The last FINAL call for help

En retrospección, el curso de informática comenzó prometedor pero no cumplió mis expectativas. No lo menciono en ofensa al profesor o al curso, sino que yo entre al curso con conocimientos previos que me cargaron durante el curso. El curso tuvo una buena estructura y es excelente para introducir al estudiante a herramientas digitales, pero, el participar del curso con un conocimiento base de estas herramientas limita el aprovechamiento en la clase; lo cual no es una falla del curso, sino el desarrollo natural, ya que parte de mi generación ya esta bienvenida a estas herramientas digitales. Este blog fue visitado por 20 personas durante el tiempo en el que el curso estuvo activo.

Listado de tareas:

  1. Call for Help #1
  2. Call for Help#2 : The Professor Strikes Back
  3. Call for Help#3 :Something about Pictures
  4. Call For Help#4 : Even Garbage Evolves
  5. Call For Help#5 : About?
  6. Call for Help #6 :Referencing
  7. Call for Help #7 :Small work
  8. Call for Help #8: Help The Competition
  9. Programación
  10. Reflexión Final ( Post actual)

Durante el curso, 20 personas visitaron este blog. Opino que la idea del blog fue inútil en muchos aspectos; lo positivo siendo la entrega de las tareas virtualmente. Para las personas que no les interesa la idea de mantener un blog activo por un pasatiempo, el blog resulta, en mi opinión, tiempo y esfuerzo perdido ya que no planeo escribir en este blog en el futuro.

“Captain Marvel” C.H.I.E.F. review

The superhero movie genre has been milked to near death to the point were it starts to milk blood, and the farmer keeps going. We live in a reality were we have more disposable superhero movies than times we got Paranormal Activity-ed slaps to the face. And to make the next installment in the MCU more mediocre, comes a movie with the same formula as almost all of the previous installments but with a HUGE INNOVATION!, it is (apparently) the FIRST FILM IN HISTORY TO HAVE A S T O N G F E M A L E PROTAGONIST!, and it has a busy agenda, but missed all it’s appointments. The certified review of this meeting is for “Captain Marvel”

The movie has the a perfect talent for being as boring as life it self. This comes from the fact that the movie is uninspired; there is nothing in this movie that makes it stand out from all of the other personal attacks made to our wallets, demanding our money with an inflated 3D ticket price. At least “Ghostbusters 2016” used the color knows as green puke to stand out among the garbage. The movie suffers from the Who? What? When? problem we’re used from seeing in movies with a bad script and it CONTRADICTS fundamental statements and events from the MCU, if the movie is part of a “cinematic universe”, then it must follow a path placed by it’s previous entries in the franchise. Special effects in the film go from O K to garbage really fast, the movie aged when it wasn’t even released. In fact, there are rumors from our intelligence team that says that the movie has gotten phone calls from the early 2000, asking for their special effects back.

Don’t go see “Captain Marvel” in theaters, just ask someone what happens in the film or look for a spoiler review online. If you saw the film, then you deserve to have gotten your money taken by “Disney”, you should’ve known from the trailers the quality of the film. The C.H.I.E.F. rating for this film is a 4/10, and will be filled in the database as the movie won’t be remembered in less than a year.

Call for Help#4 Even garbage evolves

The web, a seemingly powerful tool of communication, has turned into an artificial habitat were brain cells go to die, unless it is used in a responsible manner and with dignity; and what better way to use such tool to educate yourself and others. The knowledge that we gather from the internet depends on the way we communicate with it.

Human evolution has been bound to the ability of humans to communicate with each other and their environment by the use of tools and philosophy. With the internet being a form of communication that has been turned into a habitat, it limits the capacity and quality of any possible form of education worthy of progress and logic. The individuals who participate in the internet have a responsibility to learn to communicate with the Internet’s environment to allow a positive form of communication and education.

For the internet to be used efficiently in the education of children, the children must be shown how to communicate RESPONSIBLY and REGULATED with the Internet’s artificial environments and the adults responsible for this new education are required to allow this new form of education to take place and not restrict it’s access.

To answer the question, the internet does help in educating a conscious entity and can have positive and negative effects, giving the entity knowledge but not reason or logic. The sense of logic and morals are shown by other conscious entity which the internet can facilitate getting in contact with but isn’t a direct source.

Call for help #2 : The professor strikes back

As the title suggests, the first call for help attempt was a failure and I am required to expose the role in my life that’s occupied by the internet in exchange of my freedom. Since, you the spectator, are reading this via the internet, i will save all of the basics of what exactly is the internet and just go straight into earning my freedom.

My activity in the web has always been in the pursue of knowledge or recreation as a spectator. I try to not participate in sites like social media as my view towards such sites is as negative as it gets. Such views come from the fact that in these types of sites is that you, the apparent consumer, are the product. This view is backed by the fact that these sites or companies monitor and collect your information to sell it to other companies for different purposes. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/12/facebooks-failures-and-also-its-problems-leaking-data/578599/

In addition to the previous point, it is worth mentioning that such sites are the leading cause of death by CRINGE. The amount of pain inducing cringe spread by just one post alone is enough to kill brain cells and limit the evolving capabilities of the average human.

If the web was absent in my life, i would completely lack the privilege of having knowledge be as accessible as searching in my phone instead of swallowing whole books in the pursue of knowledge or having more options for entertainment. Since entertainment and knowledge are not exclusive to the internet, I would survive without internet EASILY, but in a state of certain ignorance due to the lack of available information made accessible by the internet. But, perhaps our lives would be better without the internet, who knows?
