The problem is that I have never exactly liked the idea of burying for myself! For instance, my grandma's ashes were spread in a mountain of her natal city (Granada, I might have moor's blood in me!), so I have always liked that idea, more than the typical tomb in a cemetery. But if I don't bury myself I won't help my colleagues when they are doing their job, so it's tricky! Anyway, I won't help them either because I am so going to joke with their minds! ;)
Oh my god, this is really embarrassing! I must have heard it for uninformed people or in comparisition to other countries (we tend to do that, the whole 'omg we're better because we did X before Y, W and Z', but they omit other data). Reading this, I'm punching myself for forgetting about some Sweden women voting in the 18th century!! I wrote that in my Fucking Modern Paper last year! But yeah, the universal suffrage for women (and in general) came with the Second Republic and lasted until the Civil War; the next time all women could vote was in 1978 with the Constitution. Thanks for the correction!
Yeah, I bet as well for the Internet Age. One of my teachers made us reflect about what would survive if the class collapsed at the exact moment and after some centuries, and we came to the conclusion than the only stuff we would have in common would be phones, laptops and... pens! (especially BIC, almost everybody has at least one BIC); obviously, if they compared us to other people of other sites, I bet the most common objects would be phones and laptops (so they could classify us as a subculture or infer we were from a different social class or something). I remember when I was a child in the 90's and the computers started to be more common, it was like a revolution to us! Everytime some child at class (well, their parents) got a computer was like a sign of social ascense. Nowadays though it's the most common thing in the world and that makes me reflect how the human kind will change because of it.
