MY EXPERIENCE ON SKIPE

MY EXPERIENCE ON SKIPE

I start to use skype last year when I have the posibility to travel to U.S in a cultural exchange program. I stayed in San francisco for 20 days and in washington D.C. for 4 days, so I had to comunicate with my family in Uruguay.

Skype was the best form of comunicate with them because we can talked and saw as the same time! That's great. Also when I was in San Francisco I meet a lot of people and I live with a host family; "the Chave's family". They are very good persons. Now I have the posibility to comunicate with them. I not comunicated very frecuencly, because is some dificult to connect at the same moment for the diference of hours form u.s.a to uruguay. The diference is too big, but that not a big problem.
When we talk in skype they ask me about yhe school, the C.B.I. proyect in my community, also they met more my family, and I say... that I would love to go again to their home.

Do you think that skype is useful? What is your experience like?

MY OPINION ON SOCIAL NETWORKS

MY OPINION ON SOCIAL NETWORKS

FACEBOOK:

I agree up to a poin, I think that facebook is good for human relationship with others, but sometimes the people use it all the time; exeeded it and never interact with others personally.

In my opinion face to face interaction is more important than facebook! Also facebook is very dangerous, because you give much information about your personal life and everybody will have acces to it. 

People that have acces to your facebook, can copy a picture of yourself, create a facebook profile with it and do or say bad things. It would be a tremendous humiliation. I think that we have to be careful.

Do you know that many people that you don't meet can see your profile now?

THE RIGHT TO ACCESSIBILITY

Accessibility means caracteristics of facilities, programs and services that allow them to be entered or used by individualsdespite visual, hearing, movility, or others imairments.

Nowadays a lot of people have disabilities, like mental, language disabilities, motor, and disabilities that I say before; and THEY HAVE THE RIGHT to can access to all places, like parks, offices, hospitals, schools and many others public places. That public places should be constructed seeing the needs of everyone who used, including people with disabilities. this photograph represent the right of accessibility. You can see a man in a wheelchair and he is loweringthe bus. The bus has a system like a ramp in the door, and the man has the posibility to travel in the bus. 
In my opinion this right is very important because nowadays a lot of people have disabilities and sometimes they can in to some places do the same things like you and me, and they have the right to do all things.
In some places the goverment is helping with this problem and created access to buses and publics places, but, all the society should be helping to promote this right.
