Raul Cuero Notes/Reaction

     Raul Cuero was born in Colombia from a family of 7. He grew up with hardly anything. However, through all his struggles he was able to become a pronounced microbiologist. Some of the things he mentioned throughout the film were considered controversial. For example, he talks about creativity and relating it with technology. He mentions that technology is the cause of the lack of creativity around the world. However, I can disagree with this. For me, I believe that it really depends on the person if technology hinders there creativity. I believe that today we are in the “in-between stage” of technology. Some people are used to creativity on paper with a pencil, however, there are children today who have grown up with technology. Some may be used to using technology as their creative outlook, some may not. Personally, I do spend too much time on technology for school which leaves me with no time to be able to relax and create. I do miss those times and try to grab those moments at any time I can. I will definitely try harder this semester to sit back and relax more to think more creatively than I have been.
     Another thing he mentions is about education today. He believes there is a lack of parental involvement that hinders a child’s education. I have always had both my parents in my life. However, my dad was and still is working a lot and I would not seem him a lot. Even though my dad was more absent than my mother, I do not think I had any shortage of an education because of it. Any moment I spent with my parents was a learning experience, even to this day.
