Growing up alongside the internet, I watched memes evolve from inside jokes to worldwide cultural phenomena. I saw online movements challenge political systems, create social change, and give a voice to people who were once invisible. It’s incredible to realize that something as simple as a viral image or a hashtag can spark real-world action across continents. These aren’t just funny cat pictures (though I do love those too) — they’re reflections of who we are, what we value, and how we connect.

But I’m not here to pretend the internet is perfect. As much as I admire its power, I’m also deeply concerned about the dark side of the web. Disinformation spreads faster than truth. Algorithms feed us what we already believe, locking us inside echo chambers that can make understanding one another harder than ever. I’ve seen friends and strangers alike fall into cycles of addiction to endless scrolling, constantly chasing likes, retweets, and fleeting validation. I believe we need to think critically about the internet, not just use it.

Another piece of this puzzle that I care about deeply is the global digital divide. It’s easy to forget, sitting in a coffee shop with Wi-Fi on every device, that millions of people still live without reliable internet access. Some communities remain disconnected not just technologically, but economically and socially. Access to information today can mean the difference between opportunity and isolation, between empowerment and being left behind. I want to shine a light on these inequalities, because the promise of the internet should belong to everyone — not just a privileged few.

And finally, there’s social media — the big, complicated beast that touches almost every part of our lives now. I often ask myself: How is social media changing the way we think? It’s a question without simple answers. We’re more connected than ever, yet somehow lonelier. We have access to more information, yet sometimes seem more confused. We celebrate individuality, yet still chase trends and curated versions of ourselves. Through Pensar la Web, I want to explore these contradictions, not by preaching from a soapbox, but by thinking through them together.

At its core, this site is not about taking sides or selling you easy answers. It’s about curiosity. It’s about reflection. It’s about asking better questions — about the memes we share, the movements we support, the apps we download, and the screens we stare into.

Pensar la Web is my space — and hopefully yours too — to pause, think, and maybe see the internet in a new light.

Thanks for being here. I can’t wait to explore these ideas with you.
