CoMpUtEr UsE StAnDaRdS

Corporations are the responsibles of their employees injuries.
Government should stablish laws as how to use a computer or obligate to the ventures to buy more confortable and specialized keyboard or mouse.
Workers just do their tasks, they just write with the tools the enterprise provide them and if they have injuries is because of the corporation or compensate them for the suffered injuries because of the repetitive work they must do.
Workers could also take a break or eyes break for a couple of minutes.

Copying Software

As it is logical in every pages appears that we shouldn´t copy software because it is an illegal practice.
In my opinion copying software should be legal as the programm it is expensive.
The only problem is that the copy could carry problems.
Besides, Civil penalties for copyright infringement in the United States are severe. The infringer is liable for damages suffered by the copyright owner, plus any profits of the infringer that are attributable to the copying or statutory damages of up to $150,000 for each work infringed. The maximum criminal penalties for copyright infringement in the US hold the infringer responsible for up to $250,000 and jail terms of up to five years.

So... take care about it.

File Sharing

File sharing is a easy method to download files as music, films etc. A lot of Recording industries are against theese type of programms because they loss million dollars each year and it doesn´t compensate them.
In my opinion file sharing programms shouldn´t be illegal because cd and cinema prices are extremely high, if music companies would decrease their prices maybe I would change my opinion.

Internet Plagiarism

Sometimes plagiarism is a didactical tool as children could take the Web information and make it fit in with their own work.If a child has these skills, it can be very difficult for teachers to spot.
As I have said teachers should response to cheating if the only thing you do is copy paste , but if you use the information in a good way , changing words for example the children at least would finnish reading all the information and making a summary

GTA ==> a violent game for society ?


I have Grand Theft Auto Game and I recognize that although it is a violent game I haven´t become crazy .
An important point is that it is not recomendable that very young children play to such of this games as in them appear much blood, and mission are always gory.
But a normal and mature person is not going to become a killer or mad. Crazy people tend to born with a brain trauma but not necesary a game is going to turn you sick.

job outsourcing == a problem ??

http://www.mapsofindia.com/outsourcing-to-india/outsourcing.html

In my opinion , if companies want to increase their profits would replace their subsidiaries to other countries as India or Rusia as their costs will decrease. Besides, if they replace homeland workers to workers in poor foreign countries they will also be benefied because the salaries they would pay them will be lower.
However, if every corporation would do the same, national wokers wouldnt work as there won´t be enough for everybody.

Lesson2, Exercise 2

1. The founders of Google are Larry page and Sergey Brin
2. PageRank Technology: reflects Google's view of the importance of web pages. Pages that Google believes are important pages receive a higher PageRank and are more likely to appear at the top of the search results. also considers the importance of each page that casts a vote, as votes from some pages are considered to have greater value. Google's technology uses the collective intelligence of the web to determine a page's importance.

Hypertext-Matching Analysis: Google's search engine also analyzes page content. To bring its accurate and speedy search results to users accessing the web through portable devices, Google also pioneered the first wireless search technology for on-the-fly translation of HTML to formats optimized for WAP, i-mode, J-SKY, and EZWeb.
3.The I´m feeling lucky button automatically takes you to the first web page returned for your query. An "I'm Feeling Lucky" search means you spend less time searching for web pages and more time looking at them.
Froogle is a searchable and brows able shopping index tuned to finding products for sale online

travel web exercise ==> 2 FINLAND (helsinky)


The country I have choosen is Finland as is a place I have always wanted to go.
Finland is in located Northern Europe, bordering the Baltic Sea, Gulf of Bothnia, and Gulf of Finland, between Sweden and Russia.
Climate: The main factor influencing Finland's climate is the country's geographical position between the 60th and 70th northern parallels in the Eurasian continent's coastal zone, which shows characteristics of both a maritime and a continental climate, depending on the direction of air flow. The mean temperature in Finland is several degrees (as much as 10°C in winter) higher than that of other areas in these latitudes, e.g. Siberia and south Greenland. The temperature is raised by the Baltic Sea, inland waters and, above all, by air flows from the Atlantic, which are warmed by the Gulf Stream.
Winter:In winter, the mean temperature remains below 0°C, but warm air flows can raise the daily high above 0°C at times. Winter usually begins in mid-October in Lapland and during November in the rest of Finland, though not until December in the southwestern archipelago.North of the Arctic Circle, part of the winter is the period known as the polar night, when the sun does not rise above the horizon at all. In the northernmost extremity of Finland, the polar night lasts for 51 days. In southern Finland, the shortest day is about 6 hours long.
Spring:In spring, the mean daily temperature rises from 0°C to 10°C. Spring begins in early April .
Summer:In summer, the mean daily temperature is consistently above 10°C. Summer usually begins in late May in southern Finland and lasts until mid-September.The highest summer temperatures in the Finnish interior are from 32°C to 35°C. Near the sea and in the islands, temperatures over 30°C are extremely rare; the highest temperature ever recorded in Helsinki is 31.6°C
Population:5,190,785
Age structure:
0-14 years: 17.7% (male 468,077; female 450,785) 15-64 years: 66.9% (male 1,753,760; female 1,719,253) 65 years and over: 15.4% (male 312,883; female 486,027)

Movies & Music


One of my favourites movies is "The Butterfly Effect"(2004) The title is a reference to the butterfly effect, which theorises that a change in something seemingly innocuous, such as a flap of a butterfly's wings, may cause unexpected larger changes in the future, such as a tornado. The Butterfly Effect is directed and written by Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber.
Evan Treborn (Ashton Kutcher), who suffered severe traumas as a boy (Logan Lerman) and a teenager (John Patrick Amedori), copes with the pain by blacking out at moments of high stress. While searching for an answer to heal his emotional wounds, he finds that when he reads from his adolescent journals, he travels back in time.There are consequences of his choices.

Another one is "Requiem for a Dream". Its a very interesting movie about drugs. The story's main characters are mother and son, Sara (Burstyn) and Harry Goldfarb (Leto), Harry's girlfriend Marion Silver (Connelly), and Harry's friend Tyrone C. Love (Wayans). The film adaptation was directed by Darren Aronofsky, and starred Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, and Marlon Wayans. Burstyn was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance.

Elvis prestley is already King of Rock and Roll. He became such a great singer because of his voice and great presence on the stage. His career soon took off , besides, he took part in a Tv programme. All of theese captivated the teenage audience. In 1977 he died as a result of a cardiovascular disease.

Eric Clapton had been in 3 different music bands, the Yardbirds later with Cream and finally he decided to be a single artist. Clapton took up the guitar at age 15 and created his first group, The Roosters. His grip with the guitar is known in everyworld. Layla , tears in heaven , cocaine are some of the most famous songs.

My first time surfing the net

The first time I surfered by internet was when the chats became famous, 5 years ago more or less.
It was marvellous for me as I could chat with people from other countries and share opinions and hobbies on websites as Terra or Msn . I made loyal friends and I have had the chance to meet someone later.
Later I discovered that I was able to buy or sell my own things by e-bay on a easy way , so when I had enough money I bought a Nokia mobile very cheap. It was a really bargain !! and I sold my mp3 expensiver than it really was , hehe ...
Internet has become a very useful tool in our lifes to make homeworks to read the newspaper or to look for curiosities.
Could we live without it ?
