Differences and similarities between the Technology and architecture in Sweden and Italy

In GKC everyone gets their own computers given by the school to write down notes from the lessons and to do your homework. We also have the access to a free wi-fi. In Capirola nobody gets a computer but they have computers they can use in a computer lab for the Informatics. The students in Capirola do their homework on a paper and write down notes in a notebook. Although, they don’t have a free wi-fi. Both in Capirola and in GKC you’re not allowed to use your cell phone unless the teacher says it’s okay. If you use your phone during the lesson at GKC the teacher will ask you to put it away. But if you use your phone during the lesson at Capirola the teacher will take it away and give it back to you at the end of the school day.

In Italy it’s more common to play video games than computer games. We play the same video games in both Italy and in Sweden such as FIFA, GTA and COD. But in Sweden we also play computer games. Almost everyone knows what Netflix is and almost everyone use it. Whereas, in Italy they don’t use Netflix. They usually watch movies in the cinema or on Sky instead of watching movies and series on the internet.

In Italy every house has fences. Mostly because they want to protect themselves and the house from thieves. In Sweden it isn’t that common to have fences around the house. Some houses don’t have any fence at all. Sometimes there’s bushes that parts the houses from each other. In the houses the majority of the people in Sweden use electricity driven stoves. Meanwhile, most of the Italians use gas stoves. We both have wooden floors and stone floors. But the Italians have more stone floors than we in Sweden have. In Sweden it’s normal to have stone floors in the bathroom and sometimes in the entrance.


The cities in Sweden have more nature than in Italy. There’s more cars and people in Italy because the population is bigger. They also have lots of old monuments, older buildings and shopping centers. The cities in Sweden are turning more modern although we still have some older buildings and monuments left.
