Hector was a five years old child who lived with his parents and his younger brother in a house. That house was in the old City Manual. In this city, there were no computers and everything was done by hand with paper, pen and pencils. Hector´s parents decided that they would live to TIC, the Technological City, because nowadays they could not continue living like their neighbors in the old City Manual, without computers and under the same conditions as many years ago. Now it is necessary for everyone, especially Hector and his brother, learned early to use computers and live in the wonderful city of TIC, whereas there was the future. The day they moved to the new city, Hector was very sad, because he was leaving her school an all his friends with his departure, but also felt very scared because he did not know what was to be found in TIC. When they arrived there, at first everyone was very happy, because they had a very nice and big house filled with all the amenities you could imagine, but after the excitement of the first moments, everyone was a little nervous because they knew nothing of the new city and could not talk to their neighbors because they all communicate through technology. As they were so confused, Hector had a very good idea. He will go to visit his neighbor to introduce himself and ask how they could learn everything her family need to live in TIC with no problems. When Hector got up the next day had breakfast quickly, got dressed and ran to his neighbor´s house. He knocked on the door, nervous because he did not know who was going to meet, and after waiting a few seconds, a child who was about his age opened the door. - Hello, my name is Iker. - Hi Iker. I come to you because I have a small problem… Before my family live here, we lived in the City Manual and there are no computers or any type of technology, so I had thought that you could explain how I can integrate in TIC. - Do not worry, I will teach you everything you need to know. Firstly, if you want to let you know, you have to create a blog. - A blog? - Hector asked surprised- What´s that? - It is very easy. A blog is a website, usually personal, which publishes regular news, articles or comments on various topics of interest or the life of the author. Can be very useful, because if you want to become known in your personal blog, the neighbors know that you have come to town and can meet you. - Oh, well. I will do one when I get home. - Anyway, if you want you can ask the resident of the house opposite. His name is Peter and he is an expert in wikis. He will help you in your next step. Hector was delighted at Iker´s house because he already had some idea of how things work in his new city. He decided he would go now to see Peter to learn things about wikis. When he knocked on the door, an elderly man, who reminded him of his grandfather, opened. - Hello, my name is Hector. I´m the neighbor across the street and I´ve been living here a few days. - I know it. Iker just told me in the chat. He said you have asked for help with blogging and I have to explain what wikis are. - Yes, indeed. - Well, do not worry, Hector. I´m going to explain in a very easy way. A wiki is a website whose pages can be edited by multiple volunteers through the web browser. Users can create, modify or delete a single text to wiki share and create together. - Thanks Peter. Now I´m very happy because I know how I can start in this world of technology. - I´m thinking you may talk to the girl who lives in that house. Her name is Èlodie and she will talk to you about social networks, which is what you need to be integrated fully into de Technological City. When he finished talking with Peter, Hector went straight to Èlodie´s home. When she opened the door and Hector explained what he wanted, se already knew, because Iker and Peter had been told by an event of a social network which all of them belonged. - And what a social network is? – Hector asked curiously. - It is something very simple that I will explain you in a moment. Social networks are websites that allow users to share content, interact and create communities of similar interests. We have one for all residents of the city, in which we are grouped by neighborhoods and streets. If you want, you can come in and I will help you to join ours. Hector came home very late. His parents were very concerned because they didn´t know, but the boy told them everything he had learned and taught it on his computer. He explained that the main difference between wikis, blogs and social networks is that blogs are copyright pages where the content is represented in sequence and where you pay attention to how to quality and elegance with which they are developed. Wikis are web pages with links, images and any type of content that can be accessed and edited by anyone. It becomes a web tool that allows us to collectively create documents without performing an acceptance of the content before being posted online. Finally, social networks are updated technological tools to maintain a comfortable way the relation established in the real world. When Hector explained this, they forgot their fears, because they realized that thanks to blogs, wikis and social networks could be integrated and communicate in TIC, where they would be very happy and they would have many possibilities for the future from now.
