I'm the Eugene of technology xD

Well, I might tell you I like technology and I have mp3 player, laptop, smartphone, etc. However, I don’t have the last updates U_u because I’m poor and I can’t afford technology yet. LoL
I remember when I bought my first gadget by myself with my own money in 2009. It was a netbook, and I think I was one of the few who had a netbook that year. My netbook, acer brand, aspire one model, was too small, portable, suitable, blue, xD the only problem, it had Linpus Linux instead of windows as an OS. It was a nice OS, but limited. I could connect everywhere, but someday it started with problems, so, I installed windows xp. My netbook didn’t endure it and after failing and failing I decided to sell it and buy another one, therefore I bought a notebook. I think I don’t have much luck with technology, when I get a gadget, generally they have problems xD if it isn’t the battery, it's the OS, or it has a scratch I didn’t notice when I bought it. Nowadays, I live with my android, my Samsung galaxy young, but guess what? I have to send it to the technical service because it has problems with Wi-Fi. xD Did you see Hey Arnold?, well, I’m like the character Eugene with bad luck, but my case is with technology.

Daedalus and Icarus

When I was in high school, around 15 years old, me and my mates went to a walking civic tour by Santiago. We started in Parque Forestal and finished in Palacio de la Moneda. In the middle, we visited the Museo de Bellas Artes and a statue in the entrance called my attention, it was a statue about Daedalus and Icarus. So I decided to find out more about this Greek myth and the story says that Daedalus and Icarus were prisoners in a maze by The King of Crete, Minos. Afterwards, Daedalus and Icarus could scape from the maze created by Daedalus. However, they couldn’t leave the island because the king watched over the earth and the sea. Therefore, Daedalus decided to make a pair of wings manufactured with wax and feathers. Later, Daedalus told Icarus that he shouldn’t fly so high, because the heat of the sun would melt the wax. Icarus forgot this warning and flew high and high until his wings melted off. Icarus fell into the sea and died. Daedalus cried for his child and in his memory named Icaria the land near the place where Icarus passed away.
