¿¿Social Webs?¿What For??

 Hello again readers! 

   This article is directed to both bands, parents and teenagers or offspring. Here I'm going to explain the advantages and disadvantages of some social websites, I only know about Tuenti and Twitter but I hope you will find it useful.

 First I'm going to explain you the general advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages:
  • You can speak with friends.
  • You are able to share pictures, videos...
  • You can meet people very easy.
  • You can speak with your far away friends.
  • You are able to make group conversations.
  • You are able to follow matches over Twitter.
Disadvantages:
  • If you have a public account strangers can see your photos.
  • The danger of ciberbullying.
  • There are many molesters in Facebook who can blackmail you.
  • The risk of the hackers.
      Maybe there would be more vantage and drawbacks that some expert people can explain to you, but from my point of view those are the most relevant ones. Well, we have analyzed the good and bad things of the social websites, we have seen that there are more advantages than disadvantages but those disadvantages are very significant, moreover you can avoid these insecurities changing the settings of any of the indicated social webs, for example: Changing the account from public to private and deactivating the location sharing on Twitter, or in Tuenti you have more options of security, you can share your account and photos with whole Tuenti or give permission only to your friends (there are also more options).

If you want more information about the dangers of the net, here you have some very interesting links:

Speaking about the real risks of the social webs, here I leave you one dramatic of ciberbullying and blackmail, a video of a girl that after she made the video she committed suicide:
 


Summarising all the things I have written, I can say that in my opinion the social websites are very useful and interesting in spite of the dangers they have, so the only thing I leave to say is... Enjoy the web and my blog!

The melody of music


Hello again readers!

I think that I'm not the only one who likes listening to music, am I wrong?

Everybody likes listening to music, but everyone doesn't have the same tastes, there are many different genres for many different people and here they will appear some of them. Personally I prefer Ska, Reggae or Rock styles, so the first mentions will be about those.



Ska
Ska is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s, and was the
precursor to rocksteady and reggae. Ska combines elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. In the early 1960s, ska was the dominant music genre of Jamaica and was popular with British mods. In my opinion, one of the best bands are: SKA-P, Vendetta...
Here you have a song by Vendetta:




Reggae:

In the genre of Reggae we have a God, a man who sings as well as the angels. His songs have the power to move thousands of people. Obviously I'm talking about Bob Marley. Bob Marley (6 February 1945 – 11 May 1981) was a Jamaican singer-songwriter who achieved international fame through a series of crossover reggae albums. Starting out in 1963 with the group the Wailers, he forged a distinctive songwriting and vocal style that would later resonate with audiences worldwide. The Wailers would go on to release some of the earliest reggae records with producer Lee Scratch Perry After the Wailers disbanded in 1974, Marley pursued a solo career which culminated in the release of the album Exodus in 1977 which established his worldwide reputation. He was a committed Rastafarian who infused his music with a profound sense of spirituality.

Rock&Roll

The legend of the Rock&Roll is considered Elvis Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977). This man was an American singer, musician and actor. One of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as "the King of Rock and Roll", or simply, "the King". If you want more information about him, click here. But personally, I prefer the Punk-Rock band ''Green Day''.
As I have said above, Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1987. The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist and backing vocalist Mike Dirnt, drummer Tré Cool and guitarist and backing vocalist Jason White, who became a full member after playing in the band as a session and touring guitarist for 13 years.
