girl power?

Hello readers! Today I would talk you about a video called “Social media and the end of gender” In this video Johanna Blakley talks about the “old school” media, the “new school” social media, the gender and the stigmatization.

Firstly she starts talking about the stereotyped and disoriented gender. Then she talks about “old school media” (like TV, radio and videogames), that help with this stereotyped construction.

They understand the world with categories, so, they classified people with a demographic way (for example by age or gender) and with this method they know what you like and what not. With your age they can know the music, books or movies that you like. if you think like that a teenager can`t like old music because she`s not on her music category.

It that sounds strange? No, a lot of people can love things out of they own category and is perfectly normal.  

The “new school social media” logic classified people by what they like; this is more important that your age or your gender.  

Some studies say that woman is on the top of the social media revolution but, is possible that in the future the social media can be a feminist thing? Blakley says no but that scene can make a revolutionary thing, get over with the gender –destined things (like movies or series).

Nowadays, if you want to understand the people, you can get more information asking what they like that asking they age.  

In my opinion I think that the “new school” media thinking is very interesting because we can get the option to choose what we like, instead of determined stereotipes  

GREEN!!!! :D

Some people think that be “green” (an ecologic person) is only for hippie people. Now the cities grow up more and more, just like the pollution on the planet  

The pollution is a serious problem in our lives because these causes illness and kill animals and plants. But if we do little things we can change the world (is not necessary to be hippie to do that). There are some examples of little and big “green” things:  

With seven plastic bottles, newspaper, glue and patient, you can make a little chair or a coffee table. With this idea you can recycle and get beautiful furniture with a little amount of money.

The old woman in the picture is Maria Ponce, she has 78 years old. She built with her hands a colorful house with plastic bottles.

Using a beer or a soda can you can make a cookie shaper, with every shape that you want, is useful for different events and you can help the planet too.

You can get an original and useful rotating table; you can keep all your books and is very decorative. That creation was made with a construction trash, rocks and wheels.     

Using the top of the plastic bottles and an ordinary bag you can made a hermetic bag. With that simple thing you can save a lot of money.

See? There are a lot of different ideas to using things than normally you throw into the trash can. Be green, be happy.       

Turn off your cell phone

Actually technology is everywhere and now is a very important part of our lives. When I walk on the street I can see a lot of people using mobile phones, tablets, photo cameras, notebooks and more! But I think that actually the most important thing in this “revolution” is the mobile phones.   

Now with a cell phone you can watch your mail, play, watch videos, listen music, send instant messages AND call. I mean, that little thing can make the same (and more) that a big computer but you can put it in your pocket.

But remember that each thing have a bad side. I think that the excessive use of cell phone can create an addiction. In that case you are controlled by the technology, now is not a tool, is a necessary thing.

The dependence of mobile phone can break the social relations. Unfortunately see a group of persons together but each one looking their own phone is a reality more and more common.

Personally I have my own “Android” cell phone with mobile internet but I use to play some videogames, send instant messages with watsapp and call. I play the games (pokemon specifically) when I´m alone; I use whatsapp only in special cases and I don´t talk a lot because my call minutes are limited.

Just like me I know a lot of people that don´t need a cell phone on the hands all the time. I hope that this situation never change because is too boring stay with friends and don´t talk them because they are too busy with his phones. I prefer go out without all this technology and be free for a while. 

Be happy and have a nice week!
