What do you think about electronic forms of communication such as Facebook, Twitter, etc?

What can I say about social networks? Everybody would agree that they are the greatest invention of all the times. Currently, people have an amount of accounts in Facebook, Twitter, Instagram… so that, they can keep in touch with peers and family.

On the one hand, being registered on social networks brings us a lot of benefits. Sharing photos and videos with our friends, commenting on some issues of our interest and sending messages are some of them. However, unless we use them properly, we will get us into trouble.

On the other hand, there are other electronic forms of communication which are used by teachers and students, such as Moodle and Edmodo. Teachers post some extra information and immediately students can see it, as well download and print it.

All in all, I am really into social networks, particularly in Facebook. A year ago, my cousin went to Italy to study History in the university. He spent a whole year there, and thanks to Facebook, I could see every place he visited. Besides, I use WhatsApp too. I am always chatting with my friends!

Latest viral video to watch!

In this essay I shall examine what makes a video go viral. By the way, the first video to go viral on the Internet was Dancing Baby which is a 3D animation of a baby dancing the cha-cha, released in the late 1990s. Recently, a YouTube manager has shared the top five tips to connect with the audiences, and I am going to write the most important ones.

First of all, caring what we share. It’s because people are more likely to share content when it says something meaningful or valuable to them. Working together with someone famous, since if a famous promotes you; his fan base will engage your content. Last, but not least, knowing that you aren’t alone, since there are lots of great tools and resources available to help you.


Currently, our social networks are plenty of memes, but what are they? A meme is a picture or video with an amusing caption that a lot of people share with each other online, usually with peers. This word was invented by Richard Dawkins to represent an idea or concept that spreads in human culture in a similar way to a gene.

To sum up, I think that thanks to these pieces of useful advice we can post something on the internet and almost immediately, it gets passed on very quickly from person to person online, that is to say, it goes viral. Indeed, this is good if your aim is to promote yourself or something of yours.

Rascals are no longer just naughty boys

Nowadays, current rascals are very different from the old ones. Some people say that children become naughty because their parents don’t give them a good education or parents don’t pay enough attention to their little children. 

However, others say that it is a problem created by our society since people spend too much time on the internet. Futhermore, most of them would rather spend time in social networks than get together with friends. Therefore, if they don't share time in society, they won’t be able to learn rules.

And that is not all, when naughty boys get older, they might become a bad person. Indeed, there are a lot of wicked people who injure innocent people, as it happened in Barcelona some days ago. They just did it by fanaticism, actually. 

In conclusion, it is clear that bringing up children is a difficult task, but older people have to do it well with younger people if we want to have well-behaved women and men in the future. By the way, there is a proverb that says “like father like son”.

What's about cyberbullying?

The topic I am going to deal with in this composition is cyberbullying, so it is important to define it. Cyberbullying is the use of electronic communication to bully a person, typically by sending messages of an intimidating or threatening nature.

Currently, more and more people, especially teenagers, are suffering this problem. In schools, teens usually upset other because they don’t like what they are like, if they are shy or not talkative, or even their style of dress. This later becomes in rumours, teasing, lies, and harassment every day and in some of the cases this situation brings the victim to the grave.

According to a report, education is the key to fight any type of bullying to children. It is said that unless we teach children about cyberbullying and its consequences, it will be more difficult to combat it in the future. Today, there are a lot of campaigns against this issue, so many famous people are eager to help victims, as well.

On the whole, I think that it is very important to make people aware of cyberbullying, how we can prevent it and also how we can help the victims. In all schools there should be specialists who would offer their support and with whom to speak clearly about the problem.
