online games


Online games, are games where multiple people are involved, all at the same time from different computers. Thus transformed into a virtual battle between the competitors, in real time over a network, as we shall see later. Most online games are about war and commands between the characters that the participants choose. Similarly, there are other games online, they are less violent, but these do no attract large audiences. Now , you can play with or without the internet online games. Because if there is no connection, well, you can play in a local area network, with the number of connections required. Therefore, only the required equipment or hardware and that the same system, is networked. Furthermore, we have online games, which are perform trough the internet. These last games are the most used, since they can competed with anyone that connects to the server. So if a people is connected in the united states and china in the same game server, well, these two individuals and many others may share the same level. Today, many of the most popular online games that are purchased must carry a key for the Internet. However, this only gives a limited time to enter a network and play with other contenders. After that, you must pay each time you want to play online. Obviously, this situation changes, if you want to play in a local area network. There are game rooms with lots of computers connected to the line items for mass, and in these cases, you pay only for the time you want to play. However, as mentioned above, what most excites the fans of online fames is playing online with strangers from other countries.

First person who saw the online games

During the 1990s, online games started to move from a wide variety of LAN protocols and onto the Internet using the TCP/IP protocol. Doom popularized the concept of deathmatch, where multiple players battle each other head-to-head, as a new form of online game. Since Doom, many first-person shooter games contain online components to allow deathmatch or arena style play.

History of online games

The first commercial video game that came out was the famous Pong, which appeared in the 80s in a recreation room in California. From Pong, video games have undergone a continuous evolution to get to the sophisticated machines close to virtual reality that we see now in many recreational rooms.

The possibility of using a computer to play on networks started around 1979 when a group of students from the University of Essex created a computer version of a multiplayer role-playing game called Dungeons and Dragons, based on the use of alphanumeric text. Thus, emerged a new kind of games known as MUDs (Multi-User Dungeons or Domains) that will run quickly through the little-known Internet, and emerging the first virtual communities.
However, the real revolution of online games came in 1993 with the creation of the World Wide Web. Users had the option of free access to reduced versions of computer games for promotional purposes mainly, as is the case with the first delivery of Doom. Moreover, the rapid spread of the Internet as a medium of entertainment provided improved technologies for the networking of users and their approach to society.

It is also important to highlight the rise of the game that since the early 90s, are entertaining both children and adults.

Conclusion

In my opinion, the online games are a breakthrough because it allows people to play with people who do not know.
In addition, I think it is a form of entertainment that can help learn, and give a lot of money.
The downside that I see online games is that in some cases, violent games can create more violence, and that is not good when you play with other people.
But in general the online game, do not have to be bad.

Italy's capital, Rome, was for centuries the center of Western civilization. Italy possessed a colonial empire from the second half of the nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. Today, Italy is a democratic republic and a developed country with the eighth-highest quality-of-life index rating in the world.

In the morning we arrived on the seven near Venice and we stopped to breakfast, we were all day in Venice and 5 pm, we took the bus route Florence.
When we finally get to sleep in a bed and a shower after several days without doing so.
In Florence we went to a nightclub, and return at 4 in the morning we went to bed because we were very tired.
The next day, we visited Florence, but in poor condition because they did not stop raining, then returned to the hotel, we went t to another nightclub in the city.
The next day we went to Pisa, to make pictures with the tower of Pisa, and spend the day.
After we took the bus again to Rome to board and go home.
About 8 pm we took the boat journey to Barcelona, and disembarked at the port of Barcelona, at 9pm on the way here from Italy, gave us time to have an incident with a group of Italians.
After dinner at a self-service and spent about an hour talking with rafa and ana on the trip, and we sang a very emotional song.
During this trip, the only menu that there is: Pasta, chicken and French fries.
But despite that, I was busy traveling, the trip was more special, our stay at "Escuela 2”.

William Ockham




William Ockham -

William Ockham was a Franciscan friar and English philosopher who helped mankind, with their works and thoughts.
Made a major contribution to science and modern intellectual culture is the principle of parsimony in explaining and building theories, which became known as Ockham knife, the knife of Ockham was based on the following: the reference to a kind of reasoning based on a simple premise: equal the simplest solution is probably correct.
Following the knife Ockham, the reason was a necessary foundation for people's lives, it was as if marking a law.
Their thoughts:
Occam's position taken on the topic of the relationship between reason and faith and not involve the distinction between them and the granting to each of a particular application, such as Saint Thomas had argued, but its radical distinction and independence. The reason is no longer in the service of faith and the faith needed to clarify the reason of its own dictates. Faith depends strictly on disclosure, the reason has nothing to say, has nothing to add or remove anything to clarify to the divine word. The reason for its part, being a power granted by God to man, in order for this world, has nothing to take to the faith has to resort to natural and other powers exclusively with them to acquire knowledge possible life more perfect man.

My country





my country -

My country is Spain and it is located in Europe, in this country we speak Spanish, but in many regions have their own language, like Catalunya ,Euskadi, Valencia...
The climate here is very different depending on the north or south. In the north you can find in winter temperatures from -5 degrees , and in the south temperatures between 10 and 20 degrees.
In winter you can enjoy the sport of skiing through the high mountains in the north.
The climate in summer is high, usually in the whole territory , between 20 and 40 degrees, except for some places where you can be more or less well. In summer you can enjoy in the Mediterranean beaches coast and enjoy the summer holidays.
The currency here is the Euro, the currency is not only in Spain, it’s for all Europe. Before it reached the Euro in 2000, was the peseta, which was a coin that came with the Franco regime, which is something that we will then explain the policy now
Policy:
Now Spain is a democratic country with monarchy, this happened after Franco, when he died, and now our representative of the country is the king.
Now governs the PSOE, a political party of the left-center, but there are still political parties that follow the Franco regime, now very weak, and other parties seeking the republic.
The typical food here depends on the region , but in the community where I live, the most popular is the paella.

In summary:

- "It's a country that is not bad, but still lacks many things to change, especially in politics that I think is wrong, so I do not like the friends around this country, and I think things will change in future”.

The United States is currently governed by the republican Gorge bush, but this Tuesday 5th of November will be held the presidential elections.
Now politics of Gorge Bush isn’t very good, furthermore its financial system has led to the crisis at the United States and around the world, with its policy against human rights, more tan 200 Americans are judged annually, but the death penalty no matter in a country in wich anyone can buy a gun, and take the law into their account, and when will be a judgements the fault is always of a black person, because that is problem in the United States, the racism, a country that has allowed racism and religious societies that kill people every day.
By these changes, try to get things go a little better,(because the United States are the first power).
This Tuesday are the elections, and it’s of great importance not only for Americans if not for everyone.
The candidates are:
Barack Obama- A democrat that seeks to change the financial system and so be able to end with the crisis.
He tries that racism will disappear from the streets, and he will put more measures for arms sales.
And he tries to the end the war in Irak, but doesn’t want to end the death penalty.

John McCane- Wich is the other candidate, of the republican political party, in the case that McCane wins there will be no many changes: wars, racism, weapons… will continue.

“In resum, some important elections.”
