Human beings have 8 intelligences: linguistic-verbal, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily, kinaesthetic, intrapersonal, interpersonal and naturalistic. However, the digital world is becoming an integral part of our lives and so, our brain develops capacities to adapt to the new digital environment. Thus, we develop the Ninth Intelligence, which is no other than the digital one. 

ICT, Information and Communication Technologies, are the set of tools related to the transmission, processing and digitalized storage of information. 

A new academic year will soon be beginning, the pre-enrolment phase for the master's degree courses has already been opened.  These master’s degrees are organized by the BISITE Research Group at the University of Salamanca.There is a broad training offer for the academic year 2021-2022.

In 1874, several weather information devices were installed on Mont Blanc to collect data and transmit it via a radio link. Even earlier, in 1830, telegraphs were used to communicate with one another. Arguably, it was the first step towards the beginning of the Internet of Things. Then, in 1999 the concept of IoT was coined by Kevin Ashton, a pioneer in the work of radio frequency identification.

More than a century has passed since the premiere of "Fantasmagorie", the first animated film created with the drawings of the French cartoonist Émile Cohl. Technological advances have played in favour of this industry, which has been in constant evolution and has allowed us to enjoy excellent computer animated productions: this is what is known as digital animation.

There are high growth expectations regarding 3D printing and it is considered to be the key driver of change in the current manufacturing models. Its application areas are diverse, among others, healthcare, construction, education and industrial sectors. 3D printing offers the possibility of designing and creating unique items on demand, with flexibility, rapid prototyping, and at a reduced cost; these are just a few of the many advantages of 3D printing, and they will make it a technology of great importance in the coming years.

The digital transformation is already evident in many sectors, in the world of finance as well. The incorporation of technology in finance, also known as Fintech, is based on the optimisation of resources by applying strategies to offer innovative products and services, adapted to the needs of today's clients.

Becoming a smart city is the desire of many cities worldwide, our society is better prepared, its more aware of its environment and it is willing to contribute to building a more sustainable life; to make this possible all those living in the city must be united. 

The new global panorama has made us reflect on the importance of incorporating new technologies in our cities. Connectivity and intelligent systems enable the efficient management of urban structures, energy efficiency, intelligent mobility and, above all, sustainability and improved quality of life for citizens.

The intelligent or connected industry constitutes a competitive advantage for companies, which have noticed improvements in their production processes and turnover. These advances can be doubled with the inclusion of 5G technology, which is an excellent opportunity, especially amidst the current global situation.
