Spooky story

          In a dark night, there was a man. He walked slowly. He didn't make any noice. He wore up a black jacket and also black trousers that were quite dirty. He was looking at all the directions, triying to catch a boy. The man lived in a haunted house far from the town. They boy wanted to see what the man did at night. People said that he had lived in the town since 1874, but no one had seen him never since his wife died, and once, a woman saw that horrible man, but no one had seen her again.That's why the boy was interested in seeying the man, but now, something horrible could happen to him, so he was afraid and cold in that gloomy night.

Where I would like to travel?

Hi guys!!!!!Well... about where I want to travel, it's a difficult decision.May be, I would like to travel to a different country, such as Germany, The Netherlands, Canada...  I think that it's better to travel far from your country as many rutines we do, in other places people don't. I prefer to travel outside because of that and other reasons, such as you meet new people and you learn about their daily life, and rutines. Also, culture makes you a better person, a person who solve any kind of proble or situation. Also, you'll tolerate other religion and cultures as your own one. Making a summery, travel to another countries is very good because it makes you evolutionate as a person.

Comic

That's my comic about mobiles ;)

Extra Work

Evolution of mobiles:

Nowdays, don't have a mobile phone means no social live. Why does it happend?
Society has evoluted a lot in few years. We use mobiles for everything. At the begining, mobile phones were just to call people, and later we could send messages too. Mobiles were invented to be able to find someone and tell him or her an information they should know in a essential moment when the person is not at home, but today we use it for more things, such as an alarm clock, a digital o video camera, for listening to music and others.
The mobiles evolute each day more and more, and their getting better and better, till we use it sometimes as a computer. Social webs as twitter, or applications for mobiles are used more frecuantly than calls or text messages as you don't have to pay nothing, and these aplicattions for communicating are quicklier and more efficates, cause you can recibe answers and send questions to more people. Young dwellers (teenagers and adults between 20 to 35 years) are the mayority part of the society which have the mobile's adiction. If a teenager don't have his or her mobile phone all time with him or her, he or she feels bad, because  he or she doesn't have communication via tuenti, twitter or other social aplicattion, and it is a real problem, and looks like if this teenager is lost in the world. Teenagers don't know what to do in their free time with out a mobile or a computer that uis used in the same way, to have a inmediatly comunication. Imagine a young person who is with his mobile phone and suddenly the phone fells down and it's broken. You run to the shop and you asked for reparing your phone, but the employee tells him that he needs 2 o 3 days. Even when he needs just 2 or 3 days, you prefer don't wait for it, and you buy a new one who is better and has everything you need. It doesn't make sence, because he's buying something that yhe doesn't really need, but he has adction, and see it is very sad. Perhaps he need a new t-shirt, or in a few dayr is the birthday of his sister, but he prefers a new phone over everything.
In some countries, there's people who have more than one phone and are more or less located in Asia and I think it has relation with the las example. Hong Kong is in China, a country in which millions of people are explotatied so, how is possible that in a group of 1,000 people a bit more of the half part of them have 2 mobiles? Adiction is the answer. Consumption is replacing human solidarity.

Well, as a little summeray. If we continuous in this way, in the future we won't have real, human relationships, because all the comunication will be by chatting, video calls or social webs, and it can be a serious and real problem, and consumption will be developen more and more.
