As part of the social networking activities promoted by Senator Cleominio Zoreda novel, this time asked netizens to express their best wishes for Yucatan.

Job security, investment in information technology, honesty in leaders, educational opportunities, among others, are those that have come out the Facebook page of the federal legislature, standing at the top of good wishes.

In response to the call launched by Cleominio Zoreda will be selected the 10 best wishes to encourage users who have the opportunity to share a holiday meal.

In the context of educational reforms promoted by the senator on social networks and information technologies, users of Facebook have the opportunity to contribute to the generation of a culture to strengthen the media for positive ends and purposes.

As you may recall, recently passed reform signed by Zoreda Novelo, so that the General Law of Education considers the instruction from the basic level in the responsible use of information technology.

“The government is just, that teachers have fair wages and that there are no contracts years if not a year that you can have a fair basification according to the knowledge and skills” were Landy external concept by Montalvo in ‘ fanpage ‘FB.

“My best wish for Yucatan, is that it gives equal opportunities, that poor families have adequate housing and wage insurance. That single mothers or women who are in need of work find jobs that allow them to perform their work in the home, “said Ursula Aldana.

“My best wish for Yucatan is to be promoted as an ideal place for investment in the field of information technology, this type of activities made India a country that used to be a hundred million poor people is now a world power,” Lucia said Cervera.

The activities organized on the first day on Wednesday November 16 at the XI Science Week, we visited two schools in FP, with 38 people including students and teachers. Throughout the day tomorrow, classroom activities in 3005 were three conferences including:

“European Higher Education and Research in Engineering Technology ICT Information and Communication.”

It takes an overview of the college in the EHEA framework, or model of Bologna and deepened in the study of Engineering in the Information Technology and Communications, where graduates require continuous innovation ability and motivation.

Next, we performed several groups for the guided tour of the Telecommunication Systems Laboratories, Electronics, Telematics and Sound and Image. At the end of the day was delivered to the centers responsible for the information material of the School. All participants, both visitors and organizers were pleased with the results of which were very fruitful Conference for both parties.

Moreover, outside the program, teachers and school staff accompanied the students to take a snack in the Cafeteria.

The director general of Issemym, Osvaldo Santin Quiroz, presented little more than 40 records staff of the Unit Information Technology Social Security Institute of Mexico State and Municipalities credited his participation in various graduate coordinated with the System State Information Technology, Professional Development Institute for Public Servants of the State Government of Mexico, the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare, National University of Litoral, Argentina (with a diploma on-line) and the Universidad Iberoamericana, among others.

With Cosmovitral as a backdrop, Santin told those present that to the institute the challenge of technology is one of the biggest challenges since the Issemym for its size and complexity advances to fruition thanks to the technological tools that give life and agility to the different services offered.

“The complexity of services provided and logistic processes can be performed only with the support of a solid technology platform, the information was no longer possible to be handled in isolation, paper, raw, with no real use to decision making and that is where we see how the technological system is one of the main strategies to transform the institution, “he said.

He said the Issemym has not only advanced in the infrastructure and staffing, but also, the most significant achievements in the field of information technology.

He explained that “the Institute is in much better condition to continue to grow, to continue to strengthen its services, with more solid foundations that have a lot to do with a better interface with a better flow of information and above all better equipment that meets all this technological infrastructure. “

In his message to the winners exteriorized Santin, “Now that the governor speaks of the information society are precisely the people you have this possibility, these skills, these qualities, ie, have a great advantage but also a great responsibility “.

“I hope you know understand and know how to value what they represent to the Institute, in the same way that the institute recognizes and appreciates what you represent to function properly.”

He was glad that this staff development program reflects the commitment to provide better services, “we have always said that the essence of the organization are people and as professionals we have better top talent we will have a better organization and that begins to reflect the mood of the title, in the acceptance of citizenship and is what should make us proud. “

Do any of you understand the descriptions given by companies to their mobile phones? Actually, I never have understood and even managed to learn the name that has my cell phone. I prefer to meet their physical and I’m content with that. But for those who do master the names of the phones, I commented that Nokia will have letters in order to be known only by numbers.

Why would serve this change in the way of naming the Nokia mobile? For me, there would be no change in the end Nokia phones will remain regardless of the name that accompanies them. Well, apparently it is necessary to simplify the names only numbers for users and prospective customers have a better idea of ??the mobile which have or are about to buy.

For example, and I share this with people who are as clueless as I, with this new naming system from Nokia, the first number that appears in the name of a mobile is linked to the price of the product, while the other two numbers others highlight a unique feature of the phone. This also gives you the opportunity to present its model Nokia Nokia 500 with 99 new features, and not have to look for new names, because you can simply put a Nokia 509, Nokia 512, and so on until reaching the top 99.

Finally, I leave you with the reasons given by Nokia to set aside letters and numbers only choose when naming their teams:

Do not tell us what to do with our mobiles: Today, many phones are adaptable to various software and hardware, which means you can do a lot of things with them, without being announced for a given task. The ratings of Nokia were indicators, but often not related to what people did with their phones.

Difficult to compare: How to differentiate the C7 Nokia Nokia X7, or Nokia Nokia C3 C3-01. Which one is more expensive than the other?
People feel good about the numbers: Consumers understand the logic behind the philosophy of “the bigger the number, the more you get.” Moreover, as is a system used consistently over time, people learn to recognize roughly what to expect from a model cell using as a reference number that has a name.

Anyway, for me, will always be equal, numbers or letters, I will eventually get to know by what I see outside. That is, color, keyboard, screen ..

In Madrid, he made the fourth version of the “International Congress of Design, Research and Technology Network for Everyone – DRT4ALL”, organized by Fundación ONCE (Spain), for cooperation and social inclusion of people with disabilities. The goal is to raise awareness DRT4ALL “the latest developments in ICT to promote independent living for people with functional limitations and an example of how these advances can all cooperate to provide a more comfortable life and improve social integration the elderly or disabled. “

As detailed by the ONCE Foundation, this international event is a scientific conference where he discussed “various aspects of these technologies with the user experience as a key, and where relevant industries and public administrations and their representatives, who also plays a crucial role in the development of these technologies are an integral part of this event. ” Meanwhile, the objective of the Foundation itself is “the realization of work-integration programs, training and employment for disabled people, and overall accessibility, promoting the creation of environments, products and services globally accessible.

The target audience is for the Congress, academia, universities, research centers and researchers, companies specializing in new technologies and care to people with special needs, users, as well as people interested in technology research and equipment adapted to human diversity, access to information and communication for all, home automation, robotics and telecare.

Note that although the activity has a cost ranging from 50 to 100 euros per person, people with disabilities and their assistants can attend for free during the three days of the DRT4ALL.

Much has been said of the NFC or Near Field Comunnication, for its acronym in English. Communication technology is a wireless short range will mainly make payments from your mobile phone in various centers such as supermarkets or shops of all kinds.

While this type of technology is nothing new in countries like Japan, the European countries will be a reality soon. In fact, most of the new generation mobile phones will have this technology. In this way, and when all the system is crowded it will be possible without our credit cards because all the information from our bank account in on-chip mobile phone.

Thus, by simply waving your mobile phone to the receiver, will detect our bank information and can make the transaction.

While many doubt their safety, being a short-range technology is really difficult for someone to steal information. Moreover, like conventional debit cards will require a password to perform operations. And if you lose or that someone stole our phone, the procedure would be the same if it happened with a credit or debit card, and should contact our issuing bank for cancellation of the chip and that no fraudulent use.

The Gateway DX4850 -45 offers very fast performance with Intel Core chip i5 and strong multimedia capabilities, thanks to Blu – ray drive and HDMI output.

The bad: Being midtower PC makes it a difficult to add a living room, a power supply spare anemia and external ports obviously hurt their ability to spread.

The end result: DX4850 -45 a strange mixture of Blu – ray and performance capability, but if you have space for a PC mid tower both productivity and for the entertainment of disk-based HD, this system can have a certain appeal.

Review: Desktop PCs for home entertainment usually come to us in the slim chassis, which makes the mid tower based Gateway DX4850 -45 rather unique. Application performance is respectable, but Blu – ray drive and HDMI output suggest that this system was designed for the consumption of digital media. Quite convincing PC entertainment and productivity every day.

1 What is information medium?

2 Which means that the media have a way of sequential or random access to information?
3 How we rank them according to the technology used in your configuration?
4) Make a list of at least 8 media find an image of each show its capacity for data storage and gives some general characteristics.
5) Find some images that show how to perform reading and writing data on magnetic media, in an electronic and an optical.

1 – With the constant evolution of computers in recent years, it is necessary that the information already developed by the computer to be memorized or stored in large capacity drives. These units are known as mass storage and are internal or external devices to the computer for storing large volumes of information, both programs and data.
These devices have a fundamental characteristic: the recorded information characters are not volatile, that remains even if power is disconnected.
The stored information will be treated later by another computer with similar characteristics to that was the source of information.

2-Sequential access: sequential access, the reading element of the device must pass through the space occupied by the totality of the data previously occupied space physically stored data comprising the set of information to be accessed.
Random access: the random access mode, the scan element can directly go to the address where the information is stored physically to be located without having to pass through to the stored between the start of the recording surface and the point where stores the information sought.

3-in computer keyboard is an input peripherals or devices, in part inspired by the keyboard of typewriters, which uses an arrangement of buttons or keys, to act as mechanical levers or electronic switches that send information to the computer. After the punch cards and paper tapes, the interaction through the ticker-style keyboards became the primary means for computer input.

4 – The characteristics that must be taken into account on a hard drive are:
* Access Time: Average time it takes the needle on the track and placed in the desired sector, is the sum of average seeks time (on the track), while read / write and the average latency (seen in the sector).
* Average Seek Time: Average time it takes for the needle placed in the desired track is half the time taken for the needle to go from the track more peripheral to more central disk.
* Time read / write: Average time it takes for the disk to read or write new information, the time depends on the amount of information you want to read or write, the block size, the number of heads, lap time and the number of sectors per track.
* Average Latency: Average time it takes for the needle placed in the desired sector, is half the time spent on a full disk rotation.
* Speed: revolutions per minute of the dishes. The higher the speed of rotation, lower average latency.

Companies that develop high levels of agility not only survive this economic turbulence, but also will be the leaders of tomorrow’s markets.

Today’s organizations must identify the change and respond to it swiftly in order to remain a viable option in the market. The ability to detect, anticipate and respond to changes more quickly will provide organizations set strategic direction for:
Respond to changing market conditions.
Increase its market share even in economies that characterize hard as our new reality
Increase sales growth and profitability and improve overall financial performance

Agility is characterized by a cycle, which comprises a series of five steps:
- Detect lies ahead or need a change
- Planning the best action
- Decide on the course to follow
- Communicate to all key participants in the new plan,
- Press for Change.

These five steps are sequential and are executed every time there is a change in the business landscape. The cycle occurs in all levels of the organization on an ongoing basis.
How to facilitate agility in the organization? Technology is the common denominator of all five. It is not the case that only some technologies provide flexibility, but each organization will have a different agenda management challenges and unique architectural footprint that will require different strategies of using technology to support and improve agility. This may represent from a small correction to a strategic reorientation of the company.

In the context of information technology is of interest to measure the agility of a company making a benchmark to compare with similar companies. Eventually provide prescriptive measures to optimize investments in information technology from the objective of maximizing agility.
There are four key attributes that have to meet any investment in information technology to generaragilidad for business:

First, a solution of information technology has to ensure that business operations are reported. You must connect data devices and processes both internally and externally so that people can access information from anywhere and more usefulness;
second, the technology has to turn the company into a more productive by leveraging also systems to support processes and thereby enable the business to multiply the power and impact of its technology and its people.

The technology must be reliable, always available, always working safely and always ready, but AT THE SAME TIME must be flexible to adapt according to changing business needs
finally, technology must provide all of this based on a clear concept and aimed at the best cost / benefit. The consistent application of cost-benefit measurements allows real information about the return on investment.

Any solution of information technology must comply with each of these points to maximize every dollar invested and ultimately generate business agility
Each of the criteria have equal weight and importance to an organization in pursuit of the goal of agility. Developing a framework, it is possible to measure the state of agility in an organization, identify weaknesses and suggest practical solutions so the organization can implement concrete actions to improve their agility and competitiveness portended.

The information technology and communication are a part of the emerging technologies that usually tend to identify with the acronym ICT and refer to the use of computerized systems to store, process and disseminate any information or educational training process.
Over the years, ICTs have evolved to meet human needs and highlighting the television and radio.
Societies today are characterized by diverse and abundant flow of information and communication. In a century we have gone from radio equipment that allowed us to hear voices of remote environments, the black and white film, color, special effects and computer-created characters, of the nearly first TV images showed the landing a man on the immediacy of news and images of world events.
ICTs are mainly characterized by their intangibility (possibility of scanning), immediacy and multimedia applications. They have brought great benefits especially in education but in turn if not given proper use, will find disadvantages.

Therefore, currently the use of information technologies and communication in adolescents is a matter of concern, debate and reflection for many authors, both nationally and internationally. But this concern has not yet been translated into a systematic and organized effort to implement relevant activities for the appropriate use of technology by teens.
For example, one of the major concerns for both educators and the family, about the relationships of adolescents with ICT, is the possibility that appear addictive behaviors that can disrupt personal and social development in the adolescents. The media are the first to emphasize these cases, although there can not be generalized.
You could say that what defines the addictive behavior is the frequency with which this is done; it is the loss of control of the person, and the establishment of a relationship of dependency.
In this regard, seven have been proposed to detect signs of Internet addiction:

* Spending several hours’ online, neglecting important aspects of your life.
* Friends and relatives think you have problems with using the Internet.
* Being young (the younger, more risk must be dependent on the Internet.)
* The use of the Internet creates serious negative consequences.
* You see his reliance on the Internet as a shy, intense activity.
* Keep secret the time you spend online.
* You can not go a day without the computer without connecting to the Internet.

In turn, indicates that this addiction leads to truancy and certain behaviors such as not complying with the schedules chat at all hours and allow interacting with their peers. This addiction is defined as follows: “Cell phone use becomes an addiction when it becomes a repetitive behavior that is pleasurable and creates a loss of control in the subject”

A related aspect of addiction is isolation. Often, the media reported about this effect, produced the use of ICT, particularly in adolescents. We deliver the image of the young alone, locked in his room and escaping from any social commitment to sit for many hours and connect to your computer. Isolation is a risk that reflects the degree of dependence that has every teenager.

On the other hand, the adolescent population and its environment may be affected because of the potential offered by ICT to get lots of information about its users, without being aware of it. The strategies are many: an apparently inoffensive forms or promotions via SMS to mobile are among the most common. Companies are able to easily pass the barrier between public and private, using the ingenuity of users.
Regarding the second problem, the advertising is not specifically distinct from other information in the contents that we deliver ICT. In this respect it is logical that if we study the composition of such web sites of brands and favorite products of adolescents, and advertising that reaches them through mobile phone, it is difficult to clearly differentiate between information and persuasion.
In addition, through the use of ICTs expand the social relations, but also get new features, which do not exist in the real level of interpersonal communication (face to face). In this regard, the influence of anonymity between the participants has been one of the most studied in relation to the personal identity of adolescents constructed in virtual environments.

Finally, there is talk that the issue of violence has been continually involved in video games. The observed high rate of violence in games has been severely criticized. Much of the publicity of these games is based on the violent aspect, noting that social learning theory posits the hypothesis that aggressive play games encourage aggressive behavior. For example, the children imitate or otherwise learn what they see on the screen.
