mp3 player

There are a lot of pieces of technology that we use every day, so, it's difficult to choose one, but if I have to do it, I would choose the mp3 player, because it allows me to listen to music everytime and everywhere. I have an mp3 player for four years, when my father gave it to me for my birthday and since that day, I began to use it a lot. For example, when I'm travelling by bus, cycling or just when I'm in my bedroom or in the park to switch off of the study. For that reason is that I consider that the mp3 player is so important, because it is a good way of distraction, that I use every day because you don't need anything more than time and your mp3 player to use it, I mean that you don't need any other people or any prepartion to do it. I think that if I hadn't my mp3 player, I would be under more stress, because I hadn't one of the distraction that I use the most. Anyway, I have to consider other pieces of technology like necessary for the mp3 player, like the computer or the headphones, because if they didn't exsist, the mp3 player wouldn't work.

MUSIC

Hi people, today, I’m gonna speak about one of my favourites things : music. The music has been considerate like the language of the gods, but I prefer to consider it like the language of all the people in the world, because a music composed in Africa or China, can be listened and untertanded in Chile or anywhere without any problem ( if we consider the music by itself, not lyrics ) and I think that for this reason, the music is very important, because it makes a link between all the people in the world. In my case, i listen music every day ( although i prefer to play it ) on the radio or computer, in websites like grooveshark or youtube, but I think that the best way to listen to music, it is live, because you are not beeing a passive listener, but an active person who not only listen, but is watching too and has an relation more direct with the artist. So, to finish, I invite all of you to go to see live music.

rebelion.org


Today i'm going to speak about Rebelión, a website devoted to broadcasting the news that the traditional press doesn't broadcast. The website is focalizated in Latin America, because the news are published in spanish, but it has news of all the world. The website wants to be helped and served by all kind of groups and people who fight for change this World to create another one with more justice and equality and balanced socially and ecologically. In the website, there is a lot of important intellectual figures like Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, Nestor Kohan or the Subcommander Marcos. I visit this website every day, because it’s my favourite news website because it’s not written by an editorial group, but  anybody can send the things they write and they can be published.
The websites news are organizad by topics, territorios and authors, so it’s very simple to find the news what you want and you can find the news related with the topics you are looping for. So, you are invited to visit it t get informed by this way to be more conscious of the problems of this World
I leave you the link:

The Wall

I think people like films because it's a good way to have a good time alone or with someone else. My favourite film is The Wall, a film based on a Pink Floyd's album of the same name, this musical film was directed by Alan Parker and musicalizated by Pink Floyd. It was written by Roger Waters, who created the story of Pink, the protagonist of the film, who is a rock star and reflects Waters. The film begins with Pink in an hotel room when he remembers his past, when he was a boy, he remembers his parent, who had died in the war, the way his mother treated him, because she was very overprotective and when he was humiliated by his teachers. Pink gets married, but his wife has an affaire with another one while Pink is on tour, so he is shown in an hotel room with a fit of anger destroying everything and after that, he shaves himself completely. In this state, he is found by his manager and some paramedics that inject him and Pink begins to hallucinate that he is a dictator and there is a lot of people who follows and obeys him, but suddenly, he goes to bathroom where he imagines a trial to himself where the judge sentences hi to destroy ¨the wall¨ that separates himself from the rest of the world, exposing his fears to everyone. The film finishes  after the wall is destroyed, when are showed three children playing at the ruins of the wall.
I have watched this film a lot of times, and i really like it because the music and the animations.
