Facebook and Twitter as means of communication

Good Morning friends,

With my first coffee in the morning …

New technologies  helps a lot because they are accessible to everyone, are very effective, immediate and reach all over the world.

Social Networks are a key element in promoting the campaigns of political parties, business processes of citizen participation or social movements. For example the website of Barack Obama opened http://change.gov/ a section invited citizens to submit their ideas for the new gobernment.

Facebook and Twitter is breaking molds not only in Western countries, but worldwide.

Zuckerman, an expert on the impact of new technologies in the Third World and co-founder of Global Voices Online.In Thrid World countries, however, radio remains the fist, he says, althought closely followed by the multimedia technology of mobile phones, which today are already using about 3,000 million people.

Internet and the new economy

Good Morning friends, how are you?

With my first coffee of the morning  I was thinking about the relationship of the Internet and new economy.

What is happening in recent years? That almost all the inner workings of a business,relationship with suppliers and customers is being done by the network. As well as the transformation of the functioning of the capital,as schematically the center of global economy is glabalized financial markets that operate through connections between computers.

This is the aspect of the new economy it is true that the development  of the uses of the Internet begins the first in those high-tech companies but from there it spread rapidly to all types of businesses by creating a new model of corporate organization.

But information and knowledge through the network does not arrive at the same tiem to all countries,this is the case and that 15.6% of the world’s people are connected to the Internet.

We emphasize that LatinAmerica  was the fastest growing in the last four years in which Internet accesss is concerned. The penetration of global Internet population in Africa 4.7%, Latinoamerica/Caribe 41.7% y Asia 12.4%.

– Actually for the development of a country is important to the development of new technologies –

“School must change its traditional teaching towards a model designed to develop competencies and skills in digital literacy and collaborative work”

Skype: Speaks of business face to face whereever you are

Every day it’s easier to have international meetings,business and investment elsewhere in the world thanks to the Internet.

Transatlantic meetings have served for business,to revisit some other business opportunity. Video conferencing and video calls can now be free between Skype users, see your client during a call will not have any cost,regardless of where in the world where they are.

Face to face communication is very important to strengthen relations,helps you read the message body and can help avoid misunderstandings.

Obama visits Google

Good Morning friends,

How are you?  with my first coffee of the morning I was thinking about Obama’s visit to the headquarters of Google  in Mountain View California, which took place some months ago.

The words of democrat were ” Help Me to do it, Help Me to change the world, in the same way that Google has done”.

 Obama stated the importance of technology and innovation that has changed the world.
His attempt to reach the technological revolution to all parts of the world to facilitate a future of prosperity.

 Among the objectives is that Africa and parts of Asia will have the possibility of connected to the network.  More than half of the donations from Google employees have been for political Obama.

“Need to improve technologies in developing countries”
