THE BROWSER AND SEARCH ENGINE I USE

For the las couple of year I've been alternating between two different browsers. After getting sick of Internet explorer, I began using Safari, for it was a lot faster and easier to use, then i also started Mozzila Firefox, because it had all the tthings that safari had AND it saved all the tabs i was viewing before i closed it. And the search engine I use is the unbeatable Google, it is the fastes the best, it is years infront of Yahoo, Ask any many oter search engines.

SOFTWEAR FOR UNIVERSITY

Next year I hope to start going to University, the UPV more especifically. If I sucessfully pass my last school year my father has promised to buy me a new laptop to replace my other laptop that died recently. I have still not made my decision, but I think I will buy a MAC. I believe them to be great, for work and for fun. And now I will need a powerfull computer to edit all my new audiovisual creations. Like MAC computers are extreamly expensive (In my opinon) I will ask for a 11 inch MACBOOK AIR with a 64 GB memory that costs 949,00 euros.

Now a days technology

Now a day's technology rules over our lives. Since the moment we wake up to the moment we go back to bed. technology is so persistant in our lives that schools, universities and even buisinesses are beginning to adabt their classic working squemes to new inoveted plans involving tecnology such as smart-phones, tablets, portable computers and others.

Next year, hopefully, I'll begin my first year at the university. This might be the of the three social environments where technology has been inserted the most in the day to day basics. In many classes people don't carry their notebooks anymore, now they carry a portable computer or a tablet, courses can be followed from your house because now most of the information explained in class is posted in internet in platforms such as Moodel*. Wifi connection is usually available in the whole campus in many universities, and in more everyday.

If right now I had to choose between a smart-phone, a tablet or a portable computer, I would probably choose a portable computer. Why? The reason for my election is because, I find smart-phones not to comfortable, and not easy at all to use for studying habits. Tablets are really nice, but they don't convince me to much, they're comfortable, but I don't seem to get used to using them I really don't know why. A portable computer would be my election because I find it to be the most comfortable to use, the one that with the biggest memory, and the easiest to use, and because all applications are compatible with a computer.

TECHNOLOGY ARTICLE

Lately the use of Blackberry's has decreased due to a great number of new IPhone users. There was a recent survey conducted by iPass ( a online website that talks about technology) that showed how the IPhone is now the most used smartphone with a 45% market share compared to Blackberry's scarce 3%.President and CEo of iPass, Evan Kaplan recently said that while Blackberry marketshare only declined by 3% in between 2010 and 2011, but other smartphones like Apple iPhone and Google Android devices, have grown pretty faster. He even said that in 2012 IPhone will continue to lead in the "enterprise", the second follower will be Android smartphones and finally Microsoft Windows Phone smartphones at "a distant third".

In conclusion, many experts have said that the tablet use will grow a great amount in the following years and a more alarming fact for businesses; businesses will have to pay their employees internet bills because of the amount of downloading that will be needed to be done.

SUMMER 2011

This has been one of the most amazing summers of my life, it's been one of the happiest summers of my life. I do believe that one of the major reasons, that made this summer so amazing was that four years after flunking atleast one subject, I finally passed all my subjects, and could enjoy my summer to the limit.

The summer had a wonderfull, for I bought a new bike and after two years with no bike, i finally had one. I remember that from the day on I've rarley left my house without my bike. The first few weeks were the calmest that I've ever been. All I did was, ride my bike, go to the beach, paint walls, and party through the night, and let the time role away slowly. i do believe that these were the best times in summer, maybe because it was just the begining of summer, or maybe because i took everything with so much pacience.

When a few weeks pased, my trip to Mallorca began, ou yeah. Mallorca was awsome. First I was a week in Magaluf, and Palmanova, the second week we went up to Alcudia, much better place by the way.Everyday, sunny paradisatic mediteranean beaches, great food, swimmingpool, and great night clubs. Every day was a cxhallenge for my body, just a little more, don't fall asleep yet, not yet. There I got my dreadlocks done, a very tedious thing. It took nearly five hours to get the finished, but i was well entertained during all this time, great conversation, great movies, great concert movies, and great food.

After two weeks in Mallorca it was time to go back. I was a few days in my hometown Berango, tryuing to catch up with my friends, but most of them were out. So it was just 3 of us for those nice sunny days. After a passed my remaining vacations, in my summer house in Ajo. Paradise. Every now and then I would go back to party, especially for "fiestas de Bilbao" the most intensive two weeks of my life.

I returned to ajo for a few days and came back to Berango a few days before the new school year began. And now I find myself with my summer vacations finished, and a new school course ahed of me, it is the last one, I guess I'll miss this school alot...

WHAT IS A WIKI?

Have you ever asked yourself, what is a wiki?A wiki is a website in witch all the pages can be edited in a web browser, by anyone who is reading it. It uses a simplified language called WYSIWY text editor. You can add images to them, and different security preferences can be selected, from being a public wiki or a being private. the real meaning of "Wiki" is "fast" in Hawaian dialect. If you want to start your own wiki all you need is, in the first place a computer . Secondly, you need an sufficiently fast connection to internet , as wikis are web pages. Then creat a wiki for free in the internet and use your mind to write about anything you want. You can also register in any other wiki and write in that one, you don't have to create your own to write in a wiki. There are many different wikis, some heve are huge bases of information, some uncover corrupt governments or goverment secrets, some are simpple dictionaries some are simple comical. Here is a list of the most famous wikis; Wikipedia, Wikispaces, Wikileaks, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikispecies. Meny people are confused with the differences between a Wiki, a Blog, and a Social Network. Really, they all have differences. Blogs have a single author. It is the author who posts,others comment, it has a one-to-many content. Wikis have many different authors, they are edited by a group , tha are continuousy changing and growing rapidly, and they are a form of many-to-many communication. Finally, social networks are also one-to- many communication. People can comment on your profile, see your photos and comment them, and even chat with others.

Data Base Lottery Ticket

This year, as 11th grade class in the ASB, the New York trip coresponds to us. You might not know this, but a trip to New York is pretty expensive, so we our permited to organize fund rasing activities, and like christmas is comming, we have decided to prepare a christmas basket, with it's corresponding raffel.

But the tikets didn't appear suddenly, they were made by our trip leader, John Asensi. He used a database program to creat them, Filemaker Pro to be precise. What is a database program? Well, database programs are used to store greart amounts of information. The data is stored the following way, the firt "folder" to call it in some way, is the record, a persons medical record for example, then would come the fields, name surname telephone for example, and finally the data, that would be your information that goes in the fields.

This is one of the many things you can do with these programs called database programs.

RSS

Ever wondered what RSS stands for? Me neither, but it is a very interesting. RSS stands for Rich Site Summary, witch is the sharing of content among different web sites, usually TV shows, newspaper columns. It was originally created by Netscape, it is most comonly used forheadline distribuating on the internet. Let me give you an example, a random web site wants to to let other websites allow them to publish some of its contents. Well the website must creat a RSS document and register it with an RSS publisher. Once this is done, the person that is reading can now publish it or re-use it in any diferent website. Another thing you can do with RSS is "RSS Feed" witch is basically sending your content to anybody who wants it.

The first version to ever appear was created on March 15, 1999, only it was called RSS 0.90 by Netscape(as mention before). Since that day many versions have come out, the last one came out on March ·0th 2009, but this time it was called "RSS 2.0 Version 2.0.11, so you can imagine how many versions have come out since March 15 1999, quite a few.
