The social media revolution.

In the past, social Media Companies believed if one person had been a member of a certain demographic group, he was predictable. Nevertheless, it changes, in actual social media together with networking; we’re able to connect with people quite freely and to redefine ourselves in the world, because these groups aren’t rigid now. The researchers have found out an important thing, the most people which accesses to the internet is the female gender. So they are really driving the social media revolution. Because according to the statistics, in every single age category women outnumber men and in their use of networking technologies, also they dominate the social media space. In addition it has impacted the popular culture, for example, you can see a lot more female characters in cartoons, games and TV shows. Johanna Blakley says maybe the chick flick could be an importan category of movie.

In my opinion, the media companies transmit a misconception about gender. They show an unreal concept of feminity and masculinity.  Unfortunately, women are more influenced about this concept and are affected visibly greater than the men. Maybe, the companies take advantage of this susceptibility. Other researches also talk about this phenomenon, according to surveys, historically, women have been enthusiastic users. Pew Research Center (http://www.pewresearch.org/) shows, between December 2009 and December 2012, women were significantly more likely than men to use social networking. Then, they could participate in the networking but they could also be victims of this social media. 

Quebrada de La Plata

An important enviromental issue for me is Quebrada La Plata. A mine installed a long time ago in a hill named Quebrada de la Plata located in Maipú, which is a municipality of Santiago. In this area there is a diversity  of flora and fauna, but it will be in danger. Many organizations have interested in protecting of those species and vegetations which will be affected by pollution. The most important danger is wáter pollution through underground aquifers. This aquifers supply potable water to Maipu.

A new world of Social Media: creativity, trolls, popular knowledfe and other

In recent years technology has allowed many advances in our lives. The way to comunicate is not the same as before. Nowadays through media such as the internet, you can comunícate with your friends and family quickly. It has allowed the emergence of a new world: social media.

Social-media technologies take on many different forms including magazines, Internet forums, weblogs, social blogs, microblogging, wikis, social networks, podcasts, photographs or pictures, video, rating and social bookmarking. This is a new door to creativity, leisure, company and exchange of thought. In my personal opinion I feel empowered.

I usually use social media sites. It’s so good, you can help promote creativity, interaction, and learning through forums and “threads”. The threads are many comments about a topic, its main characteristic is all can write their opinion freely. Sometimes, it becomes too entertaining and you can learn many useful things. However there is people who hate the world and waste their times writting nonsense things, their aim is to offend the other. They are named  “trolls”.

Also, It can help you with homework and class work. Stay connected with peers, and interaction. And it’s very good.

In addition, other interesting thing is the informal and popular knowledge. I have learnt many such interesting about this, for example, I learnt how to win all levels of Pokemon. This was my favorite game of the childhood. I couldn’t never won it. I tried many times with this game, but I always lost it. Until this time I felt so sad. But I find a wiki-pokemon. This is a page wich you can learn all about pokemon games. What I liked is this a collaborative encyclopedia for everything and anything that is related to the Pokémon World. There was 6,582 articles!! So I feel so empowered
