Technolgy

Hello everyone,


If you asked me about my favourite piece of technology, i said that is the Computer, but with Internet, because without it, i think that now, is just useless...


Now, if you don't have internet are disconected from the others and the different news that appear there and other stuffs like that (i mean virtual and real-time connection, information that you can get instantly). Now, i couldn't imagine my life without a pc, i couldn't do my works, i couldn't check my mails, my facebook, etc. So, computer had began a multi-porpouse machine, we don't use it just like an educative tool, we use it as an entertaiment and informative tool, everiday we have new functions in it that make our life a little bit more fast and light (just think how hard was life when people couldn't send a letter in a fast way or when you had to do your works with a typewritter or hand-made it has to be awful).

I remember when i had my first computer, the year is confused, but i remember that it had a mario bros. game inside and it was cool, i didn't though about computer as an educative tool, for me was just something where a could play. Now my mind had changed a little bit, i'm still thinking about computer as an entertaiment tool but now i discovered other uses.

As you can see, my interest on computer is just because of the conectivity tools that this gave us, i think that in current society we can't get by trough it forgetting or ignoring this tools, if you don't like it, is your opinion, but you just HAVE to use it, because if not, you're isolated from the others who accepted this tools, i don't know if i'm enough clear about that, but if i'm not, i could say it in other way: If you don't like technology, you can complain about how complex is current life, but soon or later, you will see yourself needed to use this because of any reason, maybe an unexpected fact or a job that requires constant contact with some other person far away from you, etc. Technology made us life more easy, or at least that's what it was developed.

Maybe, my today post were a little bit dispersed but that happened me all time.

Good Bye everyone.

Best Regards

BBC teach you how to speak/write english




Almost like a miracle, Britains gave us a site where we can learn about there language, what's the wonderful side?

It's free and fun, generally this kind of sites are really boring, but this is kind of fun, i actually enjoyed it because have some activities very cool like crosswords and quizzes, this kind of sites make us very fun the process of learning a foreign language.

Plus, the site teach us with stuffs that sometimes the traditional way forget, like the non-literal phrases that the common peolpe used, matters that for us are difficult to learn if we not talk with native english speakers, phrases like "keep your eyes on the ball" that i saw in a short video where a "teacher" told us how britains speak on the colloquial situations.

Another thing that called my attention was the Funky Phrasals, what's that? Phrasals verbs are a kind of verbs that -are very hard to learn- make our english more natural, not so "traditional" or in other words more "normal".

Finally, i can say that this site will become one of my favourite on my web browser I will visit it frequently.

See you later.
