KARLA CALLE - ANGELS & DEMONS

This book was written by Dan Brown (author of The DaVinci Code). It is a science fiction book. The book tells a story about an ancient group named ILLUMINATI, which was a group who didn't believe in God. It was during the time of the Inquisition when this group grew in the number of its members.

The book's plot evolves from the murder of a scientist. He was killed because of a powerful discovery he made. I later continues with the murdered of four cardinals in Vatican City. The city itself is in danger because of the robbery of the scientific discovery forementioned. The main character of the book is a scientist from Harvard University named Robert Longdon. In the book he is who tries to decode the clues to prevent these killings, however he finds himself always one step behind the killer.

I really enjoyed this book because it is very intriguing and it relates a lot of history about Rome, The Vatican, Rome's churches, and a lot of interesting characters are part of the story like Galeno.

KARLA CALLE - WHAT CHANGED MY LIFE

All my life has been normal sort of speak. I used to play with my sister and fight with her as well. I've always been very close to my parents. Among some of my hobbies, I enjoy reading and listening to music, speaking on my mobile phone and sleeping. I consider one of my priorities in my life is to become a doctor and get a PHD in traumatology or surgery.
One of the things that marked my life and changed it forever was a surgery I had done on my back when I was eighteen years old. Ever since then I have a few physic limitations, one of them is that now I'm unable to play basketball which used to be one of my favorite hobbies back when I was in high school.
I believe that every little thing that happens in our lives are good for us to gain experience and become stronger for the future.

::TECHNOLOGY:: The TV!!!

Although we use many forms of technology in our lives, television is one of the first to spring to mind. Methods of transmitting images were developed in the 19th century, but it was not until the mid-1920s that a system similar to today's terrestrial television was born. Incredibly, however the first flat screens were already being explored by the 1930s. We have come a long way since then: we now have the remote control, colour, high-definition, on-demand services, satellite, cable and digital signals...

The applicatio

ns of television, whether broadcast or recorded are abundant: education, marketing, entert

ainment, shopping, propaganda, dissemination of information. And in the future it could ha

ve as yet unimagined uses: telemedicine, video calls, 3D, or we may even see the disappe

arance of traditional broadcast televisio in favour of streamed video.

In fact, in the future, the word 'television' may

become redundant, as new, unimagined technologies take its place.

My Life!!!

When I was a child my first things to do usually be do my homeworks, study for exams, and have many time to play whith my barbies. But when i think that how could be my life when i grow up i never imagine something like now...

Now my life will bw change a lot... I don´t play with toys and i have other priorities..

I have to live for my self, have a goog job, because if one day I think about to have a family, I have to work hard to have money for my son...

Technology...

At the present, the technology advanced to much, in the medicine, computer technology, photography’s, music, cars, and the communication too.

Now, you can communicate with the people of the different places of the world from your computer, only with internet, you can talk with the world and see to many people by webcam.

Also we have a lot of facilities to communicate, because the people invent the cell phone, nowadays from your cell phone you can talk, listen to music, play different games, you have access to internet, to messenger, you can use it as flash memory and you can take a photography´s.

And the medicine, each day is advanced more and more, and to save life´s for the doctors is easier, after of a surgery the people in content because the patient haven´t a scar or the scar is smallest.

I think that the technology is very nice, because now have a facility´s, but we have learn to use it of a good form.

Caro´s life

I think that when you are a child the life is easy, the children don´t have responsibilities and only play; but with the time, you grow and the responsibilities and the life change.
When I was five years old, I played with my cousin “Margarita” and she was my best friend too, always we played with Barbie’s dolls and sometimes with our boys cousins we played with cars and played soccer.
Then, in the high school, my life changed a lot, because I knew new people, I learned a lot of things, I went to parties and in this epoch I had my first love and my first disillusion.
But now, the change of my life is very big, because I chose my future, now I study Tourism, and I don´t have a person that tell me “study” or that help me because now is my responsibility and is my future. I have new friends, but I think that my true friend and best friends are the high school friends because they never to betray me. I don´t see them always because is difficult, but we talk by telephone and when we can see, we enjoy a lot this time.
Our friendship is true and sincere.

My life changed a lot, and the life of all the people change with the time, but all this changes we have to enjoy and every day learn new things.

THE COMPUTER

In the XIX century the British mathematic and inventor Charles Babbage elaborated the first digital computer. He invented some machines, like the differential machine, designed to solve math complex problems.
Although the technology was very limited at that time, this first computer had memory to save data and also had a printer.
For me the computer is one of the best inventions, it is always changing according to the advance of the technology, it is always bringing new stuff to help us in our daily life, personally is my tool of work, using my laptop I can work, design and at the same time I can access the world through the Internet.

Cellphones... anywhere

The history of cellphones goes back to the beginning of the Second World War, where he was the need for communication, and a company created a team called Motorola Handie Talkie, this equipment allows contact with all the troops via radio waves

With the time cellphones are becoming more accessible to people, to the point where any normal person could buy one, and cellphones are not only to talk you can even take pictures with cameras and record videos and send them as a messages.

Actually you can find any kind of cellphones in the market, expensives and cheaps, with differents functions, and in differents brands, all people have one, because if you dont have one you are not available to communicate with anybody.

I think cellphones are one of the most important inventions that man has created.

FLASH MEMORY

Fujio Masuoka in the year of 1984 invented FLASH MEMORY.
It is a great invention because the flash memory is used to keep information. If you need keep photographs, music files, wor­d processing documents you can make whit the FLASH MEMORY.
FLASH MEMORY comes in a variety of forms to serve a variety of purposes. For me FLASH MEMORY is a great invention, because a It has made my life easy.

AIRPLANES

The dream of flying dates back to prehistoric times. Many legends and myths of the ancient stories of flights as the Greek case the flight of Icarus. Leonardo da Vinci, among other inventors visionary, a plane designed in the fifteenth century. With the first flight by man (Jean-François Pilâtre of Rozier and Francois Laurent d'Arlandes) on a device lighter than air, a balloon, the biggest challenge became building a machine heavier than air, capable of lifting flight on their own.

I think that airplanes are the most useful way to transfer to distant places in less time, so you can learn about other cities, countries and cultures. In our modern world the plane is used consistently for either local or international flights. These costs go down more flights each day, for example in Europe a flight from Amsterdam to Berlin can cost up to 20 euros, for this Reason still more airlines and more people traveling by air. I think in the future will be as easy, quick and cheap travel. but airplanes are also used for the war then this would be a negative point for the world, but we can change that.

CAMERAS..

The first camera of pictures was created in 1826; it was of wooden, years later in 1865 the first small camera of pictures was created for all people can take it to any place without problem. With the years thanks to the technology the camera was improving, at the present time every time, it is better.
There are many types of cameras: Cameras estenopeicas, compact cameras, digital cameras. Etc

I think that it is the best invention that the humanity has made because a camera is more than an object is a means of memories, and I think that all the people like to have memories of your youth and all your life, friends, family, the most special moments in your life, memories caught in a paper that will last forever. Because in the pictures all the people just keep our happy moments, making of the life something better and more beautiful.

As for children I don't have an I number I hope to receive those that god me of.

LAPTOP...

LAPTOP
History
As the personal computer became feasible in the early 1970s, the idea of a portable personal computer followed; in particular, a "personal, portable information manipulator" was envisioned by Alan Kay at Xerox PARC in 1968 and described in his 1972 paper as the "Dynabook". The first commercially available portable computer appeared nine years later, in 1981. The general terms "laptop" or "notebook" can be used to refer to a number of classes of small portable computers.

As replacement. A desktop replacement computer is a laptop that provides most of the capabilities of a desktop computer, with a similar level of performance. Desktop replacements are usually larger and heavier than standard laptops. They contain more powerful components and numerous ports, and have a 15.4" or larger display. Because of their bulk, they are not as portable as other laptops and their operation time on batteries is typically shorter.

Advantages
Portability is usually the first feature mentioned in any comparison of laptops versus desktop PCs^. Portability means that a laptop can be used in many places - not only at home and at the office, but also during commuting and flights, in coffee shops, in lecture halls and libraries, at clients' location or at a meeting room, etc. The portability feature offers several distinct advantages: Getting more done, Immediacy, Up-to-date information, Connectivity,

Being expensive, common and portable, laptops are prized targets for theft. The cost of the stolen business or personal data and of the resulting problems (identity theft, credit card fraud, breach of privacy laws) can be many times the value of the stolen laptop itself. Therefore, both physical protection of laptops and the safeguarding of data contained on them are of the highest importance.

Actually the laptop is important because we need do different activities at university, home and other places.

That´s all…!!

SOMETHING ABOUT ME

My life when I was a little girl was very different to what it is now, when I was a little girl I was only thinking on playing with my dolls and my siblings. I didn’t have any worries, my only responsibility was to do my homework and play. Then little by little I was growing to finish my high school.

After I went to the University and my life changed totally because I had to leave my city, my family, and my friends to study the career that I liked, since then I had a lot of responsibilities because my career is very demanding and also I have to live by my own.

But during this time that I have lived in Cuenca I have met wonderful friends; they gave me the strength to finish my studies. Now days I am working on my thesis to graduate and become an Architect, my future plans are to work and then to pursuit a Master Degree oversize. After that I would love to get back to my city Loja to live with my family and to work as an Architect.

the portable computer was in the beggining a expensive instrument but now this one is really available for most of the people.

the laptop has worked very good for business man too and actually is possible install any program in it, even the designer ones.

today the portable computers has incorporated new systems of security and new ways of writing.

THE TELEVISION....

The television is a communication’s middle very important than it have influence of the individual and much more the children. It born since nearly 1900. There were many conflicts with this thing, for who is really the creator.

The television actually is the most important thing in the Humanity. It has become some necessary for our life; with the television we learn many things, some goods and other bads. But the best of this is than we can to be and know many cultures and news for all the world. Nevertheless we have been returned inactive. Now we don’t read a book or read the newspaper, and some fundamental don’t pass more time with the family; there isn’t exist the communication between us. This is the negative aspect.

But the television has many positive aspects. It has facility the life of the persons; for the companies use this middle for to make publicity. It’s better than go out to the streets for announce yours products. We know the situation of almost all the countries in the world, and finally it is a thing very fun than is true there isn’t exist communication in the family, but they meeting us.

The Computer

The computers are found wherever you look, and even in places that do not know. Computers billed their food, their ship fuel, delivered money to the ATM, on and off the heating, communicate with his family. They're everywhere! In fact, the computer is becoming, in a key engine in our lives, like the car. But ... What is a computer? A computer is an electronic system that executes instructions in a program.

A computer has four functions:

1 .- OK info: By any means of income, for example, scanner, keyboard, etc..

These four functions are common to any system, make this machine to provide our life so that many of the functions that were once was tedious and boring until now are simple.

bike

The wheel was discovered 10.000 years ago. Egyptians, Chinese, Italians used the wheels in an antique machine; this had two wheels in a wood piece.

This machine is the bike.

The first modern machine was designed in 1790 by French Sivrac ; this machine had two wood wheels together with two axes to a body wood; this machine had speed when the driver’s legs are to move but this disn't have direction. This machine it was called “celerìfero”.

Many years later German Karl Von Drais created a machine same the celerìfero but it has a rudder and it could be drive.

In January 1887 American Thomas Stevens did the first travel in bike around the world. He started in San Francisco and he returned the same city after drived for more three years.

The bicycle has had many changes with the years. In the actually the bike is a famous transportation mean in Europe and Asia, because it doesn’t need fuel and doesn’t pollute the environment; this can be to use in the city or in the town. The people say the bike is the transportation in the future. Many people use to do exercise and practice extreme sports.

Mountain bike: This is a bicycle designed for travel in the mountain.Bicicross: It is an extreme sport and the people to do it need much ability for drive the bike on roads with barriers or ramps.

Freestyle: This is one the best extreme sports because the freestylers should be killed and highly risky to jump in the air.

The Cellphone

One of the most interesting aspects of the cell phone is that it is only a radio - extremely sophisticated, but a radio to end.
The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876, and wireless communication has its roots in the invention of the radio by Nikolai Tesla in the 1880s

To me, cellphone is one of the most important things which was invented, it is very useful because nowadays most of then are very small and you can carry without any dificult on any pocket.
Over time cellphone is no longer a luxury and it became in a necesary object, nowadays most of people has one of them, i think that it became in a important thing in everyone´s life.
The most important reason because i think cellphone is the most important thing is because it helps to stay comunicated in your job, with your family, your friends everytime and everywhere. A lot of times cellphone helps to many persons to claim help,and thanks to that, many lives have been saved.

Nowadays you can find a lot of kinds of cellphones everytime smaller and in a variety of colors, of course some of them in sometimes are very expensive, However, over time these costs reduced thanks to new models.

my favorite invention.

The best invention for me is the computer because by this invention more people are in contact always. The first computer was the MARK1 this was created for the army in the year of 1944 in a university in the united states.
Since of invention of Mark1 the computer to envolve and now the computer is more sophisticated and much smaller than the first computers because the first computers was biggest and did not have much technology as computers now.. The most interesting about the computers is its capacity for comunication through the Internet because trough the internet more and more people always be comunicated with all the world..And you manntienes informed of the news that happen in the world through the internet and computers ..

E-mail

The electronic e-mail is a essential element of the communication because permit to transmit data and messages of a computer another throught telephonic line of conection for microwave of satellite of communication and send and receive messagess for differents directions in differents parts of world , so, you do not that to hope many days or months as in the traditional mail for send a message in a cart and other time more for to receive a response, today you can communicate with you family, friends or another in question of seconds inclusive you can send a petition of work and receive a response , too you can use for to open and to close a business, many teachers and students use very much for to send and to receive works etc.

So every day the e-mail is use for millions of people in all the world, all the companies, schools, universities and the grand majority of people has your e-mail, so, the e-mail has converted in one of the communication middle more use for a lot of people in all the world.
