MY FAVOURITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY.

...my cell phone!!

Yeah! Have you forgotten it´s a machine, and not a part of you??

In my case, the cell phone has became the most unmissible thing to carry on. Even more important than my underwear! (just joking). My parent gave me my first cell on 2002´s christmass. Sorry, Santa Claus. It would be my first year as a college young boy, and they didn´t want to set me free: "Peter, this gift is to report us who are you with, where, what are you ´gonna do, etc. Not for chatting with friends or girlfriends"... "You just have $10.000 pesos a month on calls and don´t you waste any peso!!. Of course, I spent it on a week, and not specificly to my parents! I was the cell men. During the years, muy budget didn´t change. Every time I talked with somebody on my cell, it was like this: 1.Hi! 2.Where are you. 3.What are you ´gonna do 4.Call me, my minutes are dying!! Tuuu tuuu tuuuu. Everybody hated me, I was the minute´s thief.

So, when my brother got into college in 2005, we had a serious chat an concluded on this: Dad, change the cell plan!!!! And he did. Since that, my life has completely changed. Now I talk to my friends and doesn´t call me "the pahantom", can ask girl´s number (and call them), and do so many things that before I was unable to do! I love my cell.

But there has been many changes since 2002 on the cell technology! Now my cell haves a 2.0 megapixels, radio, mp4, mp3 lector, video camera... smaller and lighter!! Of course that exists the top of cells like blackberries or the new Iphone. But that´s bussines man´s stuff. I love my cell, because it´s a thing that I can easily carry on, and I´m always available to comunicate with anyone, in any part of the world, and if I don´t want to talk with anybody, I just turn it off. I also like because it´s a multifunctional machine: Phone, Clock, alarm, radio and music player.

Well, hoping that cell phones get smaller with the time, I end this technology review, and including a link that provides information about the history of cell phones development.

MY FAVOURITE WEBSITE

My favourite website.

http://www.facebook.com/

Facebook is a site were you can make your own profile, have groups, friends, and upload your own photos to the web. It´s like a blog, but different: It´s more secure and private. When you build your own profile, you select or search to your friends and they are the only ones that can see your pictures, videos, etc . You can chat with then and haves a sistem "wall to wall" that allows you to write on your friend´s walls and comunicate with them. Also, for those who likes to play more and have fun, you have a hole series of games that can be played on the web. It´s really funny, beause you tagg your friends and when someone makes a comment on your photos, the web e-mails you and tells you about it.

I knew about Facebook around 5 months ago because of one cousin and I visit the page like at least 2 times a day. It´s too cool and keeps you in touch with your people. It´s very special to me, because on the weeks I don´t have much time to spend with my friends or cousins, and this is a way to keep in touch. Also I use the web to upload pictures of a house that I designed, so It´s a very good platform to show it and it´s on a folder that shows the entire construction process, so I think that it´s a big help for me and everyone that are interested in architecture.

That´s all. If you´re interested, click on:

BBC Learning English

Four people, a cat and a flat.

Hi everybody! This task is to write a comment about the BBC Learning English page, so I´ll tell you about my own impression.

When I just opened the page, there were too much information! Too much written and a little of pictures... Not so friendly to start! I think that the page needs to show up more some links or themes, because every link is as the same than another!

Well, that was just talking about the first impression. (talking about design). The contents of each link is very complete! You have a picture of the subject, the written grammar dialogue and the listening part - which is very good because the english is talked very slowly and easy to catch -. It also haves the quiz part and it´s very interactive and easy going. Obviously the page haves several levels depending of the user´s knowledge. It´s really like a real english class and helps us to improve our english.

It´s good to be on the free web so everybody can learn some english. Good iniciative and hope that everybody can join the page.

Well, that´s my comment. For more information, click http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/
