LUCÍA CONEJO MARTÍN

Over the years, Puerta de Sol has changed its appearance, but the buildings remain the same. Currently, we can see that there are no vehicles circulating and that we can only see people walking. In the center the statue of Charles III on horseback stands out.

In view of the photo, different buildings could be seen and the clock on the Puerta de Sol stood out, from where today the entrance of the new year is also celebrated every year. It is seen that trams circulated, a means of public transport at the time, similar to the current subway, but on the surface. In the center, it appeared as a station where trams stopped.

SAN BUENAVENTURA SCHOOL

Today's cars have advanced safety systems, safety brakes, traction control, downhill assist, and backup cameras. These systems help prevent accidents. They operate using internal combustion engines, although there are more and more hybrid and electric cars.

The first car in history was built in 1885: the Benz 1 tricycle, with an engine invented by Carl Benz, founder of Benz & Cie. a three-wheeled vehicle. It was a three-wheeled vehicle controlled by levers, a steel tube chassis and solid rubber wheels. It had a single gear, and the power was transmitted from the engine to the wheels using a belt.

Graham Bell patented the telephone and just three days later he made the first call. It could transmit acoustic signals at a distance by means of electrical signals. It consisted of a transmitter, a receiver and a single connection cable. Both the emitter and the receiver were made up of a flexible metal diaphragm and a horseshoe-shaped magnet inside a coil.

In the 1966-1967 school year, the "San Buenaventura" School began to operate. The center was located in the Batán neighborhood. It received its name in honor of San Buenaventura, an Italian saint from the 12th century. It began as a school only for boys. The first four pavilions and the house where the friars lived were built.

Currently, the San Buenaventura school provides education from kindergarten to high school. It is a mixed school, where boys and girls study from 3 years old to 18 years old. In these years, new buildings and ditches have been added with: 6 pavilions with different classrooms, a reception and office area and another where the friars live. The center also has a school cafeteria.

Current telephones, called mobile phones, because we can talk while we move, are like small computers with: processor. Operations, screen, batteries, camera, GPS,… Very nice designs. Today's mobile phones work by sending signals (and receiving signals) to cell towers (base stations) using RF waves.
