As much as we try to resist, the matter this very modern globalization eventually spend over sooner or later. And in all respects, one of which is language. The concepts cross borders so fast that installed between us without giving us time to assimilate, let alone develop them, so often abroad than generally defined in English, which remains and is beginning to be used. Perhaps this is an incentive for that language called Esperanto, so often romanticized as abandoned.
And is that often there is no way, except we use a phrase, to define concepts that are summed up in one word. What is a GEEK?. The word is not new but recently it is gaining by leaps and bounds so as to be incorporated into everyday language and even the names of the companies. One of these newly emerging and with whom I had contact with the latter week is Geeksphone.
Not being an official term referred to a hypothetical Universal Language Academy, the definitions of the term are so varied on all sides and some bring their nuances. I understood that it is a term applied to people who try to stay up to date with technological timing issues, such computer or computers, and "chacharrería" associated. Some more than others, depending on our abilities, our knowledge and our desire, but try to be the end or at least the penultimate in everything that is emerging again, for ourselves and even the children we squeeze a great time in that new technologies, by themselves or their friends or classmates. I got home with the comment that so and so told me that his father has bought this or that device is the order of the day.
I personally have resisted some aspects in particular. I do not know if I'll be "geek" or not or whether I will be in some ways yes and in others not. Two topics that I have resisted thus far have been in mobile phones and browsers for the car.
One of my good friends has long been involved in this but for several months, another decided to jump, qualitative and quantitative, and move from a simple mobile phone a "smartphone." I do not know if there is a English word that defines this type of equipment that are the least is a mobile phone, as they will have all the components of a computer, such as operating system, memory, processor and other, in addition to being supplemented with everything that modern technology offers: GPS, bluetooth, camera, wifi, NFS, proximity sensors and motion and I guess some things that I forget. A lot of acronyms and new words that reflect and contain a wealth of things difficult to translate into Castilian and even many other languages.
I continued until three days ago with my old cell phone that had completed at least five years and that made me Pearl function, plain and simple phone. I was missing a whole world but I resisted because all things new and so many possibilities require time, dedication and learning that he was not willing to spend, especially since I have many other willing to devote the time and did not meeting.
But an event that will start at least a smile from reading it convinced me to come into this world after a visit to Mr. Rock a few days ago, must have opened the cover of the mobile in my belt and get out the aforementioned mobile went along with the rest of the toilet. I regret the pollution from the stack that I will have resulted in sanitation and drainage and also regret the loss of my SIM, another word. Overall, I've been without phone a few days until you send me a duplicate card and I do with another terminal. Some old is at home, but stays with it for the phone companies I'm afraid that is not free and can not use my card to be from another company. Another day we will discuss these promotional tricks that you think they give you a phone but have you hooked in exchange for a few months having to endure their whims in their decisions and tariff changes.
As I have not stay in my company mobile phone, I'll say here and now that is Simyo, imposes the purchase of an appliance in the free market. It's time to not resist any longer and move from simple mobile "smartphone" because although at first not explore and exploit all its possibilities, will always be there to play when I feel like. The prices are exorbitant, costing more than a smallish gadget that every one of these mid-range laptop. Technology and innovation must be paid.
I aimed the world "android" and I found a device sold by a English house recently created almost seems to be walking through this world with good ideas and good standing. This is the model of the house Geeksphone ZERO is on sale for a few days for 179 euros, a negligible amount, but compared to what they actually cost another similar terminals, although limited in their growth potential by own brands, cheap. There seems to be a lot of strength and a lot of animosity in this new adventure and I agree with her enthusiasm and excitement. By the way I hope to kill the other case pending, the browser, as this gadget allows the incorporation of maps and use it as a browser.
gather Tuesday morning at the store ZERO and put it in motion. And agrees to use me and use a number of hours in everything surrounding the start-up and preparation and evidence of everything that operating system "Android" has accommodation in a gadget as small.
