Free time

Hi classmates! Today, in this blog, I am going to talk about an activity that I like to do in my free time. Lately, I have not had much free time, to be honest. Whatever. I like to draw. In fact, I already mentioned it in a previous post, but it doesn't matter haha. I like to draw people, faces exactly. I remember that when I was 12 I drew a table with a tablecoth on it because I was bored and I couldn't move because I was sick. Lately I have not drawn because it's the end of the semester, so I'm scared right now, but if I have days off, I will draw.

Now that I think about it, I don't now exactly why I enjoy doing this activity, maybe be...

Language

Pagel start by saying that language can implant ideas in your mind. He start with the story of Babel tower in Bible and says that this story is a warning about the power of language. He references this story because God felt that his power can finish with this tower that people want to make. For this reason, God destroyed the tower and scattered the people, bu giving them different languages, to ensure that the tower would never be rebuilt. I think that this opinion about the origin of language it's kind of religious, and maybe he need to investigate with other focus of attention, but it's a good analogy to start. To understand the evolution, he start to talking about chimpanzees. He says that chimpanzees can't imitate, they can't learn from others mistakes. From my point of view, this explains why chimpanzees have live in this way always, doing the same thing for years. In the other hand, he start to talk about Neanderthals. He says that we are not sure that they ...

App: Instagram

Hi again, cool people <3 In this post I will talk about an app I like the most: Instagram. I remember that when I was in the school, when I was 13 or 14 years old, a friend ask me if I had Instagram, and I said no (then I was just a baby who had a facebook account). I did not what instagram was, so, and just out of curiosity, I created an account. Maybe I like it because Instagram have everything that you can imagine hahaha. In 2013, Instagram was so bored, but with the time and the updates, it become funniest than the other apps that I used to use (I think that's why I closed my facebook account, I didn't need it anymore). Right now, I  use it every hour of the day, or more than this, to be honest, and I like it because I can found art accounts with people who share their drawings and paintings, and I love it.  When this app started to be massive, it was so unconfortable to me, because in the past, when I posted my pictures, only my friends and people I didn't know s...
