“Modern economies are highly dependent on information systems and networks connected to “cyberspace” a virtual world with a population of several billion and growing.”

After reading Sven Birkerts’ Into the Electronic Millennium, I have to say that I don’t agree with his arguments at all. For me new technology is the future of mankind and it will evolve into something more superior and magical than newspapers. Whenever I have to do some research on a topic I usually surf the internet instead of going to the library and finding books which is less efficient. However, I have to say he has some really good points that I can’t disagree on. I believe technology is going to be the key to future and will help us effectively.

I am part of a generation of economists that grew up online. Thus, I have witnessed the growth promise and disruptive potential of Internet-based technologies driven by their capacity to amplify and propagate economic phenomena. I want to develop and test theories about the economy-wide impact of digital technologies. My (micro)empiricist side – built working with Amy Finkelstein at NBER and Edward Miguel at UC Berkeley – tells me to trust data more than anecdotal evidence. Simultaneously, my (macro)theorist side – developed at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), UC Berkeley, and LSE– reminds me to look at patterns in a system rather than in isolation. Combining my macro and development interests, I crafted a research agenda to explore the benefits and risks of mass digital adoption. For this proposal I received the ‘La Caixa’ Fellowship – Spain’s NSF-equivalent – to fund my future graduate studies in Economics, which I hope to have the chance to pursue at MIT.
