technology reduced the size of computers and phones, took man to the moon and helped to shorten the distance between continents. The technology generates benefits and controversies. Serves to create weapons of war, improve household tasks and save lives. Technology can be good and bad. One of its best features, among many possible, is when the service is affectivity. The technology, the intangible essence, not only materializes in rockets, supersonic airplanes or doses of vaccines revolutionary. She also reflected in lengthy hugs from those who used it to kill the longing for a good time.
It is thanks to technology that groups of friends, whose contact was lost in time and space, are resuming the relationship . Are people over 50 or 60 who reunited college friends or neighbors of decades ago. Adults are rediscovering childhood when faced with school friends on social networks. There are many examples of friendships reset via computers and mobile phones. One such group of friends is made up of men and women between 30 and 35 years, all former students of the college Nobrega, educational institution that today only exists gloriously in remembrance of those who studied there.
It all started when a nurse Thacyana Gomes and businessman José Henrique Nogueira, both 34, began adding the childhood peers on Facebook. The discussion on social networks evolved to create a group on Whatsapp. Gradually, names and numbers were reminded added. “Spending 20 years without contact with someone and to rediscover that person feel that the atmosphere of friendship is the same, despite the ideals and professions are different, is something magical,” says the creator of the group.
Each cell has become a time machine, used according to the free time each. Some have recognized the fellow promptly. Others took to realize that the strange number on the phone display had a friend behind child or adolescent adventures. Stories, jokes and nicknames emerged in some dusty corner of the mind and adults could go back to being children. Those boys and girls of the 80s, who lost contact “because that’s life”, were discovered parents, lawyers, journalists, businessmen, nurses, engineers, Veterinary and many other professions so far from ever dreamed that one day be .
At 34 years old, married for seven years and mother of two boys, Erika Samico wanted to be a pediatrician. Turned veterinarian with master’s and doctorate in food safety. With its particular time machine, found friends who had no more news and could revisit childhood. “I smell that time, the courtyard, the rooms, the taste of the snack canteen. The maximum being relive a little piece of my life, “he says.
One of the friends of the school who could rediscover Erika was André Barros. The boy who wanted to be a judge graduated in law, turned state’s attorney, married and became the father of a girl. “I was happy with very little and try to appreciate my daughter in the building of sincere relationships since childhood. Relive all this is a jump in the past, without a parachute. I’m taking my daughter to know that Daddy’s friends, when I was her age. She will realize that friendships can be forever and few things in life are forever, “he says.
No barriers to friendship
It does not seem that Recife, Philadelphia (USA), São Paulo, Delmiro Gouveia (AL) and Petrolina and Ouricuri, both in Pernambuco backlands are miles away from each other. It is these cities that the members of the group named Friends of the Class D Nobrega use the newest technology to revive the old infancy and talk as if they were all together in the playground. Not all belonged to the same class during school life, but have in common the love for the former Jesuit college, now a high school under the administration of state government.
The group conversations are nostalgic and chaotic, with all talking at once, or memories evoked at different times due to the time zone. Philadelphia, writes Thiago Port, 34, who studied at the Garden II Nobrega to finish high school and today is a multinational financial manager. “I never imagined that such a reunion was possible and not expect it to be so good. Was a positive surprise, “he says.
Already architect Thais Rubens, 33, faced the virtual reunion with childhood peers afraid because I think maybe the only thing they had in common were the memories. It did not take to feel at ease. “What am started on the patio and in the halls of the college. When everyone started talking in the group, the memories returned with the smell, color and sound, “he says.
The namesakes Sergio Artoni, Physical Education teacher, and Sérgio Lopes, engineer, were responsible for the talks leave the virtual environment. Not everyone was able to go to the meetings, but who could participate online way. Thus was formed a wheel chat that mixed barbecue, beer, bits, politics, football, photos, mobile internet and many memories. The history professor Flavio Moraes was not content with the distance and out of Alagoas to see friends at the last meeting of the class. “Relive those moments of such immense sincerity and innocence was one of the best things” he says.
The friends now want to hold a larger gathering at the end of the year, with the participation of all members of the virtual group . The goal is to expand the school family with the inclusion of husbands, wives, sons to form an even greater affective network
