Esperamos que este evento, además de divulgar las contribuciones científicas y artísticas de México y Canadá contribuyan al desarrollo de México en el nuevo milenio- y que esta serie de eventos sean un punto de encuentro para reflexionar el futuro en esta área en nuestro país. Sin más por ahora, esperamos despertar su interés para nuestro siguiente evento en Noviembre de 2009 en Toronto Ontario.

You've tried to enter your password on the microwave. 2. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three. 3. You call your son's beeper to let him know it's time to eat. He e- mails you back from his bedroom "What's for dinner?" 4. Your daughter sells Girl Scout Cookies via her web site. 5. You chat several times a day with a stranger from South Africa, but you haven't spoken with your next door neighbour yet this year. 6. You check the ingredients on a can of chicken noodle soup to see if it contains Echinacea. 7. Your grandmother asks you to send her a JPEG file of your newborn so she can create a screen saver. 8. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home. 10. Every commercial on television has a website address at the bottom of the screen. 11. You buy a computer and 6 months later it is out of date and now sells for half the price you paid. 12. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 years of your life, is cause for panic and turning around to go get it. 13. Using real money, instead of credit or debit, to make a purchase would be a hassle and take planning. 14. Cleaning up the dining room means getting the fast food bags out of the back seat of your car. 15. Your reason for not staying in touch with family is that they do not have email addresses. 16. You consider second-day air delivery painfully slow. 17. Your dining room table is now your flat filing cabinet. 18. Your idea of being organized is multiple-colored Post-it notes. 19. You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in person. 20. You get an extra phone line so you can get phone calls. 21. You disconnect from the Internet and get this awful feeling, as if you just pulled the plug on a loved one. 22. You get up in morning and go online before getting your coffee. 23. You wake up at 2 am to go to the bathroom and check your e-mail on your way back to bed. 24. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : ) ...but the real clinchers are... 25. You read this entire list, and kept nodding and smiling.. 26. As you read this list, you think about forwarding it to your “friends”. 27. You got this e-mail from a friend that never talks to you anymore, except to send you jokes from the net. 28. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 29. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn’t a #9. ¿Hablas Inglés? MODULO BÁSICO Tres brujas miran tres relojes Swatch. ¿Cuál bruja mira cual reloj?
