Through the pass of the years technology has changed my life in different ways. My first contact with a computer was when I was in elementary school; but it is a wide difference of what is now a computer. I used the computer just to type or to use the “paint” program. The computer-based class was very exciting because it was like free time where we had the opportunity of talking with other classmates and having fun. I used to see the computer as something entertaining and just to play with it. Then I noticed how useful a computer could be; but as everything, the computer and Internet have their advantages and disadvantages.
Internet is a useful way of communication but sometimes it could be not as useful as everybody thinks. On internet we can find whatever we want. It is the easier way at the moment of looking for something. Also you can have communication with people from other countries and to know the different cultures around the world. In the dark side of internet, we have the pornography; children have access to these websites and the parental control sometimes is not enough. Also the internet is tool for kidnapping, the kidnapper use other personality to catch his victims. In addition, internet reduces family time, because kids and teenagers spend their time infront of a computer, they have more time with a computer than they have with their parents.
I could say that I have more time in front of a computer than with people. The way how internet has influenced my life is very important. A computer has become the new notebook for me, it has make it easier, and at least one time in a day I am with a computer. My professors ask for sending the homework by e-mail, and we have blogs and moodles to share the assignments. Also the Internet interferes in my social activities. I can have communication with my friends in the messenger or to share photos and whatever I want in facebook or hi-five. Also I can meet new people in chats or blogs. The internet is part of my life and it is becoming more necessarily for me.
The computer is hundred of things at the same time, so that is why is crucial having a computer and also an internet account. If it is so necessary, what do we could expect for future?. In these days we are facing a new era, internet is a basic instrument for education, communication, bussines and entertainment. Then the computer will be the new television, T.V. is going to be in second place. Instead of saying I’m going to see a the news in the T.V. will be: I´m going to check my facebook. Just like T.V. replaced the radio now the computer is replacing the T.V.

Who is Sandra Lozano?

Some people think that they know me but there are some things about me that you cannot imagine. Maybe you can think that my life is boring or interesting, it is up to you.

My name is Sandra Lozano, I am 20 years old, and I was born in Aguascalientes, México. I have two jobs: as a photographer and as a promoter of a new tequila. Both jobs are very interesting and I like them, but that does not mean that I want to be a photographer or a promoter for the rest of my life, what I really enjoy is to teach English. I am very active, I am always doing something, I am very extrovert and I consider myself as a simple person. I like reggae, banda, rock, ranchera, punk, and ska music; I do not like durangense music because I think it is stupid how the people dance this music. I love to go shopping and to parties. It is important to have fun sometimes these are the little moments that could change your life.

I have had some experiences that have changed my life. When I was in elementary school I had the best learning experience, I passed the general knowledge exam that is for all the students from the sixth year of primary school, this exam is to evaluate students’ knowledge of , and I had the opportunity of being one of the 40 highest scores in Aguascalientes; I felt very proud of myself I met a lot of people and also I traveled with the best students to Vallarta. Also I experienced a big happiness when my nephew born, now he is a 3 year old kid, he is one of the persons that can make me happy even in the worst days. Another experience that changed my life was when I started the career; I met a lot of people and I have learned a lot about what I want to be and to do.

I am always dreaming with many things for the future but I have three main plans that I am sure I am going to make come true. The first one is to finish the career, I want to finish it successfully and with a good grade. The second one is to get a job as a teacher, which is my vocation, and I want to teach teenagers or young people. My principal objective is get into the IEA because is the government teachers’ institute. And the third one is get into a business. I want to open a clothes store, I love fashion and designing.

Maybe I am not the best person but I feel happy with the way I am living. All the experiences that I have lived are the basis of what I am. I had made some mistakes and all that mistake made me learn about the life and the people who is around me. I hope that everything I have planed becomes true. I know that I am able to do whatever I propose myself.
