necessary to put a foot in the door and stop this spiral we have fallen into. Someday, we will look back and think how we were so naive and irresponsible to let our children connect, practically without control, to technologies with such harmful potential as current social media.</p><p><strong>Doing nothing cannot be an option.</strong></p><p><strong>Enough is enough.</strong></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscribirse&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;es&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">&#161;Gracias por leer!

La medida incluye exigir a las compa&#241;&#237;as tecnol&#243;gicas que implementen sistemas fiables y seguros de verificaci&#243;n de la edad y, adem&#225;s, convertir a los ejecutivos de estas compa&#241;&#237;as en responsables legales de los posibles incumplimientos en los que puedan incurrir.</p><p>El anuncio responde a un cambio en la percepci&#243;n de las nuevas tecnolog&#237;as que comenz&#243; hace unos a&#241;os, principalmente a ra&#237;z de esc&#225;ndalos como el relacionado con Facebook y Cambridge Analytica. Desde entonces, un cierto tecnopesimismo vino a reemplazar aquellos a&#241;os en los que las redes sociales nos parec&#237;an herramientas democratizadoras que hab&#237;an llegado para &#8220;hacer del mundo un lugar mejor&#8221; (<em>make the world a better place</em>). Qu&#233; tiempos aquellos en los que parec&#237;a que Twitter era el causante de las revoluciones populares y no el estercolero de odio en el que se ha convertido.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscr&#237;bete ahora&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?"><span>Suscr&#237;bete ahora</span></a></p><p>Desde entonces, han sido muchas las voces que se han alzado para denunciar el impacto negativo que las redes sociales tienen en el bienestar de los j&#243;venes: p&#233;rdida de atenci&#243;n, incremento de la intensidad del acoso juvenil, intromisiones en la privacidad, problemas de salud mental relacionados con la autoestima o el sue&#241;o. La combinaci&#243;n de los m&#243;viles con las redes sociales, especialmente Instagram y TikTok, ha dado lugar a lo que Jonathan Haidt llama la &#8220;infancia basada en el tel&#233;fono&#8221;.</p><p>Con el giro en la percepci&#243;n sobre las nuevas tecnolog&#237;as, han comenzado los primeros intentos de cambiar un <em>status quo</em> que parec&#237;a abocarnos a dejar a nuestros hijos en manos de las redes sociales a edades cada vez m&#225;s tempranas. El m&#243;vil, y con &#233;l un acceso descontrolado a las RR. SS., cada vez se entregaba antes. Doce a&#241;os parec&#237;a el techo m&#225;ximo imposible de superar sin d&#225;rselo, pero es que ya hace tiempo que es el regalo estrella de la primera comuni&#243;n (entre los 7 y 10 a&#241;os) y es bastante com&#250;n ver tel&#233;fonos inteligentes en colegios de primaria.</p><p>Primero fueron los cambios en la regulaci&#243;n de colegios e institutos, prohibiendo la presencia de tel&#233;fonos en las aulas. Respecto a las RR. SS., Australia ha sido el primer pa&#237;s en mover ficha prohibiendo el acceso a menores de 16 a&#241;os y, tras &#233;l, otros como Francia (15 a&#241;os) y ahora Espa&#241;a parecen seguir la misma l&#237;nea. Si dejamos a un lado el ruido que la polarizaci&#243;n pol&#237;tica puede crear, nos congratulamos de que se comiencen a ver intentos de cambiar una situaci&#243;n que empezaba a ser realmente preocupante.

SS. problemas de salud mental?</h3><p>Este es el punto que causa m&#225;s controversia. Parece evidente, a juzgar por los datos, que en los &#250;ltimos diez a&#241;os se registra una epidemia mundial de salud mental que afecta especialmente a los j&#243;venes. Numerosos expertos de &#225;mbitos como la psicolog&#237;a, la psiquiatr&#237;a o la sociolog&#237;a esgrimen que no hay una relaci&#243;n de causalidad entre el uso de las RR. SS. y estos problemas. En este punto cabe recordar que no es lo mismo causalidad que correlaci&#243;n: que ambos sucesos puedan estar relacionados no significa que uno sea el causante del otro.</p><p>Sin embargo, muchos otros investigadores opinan que la correlaci&#243;n entre ambos ya ser&#237;a, por s&#237; sola, un motivo para legislar sobre el asunto, especialmente dada la gravedad del problema. Otros inciden en un punto a tener en cuenta: no es lo mismo el uso que el abuso. Quiz&#225;s una utilizaci&#243;n razonable de las RR. SS. no tenga un impacto negativo, pero su dise&#241;o adictivo empuja a muchos adolescentes a usarlas de forma descontrolada, incidiendo negativamente en m&#250;ltiples aspectos de sus vidas.</p><h3>&#191;Se pueden poner puertas al campo de internet?</h3><p>Uno de los aspectos m&#225;s desconocidos para la mayor&#237;a de las familias es el impacto t&#233;cnico que el desarrollo de la ley puede tener. A priori, parece dif&#237;cil creer a las grandes tecnol&#243;gicas cuando afirman que no pueden determinar con certeza la edad de un usuario, especialmente si tenemos en cuenta los avanzados sistemas de IA que manejan para conocer hasta el m&#225;s &#237;ntimo de nuestros detalles. Sin embargo, la cuesti&#243;n no reside solo en la posibilidad de hacerlo, sino en hacerlo de forma segura, sin revelar nuestra identidad. La UE lleva tiempo trabajando en un &#8220;pasaporte digital&#8221; para facilitar este tipo de operaciones, aunque todav&#237;a faltan a&#241;os para que est&#233; disponible.</p><p>Otra cuesti&#243;n que se ha destacado mucho en aquellos pa&#237;ses que ya han aprobado leyes similares son los trucos t&#233;cnicos para evitar los bloqueos. El m&#225;s evidente es la utilizaci&#243;n de VPN. Esta tecnolog&#237;a permite simular que nos estamos conectando desde otro pa&#237;s en el que la restricci&#243;n de edad no funcione. Si bien es cierto que para cualquier medida que se apruebe existir&#225; alg&#250;n tipo de trampa, no lo es menos que no todo el mundo tiene el conocimiento t&#233;cnico para utilizarla. Por otra parte, desincentivar &#8212;aunque no suponga un triunfo absoluto en el corto plazo&#8212; siempre supone un avance a la larga cuando se trata de cambiar usos y costumbres.</p><h3>Y las compa&#241;&#237;as tecnol&#243;gicas, &#191;qu&#233;?</h3><p>Hay muchas voces que, acertadamente, se&#241;alan que la verdadera y definitiva soluci&#243;n ha de pasar por un redise&#241;o de este tipo de aplicaciones. Para todos son conocidas las t&#233;cnicas que las RR. SS. utilizan para vampirizar nuestra atenci&#243;n: <em>scroll</em> infinito, gratificaci&#243;n instant&#225;nea, validaci&#243;n social a trav&#233;s de los <em>likes</em>, notificaciones constantes&#8230; El algoritmo con el que trabajan arrastra a las personas, y con mayor fuerza a los adolescentes, a un efecto de &#8220;caja de resonancia&#8221; donde se llega a pensar que el mundo es, en realidad, lo que est&#225; ocurriendo en nuestro <em>timeline</em>.</p><p>Conocidas estas estrategias, no estar&#237;a de m&#225;s exigir a las compa&#241;&#237;as creadoras de las RR. SS. que dejen de hacer experimentos de ingenier&#237;a social con las mentes de nuestros j&#243;venes. Su modelo de beneficios basado en la publicidad ha de poder sobrevivir sin necesidad de convertir el cerebro en un <em>punching-ball</em> constantemente zarandeado por algoritmos que buscan sus treinta segundos de gloria a costa de polarizar, envenenar y destruir la autoestima mediante estrategias de comparaci&#243;n social.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;43d9f177-9ca0-494c-a277-0d66d41d88d0&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;La primera vez que prob&#233; ChatGPT lo que m&#225;s me llam&#243; la atenci&#243;n, como supongo que a todo el mundo, fue la sensaci&#243;n de humanidad que desprend&#237;a la conversaci&#243;n.

Pues, obviamente, hemos de llevar la voz cantante, ocurra lo que ocurra con la nueva ley. Nuestra es la responsabilidad m&#225;xima de todo lo que ha ocurrido hasta ahora, y as&#237; seguir&#225; siendo. M&#225;s all&#225; de lo malignas que puedan ser las RR. SS., est&#225; en nuestras manos educar a nuestros hijos en un uso responsable de cualquier tipo de tecnolog&#237;a. Advertirles de sus peligros, controlar su uso o proponer alternativas creativas son tareas que deber&#237;amos incorporar a nuestra rutina digital.</p><p>Por supuesto, la parte m&#225;s importante de la educaci&#243;n pasa por el ejemplo que demos. De nada sirve tratar de explicarles a los j&#243;venes todo lo da&#241;ino que tienen las RR. SS. si nos pasamos el d&#237;a con la nariz metida en Instagram. Uno de los motivos por los que la edad de utilizaci&#243;n ca&#237;a en picado es la incapacidad de padres y madres de prohibir a sus hijos algo que ellos mismos no perciben como peligroso. Pues bien, es hora de que nos tomemos las redes como lo que son: algo tan nocivo, adictivo y peligroso como el tabaco o el alcohol. &#191;Verdad que no dejar&#237;an a sus hijos fumar o beber a los 12 a&#241;os? Pues eso.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscr&#237;bete ahora&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?"><span>Suscr&#237;bete ahora</span></a></p><h3>Una &#250;ltima reflexi&#243;n</h3><p>Estoy leyendo a mucha gente opinar que la ley no va a conseguir el efecto deseado, que tiene complicaciones t&#233;cnicas de las que no se habla o que es una tapadera para desviar la atenci&#243;n sobre los problemas pol&#237;ticos del Gobierno. Este tipo de comentarios me parecen c&#237;nicos. &#191;Cu&#225;l es la alternativa? &#191;Negar que las RR.

Sometimes it looks like they are working in a call center, but what they are really doing is inhabiting their digital &#8220;third place.&#8221;</p><p>In sociology, the &#8220;third place&#8221; is that space that is neither home nor school (or work), but a social meeting point. For Gen Z, that place is called Discord.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscribirse&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;es&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

It is a platform designed to create communities (called &#8220;servers&#8221;) where you can chat by text, talk by voice, and stream video in real-time.</p><p>If WhatsApp is a tool for quick messages, Discord is an always-open digital living room. You don&#8217;t just enter to send a message; you enter to &#8220;be&#8221; with others.</p><div><hr></div><h3>Why is it teenagers&#8217; favorite tool?</h3><p>It&#8217;s not just because of video games. Discord has managed to understand young people&#8217;s needs better than Facebook or even Instagram. Here are its key advantages:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Privacy and Anonymity:</strong> Unlike WhatsApp, you don&#8217;t need to give out your phone number to talk to someone. You only require a username. This gives them a layer of privacy they value highly.</p></li><li><p><strong>Organization by Channels:</strong> Within a single server (the friend group), they can have separate channels for different topics: one for homework, one for music, one for the trendy game, and one for memes. Everything is tidy; it&#8217;s not a chaos of infinite messages.</p></li><li><p><strong>Superior Voice Quality:</strong> Its technology allows being on a voice call for hours without cuts and with very low resource consumption, which allows playing at the same time without the computer or mobile phone freezing.</p></li><li><p><strong>The &#8220;Bots&#8221;:</strong> Discord allows adding small automated programs (bots) that play music, launch polls, or automatically moderate group language.</p></li><li><p><strong>Sense of Belonging:</strong> Servers can range from a group of 5 school friends to massive communities. For example, the official Fortnite server in Spain has over 150,000 users, allowing kids with similar interests to meet and share tricks.</p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h3>Servers: The Heart of the Platform</h3><p>Everything on Discord happens in servers. Think of them as buildings where every room (channel) has a purpose.</p><ul><li><p><strong>Private Servers:</strong> The most common. Closed groups of friends where you can only enter by invitation.</p></li><li><p><strong>Public Servers:</strong> Large fan communities about specific topics (anime, programming, YouTubers). Some content creators offer access to exclusive servers via paid subscriptions, creating a circle of trust with their followers.</p></li><li><p><strong>Roles and Hierarchies:</strong> Admins can assign &#8220;roles&#8221; to users (e.g., &#8220;Moderator,&#8221; &#8220;Pro Player,&#8221; &#8220;Newbie&#8221;). This gives a social structure they love and helps them self-manage their own communities.</p></li></ul><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscribirse&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;es&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

During exams, it is common to see study servers where young people share screens to explain math problems to each other or review notes together. Discord bets on this integral community model, even integrating its own game store and streaming services.</p><p>It is such a powerful tool that, if you know how to use it, it becomes an unrivaled hub for productivity and leisure.</p><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/p/discord-much-more-than-your-kids?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Compartir&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

A veces parece que est&#225;n en una centralita de llamadas, pero lo que realmente est&#225;n haciendo es habitar su <strong>&#8220;tercer lugar&#8221; digital</strong>.</p><p>En sociolog&#237;a, el &#8220;tercer lugar&#8221; es ese espacio que no es ni el hogar ni la escuela (o el trabajo), sino un punto de encuentro social. Para la Generaci&#243;n Z, ese lugar se llama <strong>Discord</strong>.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscr&#237;bete ahora&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?"><span>Suscr&#237;bete ahora</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2>&#191;Qu&#233; es exactamente Discord?</h2><p>Aunque solemos compararlo con WhatsApp, Discord es en realidad una mezcla h&#237;brida entre <strong>Slack, Microsoft Teams y una sala de juegos</strong>. Es una plataforma dise&#241;ada para crear comunidades (llamadas &#8220;servidores&#8221;) donde se puede chatear por texto, hablar por voz y retransmitir v&#237;deo en tiempo real.</p><p>Si WhatsApp es una herramienta para mensajes r&#225;pidos, Discord es una <strong>sala de estar digital siempre abierta</strong>. No entras solo para enviar un mensaje; entras para &#8220;estar&#8221; con otros.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#191;Por qu&#233; es la herramienta favorita de los adolescentes?</h2><p>No es solo por los videojuegos. Discord ha sabido entender las necesidades de los j&#243;venes mejor que Facebook o incluso Instagram. Aqu&#237; te explico sus ventajas clave:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Privacidad y Anonimato:</strong> A diferencia de WhatsApp, no necesitas dar tu n&#250;mero de tel&#233;fono para hablar con alguien. Solo necesitas un nombre de usuario. Esto les da una capa de privacidad que valoran much&#237;simo.</p></li><li><p><strong>Organizaci&#243;n por Canales:</strong> Dentro de un mismo servidor (el grupo de amigos), pueden tener canales separados para diferentes temas: uno para deberes, otro para m&#250;sica, otro para el juego de moda y otro para memes. Todo est&#225; ordenado, no es un caos de mensajes infinitos.</p></li><li><p><strong>Calidad de Voz Superior:</strong> Su tecnolog&#237;a permite estar en una llamada de voz durante horas sin cortes y con un consumo de recursos muy bajo, lo que permite jugar a la vez sin que el ordenador o el m&#243;vil se bloqueen.</p></li><li><p><strong>Los &#8220;Bots&#8221;:</strong> Discord permite a&#241;adir peque&#241;os programas automatizados (bots) que ponen m&#250;sica, lanzan encuestas o moderan el lenguaje del grupo autom&#225;ticamente.</p></li><li><p><strong>Sentido de Pertenencia:</strong> Los servidores pueden ser desde un grupo de 5 amigos del colegio hasta comunidades masivas. Por ejemplo, el servidor oficial de <em>Fortnite</em> en Espa&#241;a supera los 150.000 usuarios, permitiendo que chavales con los mismos intereses se encuentren y compartan trucos.</p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h2>Servidores: El coraz&#243;n de la plataforma</h2><p>Todo en Discord ocurre en los <strong>servidores</strong>. Piensa en ellos como edificios donde cada habitaci&#243;n (canal) tiene un prop&#243;sito.</p><ul><li><p><strong>Servidores Privados:</strong> Son los m&#225;s comunes. Grupos cerrados de amigos donde solo se entra con invitaci&#243;n.</p></li><li><p><strong>Servidores P&#250;blicos:</strong> Grandes comunidades de fans sobre temas espec&#237;ficos (anime, programaci&#243;n, YouTubers). Algunos creadores de contenido ofrecen acceso a servidores exclusivos mediante suscripciones de pago, creando un c&#237;rculo de confianza con sus seguidores.</p></li><li><p><strong>Roles y Jerarqu&#237;as:</strong> Los administradores pueden asignar &#8220;roles&#8221; a los usuarios (por ejemplo: &#8220;Moderador&#8221;, &#8220;Jugador Pro&#8221;, &#8220;Novato&#8221;). Esto da una estructura social que les encanta y les ayuda a autogestionar sus propias comunidades.</p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h2>De los videojuegos al &#8220;Metaverso&#8221; de estudio</h2><p>Aunque naci&#243; para <em>gamers</em>, el uso de Discord ha explotado en otras &#225;reas. Durante los ex&#225;menes, es habitual ver servidores de estudio donde los j&#243;venes comparten pantalla para explicarse problemas de matem&#225;ticas o repasar apuntes juntos. Discord apuesta por este modelo de comunidad integral, integrando incluso su propia tienda de juegos y servicios de streaming.</p><p>Es una herramienta tan potente que, si sabes usarla, se convierte en un centro de productividad y ocio inigualable.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscr&#237;bete ahora&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?"><span>Suscr&#237;bete ahora</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2>Un consejo de Papitek para padres</h2><p>En lugar de ver Discord como una &#8220;caja negra&#8221; en la que tu hijo se encierra, te recomendamos que le pidas que te ense&#241;e c&#243;mo funciona su servidor. Es una oportunidad de oro para hablar sobre la seguridad en internet, la gesti&#243;n de la privacidad y el respeto en los grupos digitales.</p><p>Quiz&#225;s, despu&#233;s de probarlo, descubras que es la forma m&#225;s c&#243;moda de organizar las cenas familiares o compartir las fotos del &#250;ltimo viaje sin llenar la memoria de tu tel&#233;fono.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/p/discord-mucho-mas-que-el-whatsapp?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Compartir&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.papitek.com/p/discord-mucho-mas-que-el-whatsapp?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Compartir</span></a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[It’s Never Too Early (or Too Late) to Learn to Code: From Consumers to Creators]]></title><description><![CDATA[Discover why coding is the best "brain gymnastics" for your children and which tools to use based on their age.

It is very likely that my view on the importance of this discipline is shaped by the role it has played in my own career. I don&#8217;t deny it. But I honestly believe that <strong>coding is one of the most fascinating and empowering areas of knowledge</strong> a young person can be introduced to today.</p><p>For those who have never explored this world, programming is, in essence, the art of communicating directly with machines&#8212;from the computer you are using to read this to the robot vacuum roaming your living room. Knowing how to code means moving past instruction manuals and starting to write your own; it is <strong>speaking to technology on its own terms</strong> using its own language.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscr&#237;bete ahora&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?"><span>Suscr&#237;bete ahora</span></a></p><h3>The Myth of the &#8220;Digital Native&#8221; vs. the &#8220;Digital Creator&#8221;</h3><p>We live in a hyper-technological world, and we often fall into the trap of thinking that our children, simply because they were born with a tablet in their hands, have already mastered technology. In a previous article, we already discussed how being a &#8220;digital native&#8221; does not guarantee real technical skills.</p><p>The majority of young people are experts at <strong>consuming</strong>: watching videos on YouTube, scrolling through TikTok, or chatting. They are users of interfaces designed to be addictive and easy. Knowing how to code changes the rules of the game. <strong>It puts you on the other side of the screen.</strong> It gives you the key to understanding how things work from the inside and empowers you to extract the full potential a machine has to offer. It is the difference between knowing how to drive a car and knowing how the engine works so you can improve it.</p><h3>What Happens in a Child&#8217;s Brain When They Learn to Code?</h3><p>Learning code isn&#8217;t just about learning a strange syntax; it is a form of &#8220;brain gymnastics&#8221; that develops skills transferable to any walk of life:</p><ol><li><p><strong>Computational Thinking</strong> This is the star benefit. It is a mental process that allows us to tackle complex problems in a structured way. It is based on three pillars:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Abstraction:</strong> The ability to identify the essentials of a problem while ignoring irrelevant details.</p></li><li><p><strong>Decomposition:</strong> Learning to break a large problem (like &#8220;creating a video game&#8221;) into tiny, manageable sub-problems (like &#8220;making the character jump&#8221;).</p></li><li><p><strong>Pattern Recognition:</strong> Identifying solutions we have used before to apply them to new problems, thereby creating algorithms.</p></li></ul></li><li><p><strong>Resilience and Frustraton Management</strong> In the programming world, there is a mantra: <strong>code never works the first time.</strong> &#8220;Bugs&#8221; or errors are constant. Coding teaches children that failing is part of the learning process. It forces them to analyze their own mistakes, to be patient, and to persist until the program &#8220;runs.&#8221; It is a fundamental life lesson: <strong>an error is not a failure; it is a clue.</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Multidisciplinary Creativity</strong> Programming is often associated with &#8220;cold&#8221; mathematics, but it is an unparalleled creative tool. It is the <strong>blank canvas of the 21st century.</strong> A child can use code to compose generative music, create visual art, edit films, or design 3D worlds. It is the perfect bridge between the sciences and the arts.</p></li><li><p><strong>Math with Meaning</strong> Let&#8217;s be realistic: math can be dry at school. However, in programming, math is the language of magic. Children learn geometry to position an object on a coordinate axis, pure logic to create conditionals (&#8220;if this happens, do that&#8221;), and calculus to measure speeds in a game. Here, <strong>mathematics has an immediate and fun purpose.</strong></p></li></ol><div><hr></div><h3>The Roadmap by Age: When to Start?</h3><p>Coding is hard. We aren&#8217;t going to lie to ourselves or sell magic formulas. It requires consistent effort over years and constant updating because technology moves fast. However, the learning curve can be very rewarding if developmental stages are respected:</p><ul><li><p><strong>From 4 to 6 years old (&#8221;Offline&#8221; logical thinking):</strong> At this age, the goal is not for them to write code, but to understand sequential logic. We can use board games, LEGO blocks to create color sequences, or even challenges in the hallway at home where the child must &#8220;give instructions&#8221; to their parents to get to the kitchen.</p></li><li><p><strong>From 7 to 11 years old (Block-based programming):</strong> This is the golden age of tools like <strong>Scratch</strong>. By not having to write code (only dragging pieces), the barriers of spelling and syntax are removed, allowing them to focus 100% on the logic of the story or game they are creating.</p></li><li><p><strong>From 12 years old (Text languages):</strong> With a solid logical foundation, they can make the jump to real languages like <strong>Python or JavaScript</strong>, where complexity increases but so do the professional possibilities.</p></li></ul><h3>Recommended Resources to Start Today</h3><p>If you want your children to take their first steps, here is a selection of the best current educational ecosystems:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Scratch (from MIT):</strong> The cornerstone of modern teaching. It&#8217;s free, has a massive global community, and allows for the creation of interactive stories and games using colored blocks. It is intuitive, friendly, and very visual.</p></li><li><p><strong>Code.org:</strong> A non-profit organization seeking to democratize access to computer science. They offer the famous &#8220;Hour of Code,&#8221; with tutorials set in worlds kids love (Star Wars, Frozen, or Minecraft) to learn basic concepts in 60-minute sessions.</p></li><li><p><strong>LEGO Education (BOOST and Mindstorms):</strong> For those who prefer to touch things. With LEGO BOOST (from age 7), children build models with sensors and motors that they control from an app. Mindstorms is the advanced version, oriented toward competitive robotics and more complex projects.</p></li><li><p><strong>Minecraft Education Edition:</strong> Not just a game. This educational version allows teachers and parents to create worlds where children must solve programming, chemistry, or history challenges. It&#8217;s a real first step toward what many call the &#8220;metaverse.&#8221;</p></li><li><p><strong>Arduino:</strong> An open-source electronic board. It is ideal for teenagers who want to create their own physical inventions: room alarms, automatic irrigation systems, or weather stations. It is the gateway to engineering and electronics.</p></li><li><p><strong>Mobile Apps:</strong> For short moments on the tablet, I recommend <strong>Code Karts</strong> (driving logic for the little ones), <strong>Kodable</strong> (very structured for initial levels), or <strong>Lightbot</strong> (a pure logic puzzle that hooks even adults).</p></li></ul><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscr&#237;bete ahora&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?"><span>Suscr&#237;bete ahora</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3>Conclusion: A Challenge for Us Too</h3><p>As parents, our role isn&#8217;t necessarily to be expert programmers, but <strong>curious companions.</strong> Learning to code alongside our children can be an incredible bonding experience. It&#8217;s about fostering that spark of curiosity to understand how the machines around us work, rather than simply accepting them as &#8220;black magic.&#8221;</p><p>Perhaps, in the process of helping your little ones move a digital cat across the screen, you&#8217;ll get <strong>bitten by the bug</strong> too. It&#8217;s never too late to start speaking the language of the future.</p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/p/its-never-too-early-or-too-late-to?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Compartir&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.papitek.com/p/its-never-too-early-or-too-late-to?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Compartir</span></a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nunca es pronto (ni tarde) para aprender a programar: De consumidores a creadores]]></title><description><![CDATA[Descubre por qu&#233; la programaci&#243;n es la mejor "gimnasia cerebral" para tus hijos y qu&#233; herramientas usar seg&#250;n su edad.

Es muy probable que mi visi&#243;n sobre la importancia de esta disciplina est&#233; condicionada por el papel que ha jugado en mi propia trayectoria. No lo niego. Pero creo, honestamente, que la programaci&#243;n es una de las &#225;reas de conocimiento m&#225;s fascinantes y empoderadoras en las que se puede introducir a un joven hoy en d&#237;a.</p><p>Para quienes nunca se han acercado a este mundo, <strong>programar es, en esencia, el arte de comunicarse directamente con las m&#225;quinas.</strong> Desde el ordenador que usas para leer esto hasta el robot aspirador que recorre tu sal&#243;n. Saber programar es dejar de usar manuales de instrucciones para empezar a escribir las tuyas propias; es hablar de t&#250; a t&#250; a la tecnolog&#237;a utilizando su propio lenguaje.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscr&#237;bete ahora&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?"><span>Suscr&#237;bete ahora</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2>El mito del &#8220;Nativo Digital&#8221; vs. el &#8220;Creador Digital&#8221;</h2><p>Vivimos en un mundo hipertecnol&#243;gico, y a menudo caemos en el error de pensar que nuestros hijos, por el simple hecho de haber nacido con una tablet bajo el brazo, ya dominan la tecnolog&#237;a. En un art&#237;culo anterior ya comentamos que ser un <strong>&#8220;nativo digital&#8221;</strong> no garantiza tener habilidades t&#233;cnicas reales.</p><p>La mayor&#237;a de los j&#243;venes son expertos en <em>consumir</em>: ver v&#237;deos en YouTube, hacer scroll en TikTok o chatear. Son usuarios de interfaces dise&#241;adas para ser adictivas y f&#225;ciles. <strong>Saber programar cambia las reglas del juego.</strong> Te sit&#250;a al otro lado de la pantalla. Te da la llave para comprender c&#243;mo funcionan por dentro las cosas y te otorga el poder de extraer todo el potencial que una m&#225;quina puede ofrecer. Es la diferencia entre saber conducir un coche y saber c&#243;mo funciona el motor para poder mejorarlo.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#191;Qu&#233; ocurre en el cerebro de un ni&#241;o cuando aprende a programar?</h2><p>Aprender c&#243;digo no es solo aprender una sintaxis extra&#241;a; es una forma de &#8220;gimnasia cerebral&#8221; que desarrolla habilidades transferibles a cualquier &#225;mbito de la vida:</p><h3>1. El Pensamiento Computacional</h3><p>Es el beneficio estrella. Se trata de un proceso mental que nos permite abordar problemas complejos de forma estructurada. Se basa en tres pilares:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Abstracci&#243;n:</strong> Capacidad de identificar lo esencial de un problema ignorando los detalles irrelevantes.</p></li><li><p><strong>Descomposici&#243;n:</strong> Aprender a romper un gran problema (como &#8220;crear un videojuego&#8221;) en sub-problemas diminutos y manejables (como &#8220;hacer que el personaje salte&#8221;).</p></li><li><p><strong>Reconocimiento de patrones:</strong> Identificar soluciones que ya hemos usado antes para aplicarlas a problemas nuevos, creando as&#237; <strong>algoritmos</strong>.</p></li></ul><h3>2. La Resiliencia y la Gesti&#243;n de la Frustraci&#243;n</h3><p>En el mundo de la programaci&#243;n existe un mantra: <em>el c&#243;digo nunca funciona a la primera</em>. Los &#8220;bugs&#8221; o errores son constantes. Programar ense&#241;a a los ni&#241;os que fallar es parte del proceso de aprendizaje. Les obliga a analizar sus propios errores, a ser pacientes y a persistir hasta que el programa &#8220;corre&#8221;. Es una lecci&#243;n de vida fundamental: el error no es un fracaso, es una pista.</p><h3>3. La Creatividad Multidisciplinar</h3><p>A menudo se asocia la programaci&#243;n a las matem&#225;ticas &#8220;fr&#237;as&#8221;, pero es una herramienta creativa sin igual. Es el lienzo en blanco del siglo XXI. Un ni&#241;o puede usar el c&#243;digo para componer m&#250;sica generativa, crear arte visual, editar cine o dise&#241;ar mundos en 3D. Es el puente perfecto entre las ciencias y las artes.</p><h3>4. Matem&#225;ticas con sentido</h3><p>Seamos realistas: las matem&#225;ticas pueden ser &#225;ridas en el colegio. Sin embargo, en la programaci&#243;n, las matem&#225;ticas son el lenguaje de la magia. Los ni&#241;os aprenden geometr&#237;a para posicionar un objeto en un eje de coordenadas, l&#243;gica pura para crear condicionales (&#8221;si pasa esto, haz aquello&#8221;) y c&#225;lculo para medir velocidades en un juego. Aqu&#237;, las matem&#225;ticas tienen un prop&#243;sito inmediato y divertido.</p><div><hr></div><h2>El camino seg&#250;n la edad: &#191;Cu&#225;ndo empezar?</h2><p>Programar es dif&#237;cil. No vamos a enga&#241;arnos ni a vender f&#243;rmulas m&#225;gicas. Requiere un esfuerzo continuado de a&#241;os y una actualizaci&#243;n constante porque la tecnolog&#237;a vuela. Sin embargo, la curva de aprendizaje puede ser muy gratificante si se respetan las etapas del desarrollo:</p><ul><li><p><strong>De 4 a 6 a&#241;os (Pensamiento l&#243;gico &#8220;offline&#8221;):</strong> A esta edad, el objetivo no es que escriban c&#243;digo, sino que entiendan la l&#243;gica secuencial. Podemos usar juegos de mesa, bloques de LEGO para crear series de colores o incluso retos en el pasillo de casa donde el ni&#241;o debe &#8220;dar instrucciones&#8221; a sus padres para llegar a la cocina.</p></li><li><p><strong>De 7 a 11 a&#241;os (Programaci&#243;n por bloques):</strong> Es la edad de oro de herramientas como Scratch. Al no tener que escribir c&#243;digo (solo arrastrar piezas), se eliminan las barreras de la ortograf&#237;a y la sintaxis, permiti&#233;ndoles centrarse al 100% en la l&#243;gica de la historia o el juego que est&#225;n creando.</p></li><li><p><strong>A partir de los 12 a&#241;os (Lenguajes de texto):</strong> Con una base l&#243;gica s&#243;lida, pueden dar el salto a lenguajes reales como Python o JavaScript, donde la complejidad aumenta pero tambi&#233;n las posibilidades profesionales.</p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h2>Recursos recomendados para empezar hoy mismo</h2><p>Si quieres que tus hijos den sus primeros pasos, aqu&#237; tienes una selecci&#243;n de los mejores ecosistemas educativos actuales:</p><ul><li><p><strong><a href="https://scratch.mit.edu/">Scratch</a> (del MIT):</strong> Es la piedra angular de la ense&#241;anza moderna.

Deep down, we all know that AI is here to stay and that&#8212;hype aside&#8212;it is fundamentally changing how we access information. We can spend the next ten years fighting a technology that is reconfiguring aspects of our society, or we can start defining how to use it ethically and productively.</p><p>One of the greatest risks of using AI as a school support tool is offloading the entire burden onto it, with students contributing zero effort. It is vital that we remind students that the &#8220;heavy lifting&#8221; of cognitive development must remain with them. Large language models like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot are great for helping overcome <strong>&#8220;blank page syndrome&#8221;</strong> or assisting in final editing, but the core development must remain human.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscr&#237;bete ahora&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?"><span>Suscr&#237;bete ahora</span></a></p><p>Instead of asking ChatGPT to write a 10,000-word essay on the Industrial Revolution, it is better to ask it to suggest themes to cover if we are stuck, or to review a final draft for spelling and syntax to improve readability. We must train our way of thinking about the tools at our disposal so we don&#8217;t end up outsourcing our entire intellectual activity. We must narrow the scope of what we ask of them to maintain our identity and avoid becoming redundant.</p><p>One of the main issues with AI as an educational support technology is the famous <strong>&#8220;hallucinations.&#8221;</strong> Despite the mystical name, these are simply errors that are difficult to detect because of the high level of confidence language models display when constructing text. Wrong dates, non-existent references, mistaken names... The presence of hallucinations in a school assignment not only proves AI was used; it also indicates a low level of student engagement&#8212;they didn&#8217;t even stop to check the text.</p><p>Today, I&#8217;d like to introduce&#8212;for those <strong>&#8220;techie-moms and dads&#8221;</strong> who aren&#8217;t yet familiar with it&#8212;<strong>NotebookLM</strong>, a Google tool available for free (with certain limits). NotebookLM is a system that allows us to upload information in almost any format (text, video, audio, web pages) to a Google language model so that we can &#8220;work&#8221; the content however we choose. The possibility of hallucinations is virtually eliminated because NotebookLM will only answer questions based on the specific source material we have uploaded.</p><h3>This is what NotebookLM looks like</h3><p>Of course, it offers the same possibilities as ChatGPT or Gemini. If we upload a history book or a website about the Industrial Revolution, we <em>could</em> ask it to write that 10,000-word essay. However, the power of NotebookLM lies in the <strong>specific educational support tools</strong> it offers. We can create interactive mind maps, reports on specific topics of interest, explanatory infographics, or even slides for presentations. It allows us to generate an audio podcast where two people discuss the topic, and even create 5-to-10-minute educational videos where we can decide the talking points and the visual style.</p><p>Is creating a mind map from scratch the same for our learning as using one provided for us? Clearly not. The effort of understanding a text, extracting the main concepts, and linking them together helps create <strong>meaningful learning experiences</strong>. On the other hand, using content created by NotebookLM can be seen as a shortcut, but we aren&#8217;t delegating the entire job; we are leaning on the tool to facilitate our comprehension of the topic. A large part of the final result must still depend on us&#8212;on giving meaning to all the information we&#8217;ve gathered through the tool.</p><p>The potential of this Google tool to generate different educational formats makes it a powerful study ally. A process of <strong>source verification</strong> must still exist, since we work with the material we choose to upload. We are able to reorganize information to easily address issues related to diversity and personalized learning. It builds an immersive teaching process from a single source of information, including all kinds of interactivity.</p><p>These are the types of advancements that, despite still having cons, represent a very significant shift in how we study. My own study process now includes a compilation of information sources I consider reliable, and from those, I build materials that help me dive deeper into a subject with both theoretical and practical content.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscr&#237;bete ahora&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?"><span>Suscr&#237;bete ahora</span></a></p><p><strong>The role of the teacher is changing.</strong> On one hand, they must guide students toward reliable sources and ensure they access them. From there, their task is to accompany students through more practical matters, where face-to-face interaction is much more valuable.</p><p>Most importantly, we have the opportunity to explain to young people why the option that might seem fastest and most efficient&#8212;surrendering ourselves completely to AI&#8212;is not necessarily the best idea in the long run. And we can have this debate not from a place of prohibition, but by offering alternatives that value AI while using it in a much more conscious way.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/p/how-to-stop-ai-from-doing-your-kids?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Compartir&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.papitek.com/p/how-to-stop-ai-from-doing-your-kids?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Compartir</span></a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cómo evitar que la IA haga los deberes por tus hijos (y que les ayude a aprender)]]></title><description><![CDATA[NotebookLM es la herramienta de Google que cambia las reglas del estudio.

Hemos de entrenar nuestra manera de pensar sobre las herramientas de las que disponemos para no acabar delegando toda nuestra actividad intelectual. Hemos de acotar lo que les pedimos para mantener nuestra identidad y no resultar superfluos.</p><p>Uno de los problemas que presenta la IA como tecnolog&#237;a de apoyo educativo son las famosas &#171;alucinaciones&#187;. Por mucho que le pongan un nombre tan m&#237;stico, no dejan de ser errores que resultan dif&#237;ciles de detectar debido al nivel de aseveraci&#243;n que muestran los modelos de lenguaje cuando construyen texto. Fechas err&#243;neas, referencias inexistentes, nombres equivocados&#8230; La presencia de alucinaciones en un trabajo no solo muestra que se ha utilizado IA en su desarrollo, sino que tambi&#233;n indica un bajo nivel de implicaci&#243;n del alumno, que ni siquiera se par&#243; a revisar el texto.</p><p>Hoy me gustar&#237;a introducir, para aquellos &#171;papis y mamiteks&#187; que no lo conozcan, <strong><a href="https://notebooklm.google.com/">NotebookLM</a></strong>, una herramienta de Google que se encuentra disponible de forma gratuita (con limitaciones).

Nos permite generar un p&#243;dcast de audio donde dos personas dialogan sobre el tema a tratar e incluso crear v&#237;deos did&#225;cticos de 5 a 10 minutos donde podemos decidir de qu&#233; se habla y el estilo gr&#225;fico del v&#237;deo.</p><p>&#191;Supone lo mismo para nuestro aprendizaje crear un mapa mental desde cero que utilizar uno que nos han proporcionado? Es evidente que no. El esfuerzo de entender el texto, extraer los conceptos principales y relacionarlos entre ellos ayuda a crear experiencias de aprendizaje significativo. Por otra parte, utilizar el contenido creado por NotebookLM puede tomarse como un atajo, pero no estamos delegando todo el trabajo, sino que nos apoyamos en la herramienta para facilitar nuestra comprensi&#243;n del tema. Gran parte del resultado final ha de seguir dependiendo de nosotros, de dotar de sentido a toda la informaci&#243;n que hemos conseguido a trav&#233;s de NotebookLM.</p><p>Las posibilidades de la herramienta de Google para generar distintos formatos de contenido educativo son un poderoso aliado para el estudio. Ha de existir un proceso de verificaci&#243;n de fuentes, puesto que trabajamos con el material que nosotros decidamos subir. Conseguimos reorganizar la informaci&#243;n para atender f&#225;cilmente cuestiones relacionadas con la diversidad y la personalizaci&#243;n de la ense&#241;anza. Se construye un proceso de ense&#241;anza inmersivo a partir de una sola fuente de informaci&#243;n, incluyendo todo tipo de interactividad.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscribirse&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;es&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Gracias por leer Papitek.

Mi proceso de estudio incluye ahora una recopilaci&#243;n de fuentes de informaci&#243;n que considero fiables, y a partir de ellas construyo materiales que me ayudan a profundizar en un tema con contenidos tanto te&#243;ricos como pr&#225;cticos. El rol del profesor cambia. Por un lado, ha de guiar a sus estudiantes hasta fuentes de informaci&#243;n fiables y conseguir que accedan a ellas.

What caught my attention about the story is that the boys <strong>&#8220;asked for their Insta and their Roblox.&#8221;</strong> I knew that Instagram had been acting as a sort of digital identity for years. Sharing it meant giving access to your online world.

If a teenager asks for it so casually, it means it has become a standard. For those who don&#8217;t know it, Roblox is a platform with a Minecraft-like aesthetic where users can create video games that also act as meeting spaces between avatars. Roblox is played daily by more than 150 million people, <strong>40% of them under the age of 13.</strong></p><p><strong>Roblox has become a risk for the online safety of minors.</strong> It has filled up with extreme content open to everyone and has become an anonymous meeting point between adults and minors without any type of control. A few weeks ago, they announced <strong>facial recognition</strong> to detect the age of users and only grant communication permissions to users of similar ages. It is an attempt to dodge the tip of the iceberg, which are the cases of online pedophilia, but the design of the tool&#8212;fighting for attention without taking into account the user&#8217;s well-being&#8212;already poses a threat to such young ages.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

social communications on the internet. Chats like <strong>ICQ or IRC</strong> are part of my digital adolescence, and they were a first contact with that strange sensation of being part of a forum where you are only what YOU say you are. Then came social networks like MySpace, Facebook, or Instagram, and constructing your digital identity started to get complicated and required almost as much time as we dedicate to our offline lives.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscribirse&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;es&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Subscribe to Papitek in English</p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Escribe tu correo electr&#243;nico..." tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Suscribirse"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><p>Each of those digital spaces has had its rules, its risks, and its entertainments. It is difficult as a father or mother to think that you are going to have to immerse yourself in all of them until your children are capable of discerning the correct uses. Personally, social networks of any kind cause me more and more trouble. However, it is useful to get informed about our children&#8217;s main communication channels. Above all, with the goal of keeping them informed on the best way to <strong>make the most of them.</strong></p><p>There is such a quantity of alternatives with which to build your digital identity that it is not necessary to do so through potentially toxic platforms. You can even survive being an adolescent and <strong>not having Instagram.</strong> Cases occur, however rare they may be, and from what is known, they are in a perfect state of social health. However impossible that might seem to a 14-year-old today.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/p/roblox-and-digital-identities?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Compartir&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.papitek.com/p/roblox-and-digital-identities?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Compartir</span></a></p><div><hr></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Roblox y las Identidades Digitales]]></title><description><![CDATA[Del "p&#225;same tu Insta" al "dame tu Roblox": c&#243;mo la identidad digital de los adolescentes se traslada a plataformas de juego que escapan al control parental y los riesgos que esto conlleva.]]></description><link>https://www.papitek.com/p/roblox-y-las-identidades-digitales</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.papitek.com/p/roblox-y-las-identidades-digitales</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Papitek]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 19 Dec 2025 21:44:36 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7a4db0f8-daaf-414c-83e9-c7382826688b_1344x768.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hace unos d&#237;as, la hija de unos vecinos, adolescente de 14 a&#241;os, me comentaba que mientras estaba en la calle bailando y grabando unos TikTok con una amiga, unos chicos se acercaron a hablar con ellas.

Los chats como el <a href="https://es.wired.com/articulos/icq-chat-que-hizo-historia-en-los-noventa-cierra-definitivamente">ICQ</a> o el <a href="https://www.genbeta.com/a-fondo/que-fue-irc-irc-hispano-mensajeria-que-nos-engancho-21-anos-whatsapp">IRC</a> forman parte de mi adolescencia digital, y fueron un primer contacto con esa extra&#241;a sensaci&#243;n de formar parte de un foro donde solo eres lo que T&#218; dices que eres.

Personalmente, las redes sociales de cualquier tipo cada vez me producen m&#225;s problemas. Sin embargo, conviene informarse sobre los principales canales de comunicaci&#243;n de nuestros hijos. Sobre todo con el fin de mantenerles informados sobre la mejor manera de sacarles partido.</p><p>Existe tal cantidad de alternativas con las que construir tu identidad digital, que no es necesario hacerlo a trav&#233;s de plataformas potencialmente t&#243;xicas.

If until then we were immersed in a dynamic that marked the adoption of mobile devices at increasingly younger ages, something changed that year. It is difficult to know what combination of factors influenced this change of mentality, but the truth is that what seemed inevitable became something to fight against.</p><p>Perhaps it was the accumulation of negative news about social media practices designed to exploit our attention. Or perhaps, after nearly ten years of indiscriminate use of smart mobile devices, we began to perceive the impact they were having on our lives. To what extent they were modifying our habits, and not always in a way that was pleasant for us.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscribirse&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;es&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">If you want to read more information about technology and parenting, subscribe to Papitek in English</p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Escribe tu correo electr&#243;nico..." tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Suscribirse"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><p>The truth is that the publication of <em><a href="https://www.anxiousgeneration.com/">The Anxious Generation</a></em>, an exhaustive analysis by social psychologist Jonathan Haidt on the impacts of screens on the mental health of children and adolescents, provided a theoretical corpus to what was beginning to be a silent outcry: young people are suffering a global mental health epidemic that is directly related to the use of mobile devices and social networks.</p><p>In his book, Haidt deploys an arsenal of data and reflections showing how, since 2016, we have moved from a childhood mediated by play to one mediated by screens. This shift has resulted in a generation that is overprotected in the physical world, yet abandoned to their fate on the internet without any control over the multiple actors that threaten their mental health in various ways (cyberbullying, sleep problems, lack of self-esteem...).</p><p>As a result of this change in mindset, many families are beginning to organize to put the brakes on social dynamics that dictate an increasingly early use of screens. It seemed like a divine mandate: having to give our children a mobile phone when they started secondary school, at twelve years old. The age of access to social media had spiraled out of control, and we found children under ten using TikTok without any supervision. Putting a stop to these practices meant condemning the kids to social ostracism.</p><p>However, there is strength in numbers, and groups of mothers and fathers concerned about this issue are beginning to realize that, collectively, the isolation is cushioned. If everyone rows in the same direction, it is easier to impose healthy practices in young people&#8217;s relationship with technology. Delaying the age of handing over the first smartphone with internet and social media access has positive consequences in all aspects of life (psychological, academic, and social). With will, a little effort, and pacts between families, all of this is possible.</p><p>In Spain, the response has been particularly vigorous, organized, and adapted to the local cultural reality. The movement &#8220;Adolescencia Libre de M&#243;viles&#8221; (ALM - Mobile-Free Adolescence) and its regional variants, such as the <em>Asociaci&#243;n Adolescencia Libre de M&#243;viles de Madrid</em> (ALMMA) or family groups in Barcelona, have structured a community response based on the &#8220;Family Pact&#8221; tool. The sociological premise driving this strategy is clear: an individual parent who denies a mobile phone to their child condemns them to social ostracism and isolation; but if the entire class group, or a significant majority, agrees not to hand one over, the social pressure disappears, and the norm changes radically.</p><p>For families seeking to materialize this disconnection, the device market in 2025 has evolved significantly. It is no longer limited to old phones rescued from oblivion; a new category of devices designed intentionally for digital minimalism has emerged. However, in the European and Spanish context, there is a critical barrier that defines the viability of any device: <strong>WhatsApp</strong>.</p><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/p/not-so-smart-phones-please?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Compartir&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

The following analysis classifies the devices available in 2025 according to their ability to manage this reality, dividing them into categories ranging from minimalist purism to hybrid pragmatism.</p><h3>Category A: Premium Minimalism (Design, Ethics, and Radical Disconnection)</h3><p>These devices represent the vanguard of ethical design. They are created from scratch to offer a calm user experience, without the interruptions of the attention economy. They are ideal for families seeking total disconnection from social media and who are willing to assume the cost (economic and social) of not having WhatsApp integrated into the mobile device.</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.thelightphone.com/lightiii">Light Phone III</a>:</strong> The Light Phone III positions itself as the definitive evolution of technological minimalism. Unlike its predecessor, which used a small e-ink screen, this model incorporates a matte black-and-white AMOLED screen, designed to be legible but not stimulating. Its most notable feature is the inclusion of cameras, but under a unique philosophy: inspired by analog &#8220;point and shoot&#8221; cameras, they have a dedicated two-step shutter button and central focus, eliminating the immediacy of review and editing that fosters obsession with image.</p><p><strong><a href="https://dumbwireless.com/products/mudita-kompakt">Mudita Kompakt</a>:</strong> Designed in Poland, the Mudita Kompakt is a European answer to the disconnection dilemma. It is an E-Ink device that prioritizes privacy and mental calm over immediacy. It runs MuditaOS K, an operating system based on Android but totally &#8220;de-googled&#8221; and closed, designed to protect user data and avoid distractions.</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.punkt.ch/products/mp02-4g-minimalist-phone">Punkt MP02</a> (New Generation):</strong> The Punkt MP02, designed by Jasper Morrison, is an icon of Swiss industrial design. It focuses exclusively on voice and text, with an added layer of security. A minimalist voice phone with physical keys. It uses Pigeon, an implementation of the Signal protocol, to offer encrypted messaging and secure voice calls over data.</p><h3>Category B: The &#8220;European Compromise&#8221; (Classic Phones with WhatsApp)</h3><p>This category represents the most pragmatic and viable solution for the majority of families in Spain. These are devices with a classic form factor (flip or bar type) that execute modified or simplified versions of Android. This allows for the installation and use of WhatsApp, but the user experience for browsing the internet or using social networks is so uncomfortable and limited that the teenager gives up doing so out of sheer friction.</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.ttfone.com/">TTFone TT970</a>:</strong> A flip phone with large keys, originally designed for the senior market but massively adopted by the minimalist movement for its functionality. It runs a simplified version of Android 8.1. WhatsApp comes pre-installed and is fully functional, supporting voice calls and video calls. A crucial advantage is that it allows linking WhatsApp Web, making it easier for the teenager to manage long conversations from a computer, reducing time with the phone in hand.</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.emporiamobile.com/en-de/products/touchsmart-3">Emporia TOUCHsmart.3</a>:</strong> A robust Austrian design, also a flip phone, focused on simplicity and durability. It runs Android Go Edition, optimized for basic hardware. It features a dedicated physical button for WhatsApp, which facilitates direct access to communication without having to navigate menus, reinforcing its use as a communication tool and not for entertainment. Like the TTFone, its closed form factor and the combination of a small touch screen with a physical keyboard actively disincentivize &#8220;doomscrolling.&#8221;</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.spc.es/products/spc-zeus-4g-pro">SPC Zeus 4G Pro</a> (The Local Spanish Option):</strong> A phone from the Spanish brand SPC, designed for the senior segment but adaptable. From the factory, it comes with a &#8220;Senior Mode&#8221; with giant icons that might be stigmatizing for a teenager. However, being Android, this mode can be deactivated. It is recommended to install a minimalist &#8220;launcher&#8221; (such as Niagara Launcher or Before Launcher) to transform the interface into a clean, modern text list, keeping WhatsApp and Spotify accessible but hiding distractions. It is fully compatible with Google Family Link, allowing parents to manage usage time and installations remotely.</p><h3>Category C: &#8220;Lobotomized&#8221; Smartphones (Advanced Hybrids)</h3><p>This category is for families looking to keep all modern tools (Spotify, Maps, Banking, WhatsApp, Notes) in a format that doesn&#8217;t look &#8220;grandpa-ish&#8221; or old, yet doesn't create the potential for addiction.</p><p><strong><a href="http://qinphone.com">Qin F21 Pro / F22 Pro</a>:</strong> Popularly known as &#8220;Xiaomi Qin&#8221; (a brand from the Duoqin ecosystem), these devices have the aesthetic of a classic bar phone (F21) or flip phone (F22) but hide a powerful Android smartphone inside. Their aesthetic is excellent (matte white, clean industrial design) and very attractive to young people. They run WhatsApp, Spotify, and Google Maps smoothly and quickly. They require a certain level of technical knowledge. Many imported versions come with Chinese software and without Google services. It is strongly recommended to buy versions modified for the European market (through specialized stores like Dumbwireless or Dumbdroid).</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.unihertz.com/es-es/products/jelly-star">Unihertz Jelly Star</a>:</strong> The world&#8217;s smallest Android 13 smartphone, with a screen of only 3 inches. It is a full smartphone without software restrictions. The &#8220;disconnection&#8221; is achieved through physical friction: its tiny size makes consuming visual content (TikTok, YouTube, Netflix) physically uncomfortable and unsatisfying after a few minutes. Decent camera, NFC for mobile payments, full app support. Its transparent, &#8220;techy&#8221; design with rear LED lights makes it visually attractive and modern for teenagers.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.papitek.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Suscribirse&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;es&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">If you want to read more information about technology and parenting, subscribe to Papitek in English</p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Escribe tu correo electr&#243;nico..." tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Suscribirse"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><p>These are some of the most popular options for all those who want to take the step of seeking digital well-being for their children and are looking for the right technology to do so with the least impact. Remember that there are many alternatives to avoid social isolation while simultaneously enjoying the benefits that a disconnected youth provides them.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humanoides Asociados v1.2]]></title><description><![CDATA[Escucha ahora (92 minutos) | Bienvenidos a Humanoides Asociadoes, el programa de tecnolog&#237;a que jam&#225;s te recomendar&#225; Jeff Bezos En &#171;El Update&#187; de esta semana hemos comentado la reciente publicaci&#243;n de los resultados econ&#243;micos de NVidia y la supuesta &#171;econom&#237;a circular&#187; en la que ...]]></description><link>https://www.papitek.com/p/humanoides-asociados-v12-aa0</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.papitek.com/p/humanoides-asociados-v12-aa0</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Papitek]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 29 Nov 2025 22:18:37 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/180444362/0863f826376c3a094c63baac636f3ce5.mp3" length="0" type="audio/mpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Bienvenidos a Humanoides Asociadoes, el programa de tecnolog&#237;a que jam&#225;s te recomendar&#225; Jeff Bezos</strong></p><p><strong>En &#171;El Update&#187; de esta semana hemos comentado la reciente publicaci&#243;n de los resultados econ&#243;micos de NVidia y la supuesta &#171;econom&#237;a circular&#187; en la que se encuentran inmersas las grandes empresas de IA, anunciando una burbuja como ya se han visto varias.</strong></p><p><strong><a href="https://elpais.com/economia/2025-11-19/nvidia-gana-un-59-mas-en-el-trimestre-al-calor-de-la-fiebre-de-la-ia.html">https://elpais.com/economia/2025-11-19/nvidia-gana-un-59-mas-en-el-trimestre-al-calor-de-la-fiebre-de-la-ia.html</a></strong></p><p><strong>En &#171;El Repositorio&#187;, Alex &#171;Cylon&#187; y Oscar &#171;Kryten&#187; nos dan una lecci&#243;n sobre Linux, la madre de todos los software Open Source.
