- creating a blog, which is none other than the one you are reading now.
- the world of Internet 2, and the penetration of new technologies in the information society.
I will focus on this last point is that we have discussed in teoría.Tengo to admit that today I heard for the first time Internet 2, and like many of you will not know what is, I explain: is a high-speed computer network involving more than 100 U.S. universities , but we can ask ourselves if we have Internet, why do we need another network? Simply because we offer better services, a large bandwidth, and we can be confident about our data, it provides greater privacy and security.
But of course, parallel to these developments that occur daily in the network, have formed and are still forming groups of intellectuals who either believe the Internet is very important for society, or opposed to new technologies, and of course there are those who are in an intermediate position.
Although, seeing that there are currents and therefore members of society who are opposed to new technologies, we could raise another question: the penetration of these, does increase or decrease? The truth is that this question can be answered graphically and looking at the data out of "eEspaña 2006" or "Report of the Telefonica Foundation in 2006." Are data such as that from 1995 to 2006 we have grown from 26 million users worldwide, to be 1.018 billion, more than 40% of EU citizens used the Internet at least once a week in 2005 whereas, focusing in Spain, access to the Internet has also been growing since the mid-90 (when users numbered 242) until 2005 (Date on which they were already 12 923), but also note that our country is not the ones that have evolved in this technology for the world as we stand between 20 and 35% penetration, exceeding not only much America but also in the Nordic countries, UK, Germany and others.
For its part, the mobile phone itself has visibly influenced the English because we have gone from a 50.93% inclusion in 1998 to 91.80% in the 2 nd quarter of 2005 (although we exceeded invatible, Sweden, with 100% penetration).
Although without doubt the most interesting are the social networking is the phenomenon of Web 2.0, the new stage in the advancement of the Internet. So far we only had evidence perhaps of the networks we build with our friends, colleagues, etc.., Ie those that are more natural, without embarso there is a whole "online community" that constitute what in English is called social networking (social networks, which are working in groups) . And if we are not even the idea of \u200b\u200bwhat is sure he will understand better, citing examples such as "Wikipedia"-where all we ever wanted some information and we can contribute by writing about what's what know-"My space"-stands out above other social networking services - we create for our friends to see how we are and what we do, or "You Tube" that caused so much revolution last year with the campaign MTV's "I love Laura." And within this network, the blog phenomenon also has evolved significantly over time, being considered in Spain in 2005 as the year of "social visibility of blogs" with the adoption of this format by means of Internet communication. But what really makes blogging a social network is nothing more nor less than the fact that ordinary people like you and me can share virtual community with all our feelings, opinions, knowledge-in fact, the phenomenon has been promoted from conflicts like the war in Iraq, or following the U.S. election campaigns, "newspapers.
In short, we must recognize that we no longer move only through a world of "tangible" to some extent, but we have created a parallel world through which we can communicate virtually. And little or much as we love the Internet and other new technologies, we can not close our eyes to reality: the expansion is done every day more and us-let alone a journalist can not stay outside of it.
