Writing task 1

These figures show information about how the proportion of people who own a computer has evolved in a period of eight years, from 2002 to 2010.

The first graph reveals that computer ownership has grown continually in this period, moving from almost 60 percent in 2002 to close to 80 percent by 2010. This means that computer ownership has increased around twenty percent during those years.

As computer ownership has grown in general, we can see the same tendency for each education level, the information shown in the second graph. However, the intensity of the evolution has been different for all cases. For example, the percentage of people with no high school diploma and who own a computer increased almost three times in those years, passing from around 10% to above 40%. In the case of high school graduates, the proportion moved from 40% to almost 70%.

People with the most advanced education levels already had high levels of computer ownership by 2002; the population with incomplete college studies was above 50 percent for computer ownership, and approximately 70% of bachelors and people with postgraduate studies had a computer by 2002. By 2010, these three groups of people had a proportion of computer ownership around 90 percent.

My story with the NFL: Part one

In the beginning, I was thinking on writing just a post to talk about this topic, but I get excited whereas I was creating this text that I decided to divide it into four parts instead of letting it as a very long text. At the end of each fragment, I will put the link for the next part. Thank you for reading. First part: Current thoughts and how I started to watch this league  I am writing this post a week before the beginning of the NFL season. Due to the current global situation, and the changes that Covid-19 has brought to the daily life of everyone, this American football season will be considerably different from the previous ones; probably the most remarkable change in this new sportive normality is that the fans will not assist to the stadiums to cheer for their favourite teams. As a Mexican NFL fan, that situation does not affect me directly, because I do not assist to the stadium every single week that my favourite team plays as the local team, however, it will not be the ...

A brief review (and opinion) of Mob Psyco 100

Some days ago, I watched the first and second season of  Mob Psycho 100 an anime that is considered a great show as a result of its animation and the story that it tells us; after I finished it, I really wanted to share my feelings and opinions about this show. Mob Psycho 100 is an anime based on the webcomic, with the same name, created by the Japanese drawer ONE, who is the author of another famous webcomic: One Punch Man . The animation of the first and second season of  Mob Psycho 100 has been in charge of Studio Bones, probably one of the most famous animation studios in Japan, thanks to all the shows that it has produced since its creation; some of its most famous titles are Full Metal Alchemist, Soul Eater, Bungo Stray Dogs and My Hero Academia. I must confess that before I watched this show, I was not sure about what should I expect about it; I mean, I had heard good comments about its animation, but I did not remember what was the story about. Basically, those recomme...

My story with the NFL: Part two

It was the 2017-2018 season of the NFL, and the Philadelphia Eagles were still with zero SuperBowls titles. That fact never bothered to me, and I kept supporting the team despite the recent bad years of the team and the lack of illusion of watching a transcendental season. But in my inners, I was always hoping for seeing a competitive team and able to perform good games and to fight for the biggest prize. However, most of the tournaments finished before the team could reach the final stages. The LII season was pretty different than the previous ones. The beginning performance of the team was good, with some memorable moments, as the victory over the NY Giants with a long field goal in the last seconds of the match, for instance. Nevertheless, it was not exempt from problems, as the injuries of key players, like Jason Peters, Darren Sproles, Jordan Hicks, Chris Maragos. But what was incredible for me was the fact that even after those complications, the team kept playing incredibly, and...
