It might be worth rewording the Hint given with "... one of the industries that benefited the most from this new technology" > "... una de las industrias más beneficiadas de esta nueva tecnología".

It reads: "The adjective "new" refers to another or a newly-acquired technology rather than its condition". We were referred to Position of adjectives in Spanish - [reference number 6982]  and I thought your hint implied that 'nueva' was acting to differentiate the noun 'tecnología' [i.e., to distinguish it from others] - rather than to 'emphasise' it.

Apropos of ' "Lo que" vs "la cosa que" ',   I sometimes see "cosa que" used to mean "which", as in 

    Querían detenerme por robo, cosa que no hice.

Is this usage correct?   If so, is there a lesson that discusses it?

Thanks!

Missing word - Don't pay for those for him, or Don't buy those for him, maybe?

I can see how "lugar" might be used to signify: taking "place" (tener lugar) but surely the intent is that the occasion will "occur" rather than being placed somewhere? Would not "ocurrir" be a better verb? Esto ocurrirá entre . . . and why "esta" instead of "esto" or even "este"? It is an "evento", no? 

And "habrá lugar para nuevos creadores"? It's as though "lugar" is being used as an easy substitute for better word choices.

What is IFEMA?

I believe that "escaparate" is like a "vitrina" which is an object, whereas the event, as a "highlight", might be considered to be "el último en moda" or "gran destacado de la moda española".

I feel as though I'm missing the point somehow. Nevertheless, it's a thought-provoking article for vocabulary.

Hello! 

"Ayer fui a la piscina y ____ la toalla."

I put "me olvidé" but got it wrong, it said "olvidé" was correct. I'm aware that you can use olvidé alone, but is me olvidé wrong? The "hint" on the bottom says "Use the grammatically correct form used with the verb olvidar."

I wonder if the English translation is incorrect (specifically, the "to go"), because the Spanish sentence has no "ir" in it. Instead, there is "saltar" which the English does not seem to consider.

I am surprised that there is not a note on this question: what's in (your bag)? 

It may seem tempting to translate "is" to "esta'" but actually "is" means "is there" so it should be "hay". I thought this is an interesting case to be included in this lesson. :)
