              Podcast is closely related to RSS and consists of audio, video, PDF, files... You can download directly to a PC, Mac or mobile device through web syndication which you are subscribed. The word Podcast comes from the joining of two words which are: Broadcast and iPod. This is due to the succes of the previous MP3 players from the iPod Brand. While podcasting you can subscribe to different files which you can checked regularly for updates. This means that you can listen to the content on your handheld device, iPod, Blackberry...

IT in XXI

                 Information Technology in 21st Century

                  Nowadays everyone uses computers, cell phones, tablets... since they make our life easier and they are simple to use. I normally use computers, cell phones and tablets on a daily basis because they are fast, easy and fun. Even my grandmother has learned to use a tablet and a smartphone.

                  Firstly, cell phones have substituted old fashioned analogic fixed telephones. Cell phones further evolved to smartphones which have fascinating apps, an internet application and are incredibly simple. Moreover global brands like iPhone, Blackberry, Android have created the best smartphones to use. For instance, I use a blackberry in a daily basis which helps me to communicate with my friends in a cheap way. I use three different types of smartphone instant messaging which are: whatsapp, blackberry messenger(BBM) and liveprofile(LV). Whatsapp and liveprofile allow me to communicate with iPhones and Androids which helps me communicate with even more friends. BBM is a very fancy application, but I can only communicate with other Blackberry.

                  Secondly, most people use computers in their leisure time or to work. Computers have begun key and central in our daily life since they do make our life easier. Software enterprises lead the benefits list, like Apple, Microsoft Windows... I use computers everyday to complete homework, disconnect from the world and to comunicate with people in social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Tuenti...

                  In essence, cell phones and computers are the two main developments that I use on a daily basis. Everyone should learn how to use computers and even to master some computer programs. Technology affects our present, and will affect our future.
