CHRISTMAS TOPIC - TECHNOLOGY AND CHRISTMAS, RISKS

"I am going to download a christmas postcard and share it" or "I received an incredible pffer of products to 50% of an online store, I am going to enter for look" This things that we do are dangerous. In christmas, more than ever, we share our devices (this increases the possibility of infection or malicious access to the data) Also, we look for offers for gifts or funny files to share with friends and family (visits to pages that contain malwares, involuntary downloads of virus ...) To this we add that we accept invitations from people who we don´t have a lot of contact  or  we connect to public WiFi networks (stations, airports, etc..) for take look at our email, with this, security risks increase too.

This are some tips for the safe use of our technology devices for Christmas:

1. Always keep protection updated of our computers and other devices.
2. Prevent access to WiFi networks of public places.
3. Don´t share devices with thirds.
4. Prevent messages with suspicious offers or put our data.
5. Control surfing habits of younger children, they have more time and they are more exposed to the risks of the web.

CHRISTMAS TOPIC

IS very important that we conserved our costumes.Spain is a catholic population and we don`T forget the Mary joseph and Jesus.Is good that we catch other costumes for example Noel:)but we must believe in three magic kinds:)I love Chistmast and I want that you wath the secret of Cristmast.I hope you like it.Merry Christmast:)

CHRISTMAS TOPIC - ENERGY

In cristmast the light is the most important because in the street there are trees with light,balls light....and in our house ,in family´s eatting we need light all time.What kind of energy do we use?Well,I explain the type of energy
1-Electric energy: we use in produced light,we tranform in heat, in produce cold.(air condicional,fridge,cooker)
2-Chemical energy: we use in car,it is a transform chemical in mechanical.Also in the cooker of natural gas 3-Wind energy:in this case we change the mechanical energy in elctrical energy and we use energy from the air
4-Light energy:
5-Nuclear enegy:we transform in electrical energy Also we use energy of the animal but it is not frequency.
We use all every day :)

  

CHRISTMAS TOPICS - SANTA AND HIS GIFTS, FULL OF TECHNOLOGY!

Christmas holidays have arrived and the most of the people think of gifting technology, the star gift of this holidays: electronic tablets, mobiles, laptops, video games, etc..

OFF TOPIC - VIDEOGAMES CHANGE OUR BRAIN?

This are two opinions about about how they affect to the brain:

1. Most of people have played a game in the last year. When we play a lot, changes occur in our functions like our capacity. Also, play can be associated to changes in certain areas of our brain. It promotes obesity, unsociability and violence. 

2. A benefit of this vice is that scientific evidences increases to the contrary affirmation, as long as they are not abused, video games are positive in many ways. Another study shows that our hobby can change the brain in a positive way. Play improves memory, creativity, decision making, perception, hand-eye coordination and night vision. The investigators compared the play activities such as learning to play an instrument, read or memorize urban maps.

What do you think? Videogames are positive or negative?

SUPER OFF TOPIC - POST 50!

Welcome to a super off topic: In TechnoMind team, we are celebrating, this is our post number 50 and we wanted to do something special! Our blog borns in a weekend of October, the 12th of this year with the intention of publish posts related to the topic that we have been seeing in technology classes and other interesting things. I think that we have learned a lot with it about things that  i didn´t know that exists with my post and with the post of my mates and it has made that at the time to study this was easier. Also, i learn a lot about a blog and informatic things.

In the first classes of technology, we saw a video about work in teams. I think that in my team we´re all producers and we pull on the cart.

We try to post all weeks about the unit that we´re seeing in class and also, about things related with technology called OFF TOPICS (because they aren´t related with the unit that we are seeing) The background of the blog is a MAN FORGING because the day that we started with the blog, we were seeing that in class and the title of the blog TECHNOMIND comes of <use your technomind>. The symbol of our blog is our pet, a monkey, called TECHNOMONKEY.

I hope we will go better and better!

EXERCISES - MIND MAPS UNIT 4

UNIT 4 - 3, 2, 1...RECORDING

This are the important things for me at the time to record a video:

- Have loaded the hole camera.

-When we´re are going to recording a video, we have to do a good introduction in which the ideas be clear and precise like a summary, capturing the attention of the audience from the minute 1, but not very long.

-With HD in cameras, the quality of our video will be better (do not need a professional camera) Also, we have to prevent movements and tremors (we can use a cube). The light is very important, if we are recording in a closet site, yo should have a lamp, window (sorry if you like the window in the background, but we will not see anything)...in front of you (not much but not many light). See how it looks before recording.

-Add videos, photos and calls attention to communicate effectively. 

-Talk loud and clear! Loud, but not screaming. Clear, speaking well and not very fast.

-Test before record, test the camara and what are you going to say.

-Care with noises, in silence sites so that you hear.

OFF TOPIC - HOW MANY COMPUTERS HAVE VIRUS?

A 36´9% of computers in homes have virus and a lot of people don´t know it, this is because when we surf the internet we  download unknow files and we open unsure pages and links. 

Also, the use of computer security measures increased in last years. People use antivirus and the segurity of buying on-line increases too. In social networks most people have their  information private. But, people think that would have to be free tools and better control of what happens on the network.

UNIT 4 - POLLUTION

The pollution is a ecosystem formed by a chemical.
The pollution effects in our world because it is destroying, we have to stop, we won´t throw papers on the floor and in the sea... If we stop the pollution the world is better. Together we can.

THE ENVIRONMENT - We can to help our planet?

The people thought during a long time that the climate change was a normal phenomenon , but the scientists discovered that this there wasn't true . They discovered that the humans was producing  this changes because we are contaminating the world , with deforestation , producing a lot of rubbish like plastics , the smoke of the cars and a lot of  more things .

The global warming change it's a very important problem that affects us and there are a lot of  global organizations (like Greenpeace) that try to solve it , for that we can live in a good  lives conditions in our planet , the Earth.

But normal people, obviously, also can to protect the Earth.

I try to walk always i can ,instead off take the car , recycle , and never throw rubbish in park or any site .
this is how i try to help the earth , and you ?
what actions do you do to protected our planet ?

Sorry for rare words its a difficult vocabulary

OFF TOPIC - HOW CAN BE USED OLD TELEVISIONS?

Imagine that your television works, but it´s the time of buy a new one. But...what you should do with your old TV? If you left it in the trash near your house you´re doing something wrong, some materials of  theirs are very pollutant (like phosphorus)  They have to be recycle, with a method we can recover the glass of televisions and use it for produce ceramic tiles. 

OFF TOPIC - WIRELESS ELECTRICITY?

The electricity that we use in factories, houses, hospitals and other buildings  is carried by wires. But, what do you thing if I say you that there was an inventor who discovered how  transport electricity without wires?

Nikola Tesla discovered a lot of things, one of them was this and it was called "Tesla effect" in 1891. He designed a bobbin with an exploder that produce an electricity shock.
He got turn on bulbs without wires but he needed a lot of money for improves and changes. This was negated by the government and the experiment finished.
Tesla died and his experiments were added in the museum of Nikola Tesla.

UNIT 4 - GLOBAL WARMING

I think global warming is destroying part of the world, as several parts of the world are defrosting.

UNIT 4 - DOCUMENTARY GLOBAL WARMING

In this video you can see a easy idea about the global warming.The nivels of CO2 and the climate change.The scientifics explain us the real of the global warming .It is a good documentary. Hope you like it:)

UNIT 4 - HAS THE GLOBAL WARMING ADVANTAGES?

The people that see the global warming as a problem perhaps they don´t know that it can brings advantages to the planet and the humanity, there are some:

• Mountains grow (when ice will be eliminated)
• More time for us (carbon dioxide will do that earth rotate slower)
• More effective evaporation ( by the dissolution of the oceans)
• Largest jellyfish  (best for them because of the temperature rise)

This are some advantages, but there are a lot of disadvantages and we shold care our planet.

UNIT 4 - THE GLOBAL WARMING, IS A LIE?

"The great global warming swindle"this is the name of the documental that defends just the opposite that Al Gore says. This documental said the objective of say that the global warming is a great problem is the economy, population control,etc. put carbon tax and prevent third world countries develop putting obstacles. It defens that Al gore only says lies in his documental. The climate is changing, yes, but always are changing and it not a cause of the global warming and the man is not the problem it.
What do you think after watching the two movies?

UNIT 4 - GLOBAL WARMING AFFECTS POLAR BEARS

Polar bears are affected by the global warming, the ace is disappearing in the Artic in an alarming proportion. The ace is the "house" of the polar bears, they need this ace for hunt and go to other sites.

One problem of this is that if the ice is desappearing, they can´t move it and they haven´t got anything to it and they die. In the last years they have begun to eat other polar bears.
Other problem are the increasing of the temperature in the coverts of the polar bears, the rains throw it and they´re protect in them.
