Blog

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Ahora lee el siguiente texto y compara si lo que pensaste est expresado de alguna

manera en el mismo.

A blog is a website, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of

commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video.

Entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be

used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as

more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to

other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to

leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.

Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs

(photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting) are part

of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which

consists of blogs with very short posts.

As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112

million blogs. With the advent of video blogging, the word blog has taken on an even

looser meaning of any bit of media wherein the subject expresses his opinion or simply

talks about something.

FOR AND AGAINST THE INTERNET

The biggest target of internet has always been the communication. Now we can

communicate in a fraction of second with a person who is in the other side of the

world. Today we have the facilities of e-mail and we can chat for hours with lots of

people. Besides, we can also explore other unknown cultures. Some other uses people

have discovered are: games, chat rooms or just surfing the Web. Chat rooms are

becoming more popular because users can meet new and interesting people.

However, not everything is perfect. Spending long amounts of time on line may have a

negative effect on studies, work and even social or marital lives. To make matter

worse, the Internet is replacing T.V., music and other types of home entertainment.

Pornography is perhaps the worst threat related to children`s behavior

Before deciding upon the hosting provider, it is important that you check out their

control panel. It is a very important decision to make as this will be a long term

decision and you will have to live with it through out. Most of the web sites have an

CONSUMERS like large displays on the mobile devices they use for reading an e-mail

message or an e-book, but they also like to tuck those devices into their pockets.

But the bigger the screen on a cellphone or an e-reader, the sooner it outgrows

pocket size.

Now a hallmark feature of these screens their rigidity is changing. New

technologies are developing that make displays flexible, foldable or even as

rollable as papyrus, so that large screens can be unfurled from small containers.

One new mobile device, the Readius, designed mainly for reading books,

magazines, newspapers and mail, is the size of a standard cellphone. Flip it open,

though, and a screen tucked within the housing opens to a 5-inch diagonal display.

The screen looks just like a liquid crystal display, but can bend so flexibly that it

can wrap around a finger.

The Readius will be introduced in England, Italy and Germany this fall and in the

United States early in 2009, Mr. McGoldrick (the chief executive of Polymer Vision,

the company in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, that created the device) said. Its

battery lasts for about 30 hours of reading long enough to get through The Red

and the Black, and possibly a chunk of War and Peace. Pages can be read under

a variety of lighting conditions, even including full sunlight, he said. The price is

not yet set, but Thomas van der Zijden, vice president for marketing and sales,

said the Readius would be more expensive than the Kindle, which now is selling for

$359.
