"a gleaming blue and white jewel." He described the Earth astronaut Edgar Mitchell as he gazed into the dark vastness of space.
God put special care in creating the planet and prepare it for human beings lived in it. No wonder that angels, to see it finished, you feel driven, "shouting in applause" (Job 38:7). The same thing happens to us as we explore this wonderful home. We were impressed by the large number of complex ecosystems and natural processes that make life possible. For example, green plants use water, light and carbon dioxide to make food. Through this process, releasing oxygen into the atmosphere we breathe then.
But who was responsible for looking after the Earth? The Bible reveals that God has entrusted the task to man (Genesis 1:28, 2:15). However, to preserve the ecological balance, it was necessary for men to love their home land and wanted to keep it in perfect condition. But they had freedom of choice, so there was the possibility of abusing the planet and decide to squander their resources. And that is precisely what has happened. Of course, the results of such negligence and greed have been disastrous.
Here are some :
1) deforestation is reducing the planet's capacity to absorb carbon dioxide, which helps to create conditions more extreme weather , 2) indiscriminate use of pesticides destroys entire populations of insects that perform as essential as the pollination of crops, 3) overfishing and pollution are decimating the fish in the rivers and seas, 4) over-exploitation natural resource reserves are leaving to future generations, and even believes that global warming is accelerating. According to some environmentalists, the retreat of glaciers and the fragmentation of icebergs in the polar regions confirm that warming.
Seeing the increase in natural disasters, some would say that the planet is fighting back, or even revenge-of human beings. The truth is that the earth belongs to God, and he allowed us to live in it without giving anything in return (Genesis 1:26-29). However, the global situation shows that many people have no interest in caring for this beautiful home. They are too busy with their selfish ambitions and projects. Since then, have proved a dismal tenants. As predicted in Revelation (Apocalypse) 11:18, "are ruining the earth."
But the Bible foretells that Jehovah, the Creator of all the planet's vital ecosystems, will "leave" these tenants (Zephaniah 1:14, Revelation 19:11-15). Before irreversible damage, the almighty God will intervene in the situation, even before what may believe (Matthew 24:44). Undoubtedly, only God can save our planet.
Definition: The abode of Lord God and faithful spirit creatures, a region invisible to the naked eye. The Bible also uses the term "heaven (s)" in several other ways, eg to represent God himself, the faithful spirit creatures organization, a position of divine favor, the physical universe other than Earth, the expansion surrounding the planet Earth, human governments under the domination of Satan, and the new government celestial just for the Lord hath invested with power to Jesus Christ and his heirs.
Was there all of us in the spiritual region before we were born as humans?
John 8:23: "[Jesus said] 'You are from the regions below, I am from the regions above. You are of this world, I am not of this world. '"(Jesus had come from the spiritual region. But as Jesus said, other men had not come from there.)
Rom. 9:10-12: "When Rebekah conceived twins [...] when not yet born or practiced anything good or vile, for the purpose of God continue regarding the selection depending, not of works but of Him who called, told her: 'The greater the child slave.' "(Of course, if the twins Jacob and Esau had previously lived in a spiritual region surely would have made a record of acts based on his conduct there, right? But it was not until after birth as humans when it made such a record.)
Will the sky every good people?
Ac. 2:34: "David [whom the Bible refers to as a 'nice man at heart the Lord '] did not ascend to heaven. "
Mat. 11:11: "Truly I say: Among those born of women there has risen one greater than John the Baptist: but he that is of children in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." (So John did not go to heaven when he died.)
Ps 37:9, 11, 29: "Evildoers themselves will be cut, but those who hope in the Lord are those who inherit the earth. The righteous themselves will possess the land, and dwell therein forever. "
If Adam had not sinned, would he have gone to heaven with time?
Gen. 1:26: "He went God say, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the creatures of the heavens and volatile domestic animals and the whole earth and every moving animal that moves upon the earth . '"(So the purpose of God to Adam was to take charge of caring for the earth and animal life on it. Nothing is said that he would go to heaven.)
Gen. 2:16, 17: "Jehovah God also imposed this mandate, man, 'Of every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. But as the tree of knowledge of good and evil should not eat it, because on the day you eat from it you will positively die. '"(It was the original purpose of the Lord that the man died one day. The command of God cited here shows that he warned that failure to follow the course that would to death. The death would be the punishment for disobedience, not a door to a better life in heaven.'s obedience would be rewarded with continued life, eternal life in paradise that God had given man. See also Isaiah 45:18.)
Does one go to heaven to have a truly happy future? Salt
37:11: "The meek shall themselves will possess the earth, and indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. "
Rev.
21:1-4: "I saw a new heaven and new earth [...] I heard a loud voice from the throne say: 'Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, nor be anymore mourning nor outcry nor pain. The former things have passed away. '"
Miq. 4:3, 4: "Do not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. And actually sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree and none shall make them tremble: for the mouth of Jehovah of hosts has spoken. "
you opened Jesus the way to heaven for those who had died before he died?
What does 1 Peter 3:19, 20? "In this condition [in spirit, after his resurrection] also followed [Jesus] his way and preached to the spirits in prison, which once had been disobedient when God's patience waited in the days of Noah while the ark was being built, where few people, that is, eight souls ["souls", VV, BC, "people", VV (1977), NBE and BJ], were carried safely through water. "(Were these" spirits in prison "the souls of humans who would not heed the preaching of Noah before the Flood?, what they now had the opportunity to go to heaven? A comparison of 2 Peter 2:4 and Jude 6 with Genesis 6:2-4 shows that these spirits were angelic sons of God that had materialized and married women in the days of Noah. In 1 Peter 3:19, 20 the Greek word for "spirits" is pneu'ma · without, while the word translated "souls" is psy · Khai. " The "spirits" were not disembodied or disembodied souls but disobedient angels, the "soul" to which reference is made here were people alive, human, Noah and his household. Therefore, what is preached to the spirits in prison "should have been a message of doom.)
What does 1 Peter 4:6? "In fact, to this end the good news was declared also to the dead, for trial in the flesh from the standpoint of men but live in spirit from the point of view of God. "(Were these" dead "people who had died before Christ's death ? As shown, the dead are not "spirits in prison." Those spirits were disobedient angels. And the preaching could not have benefited physically dead humans because, as Ecclesiastes 9:5 says, they "are not conscious of nothing at all "and Psalm 146:4 says that at the time of death" thoughts do perish 'of the person. Rather, Ephesians 2:1-7, 17 refers to people who are spiritually dead and who come to live in the same direction because we have accepted the good news.)
does it show in the "New Testament" the heavenly life is the hope for all Christians ?
John 14:2, 3: "In my Father's house are many mansions. Otherwise, I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you. Also, if I follow my path and prepare a place, I come again and receive at home myself, that where I'm also are you. "(Jesus shows here that his faithful apostles, to whom he was speaking, with time would be in the "house" your Father in heaven with Jesus. But here he does not say how many more would go to heaven too.)
John 1:12, 13: "To all who did receive him [Jesus], to them he gave authority to become children of God, because they were exercising faith in his name, and they were born, not of blood nor of the will flesh, nor of the will of man but of God. "(Note that the context in verse 11, refers to" his own ", the Village Jesus, the Jews. All those who did receive him when he came to them in the first century to become children of God, with the prospect of heavenly life. The verbs in the text are found in past or past tense, so that this passage refers to all those who have become Christians since then.)
Rom. 8:14, 16, 17: "All who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God. Well, if we are children, then heirs: heirs indeed of God, but joint heirs with Christ, provided we suffer together that we may also be glorified together. "(This was written when it was true that all who were led by spirit of God are sons of God who had the hope of being glorified with Christ. But it has not always been so. Lucas 1:15 says that John the Baptizer would fill you with holy spirit, but Matthew 11:11 explains that he will not participate in the glory of the heavenly kingdom. Similarly, too, after the gathering of the heirs of the heavenly Kingdom would be other people who serve God as followers of his Son and yet not partake of the heavenly glory.)
What are specific references in the New Testament "in relation to a provision to reward with eternal life on Earth to Christians?
Mat. 5:5: "Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth."
Mat. 6:9, 10: "Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Your will, as in heaven, also upon earth. "(Which is the will of God in relation to Earth? What do Genesis 1:28 and Isaiah 45:18?)
Mat . 25:31-33, 40, 46: "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon his glorious throne. And all nations shall be gathered before him, and separate people from each other, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will set the sheep on his right, but the goats on his left. [...] The King will tell them [the sheep]: 'Verily I say: To the extent that made it one of the least of these my brethren, I did. " Y [goats] will leave for the everlasting cutting, but the righteous [the sheep] to eternal life. "(Note that these" sheep "are not the same as the king's brothers, who are" partakers of the heavenly calling "[Heb . 2:10-3:1]. But these people would be calm like sheep alive during the time when Christ was on the throne and during the time that some of the "brothers" of it were still experiencing problems on Earth.)
John 10:16: "And I have other sheep that are not of this fold: them also I have to bring, and hear my voice, and become one flock, one shepherd. "(Who are these" other sheep "? are followers of the Great Shepherd, Jesus Christ, but not in the fold of the" new covenant "with the hope of heavenly life. However, they come to be closely partnership with those in the fold.)
2 Pet. 3:13: "But there are new heavens and a new earth, which we hope as he promised, and justice they to dwell. "(also Revelation 21:1-4.)
Rev. 7:9, 10: "After these things [after the apostle John saw the total number of" sealed "that had been" bought land "to be with Christ in the heavenly Mount Zion, see Revelation 7:3 , 4; 14:1-3] saw, and, look! a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in long white robes, and had palms in their hands. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, 'Salvation we owe to our God who sits on the throne and the Lamb '. "
How many Bible offers the hope of heavenly life?
Luc. 12:32: "Fear not, little flock, for your Father has approved them the kingdom."
Rev. 14:1-3: "I saw, and, look! the Lamb [Jesus Christ] standing on Mount Zion [in the sky, see Hebrews 12:22-24], and with him an hundred forty-four thousand who have written on their foreheads his name and the name of the Father. [...] And they are like singing a new song [...] and no one could learn that song but the hundred and forty four thousand, who have been redeemed from the earth. "
Is the group composed of the 144,000 Jews only natural?
Rev.
7:4-8: "I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed from every tribe of the children of Israel: Reuben [...] [...] [...] Gad Judah [...] [...] Asher Naphtali Manasseh [...] [...] [...] Simeon Levi Issachar [...] [...] [...] Zebulun Joseph [. ..] Benjamin. "(These are not tribes Natural Israel because there never was a tribe of Joseph, does not include the tribes of Ephraim and Dan on this list, and the Levites had separated them for service in relation to the temple, but were not counted as one of the 12 tribes . See Numbers 1:4-16.)
Rom. 2:28, 29: "There is a Jew who is on the outside, nor is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew who is inside, and circumcision of the heart by spirit, not a written code. "
Gal. 3:26-29: "All of you, in fact, are children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. [...] There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one person in union with Christ Jesus. Also, if you belong to Christ, are really Abraham's seed, heirs with respect to a promise. "
Is the number 144,000 merely a symbolic figure?
The fact that, after mentioning the specific number 144,000, Revelation 7:9 refers to a "great multitude, which no man could number," the answer to that question . If the 144,000 figure was not verbatim, without meaning as a contrast to the "great crowd." Which we believe the figure is consistent with the literal statement of Jesus in Matthew 22:14 regarding the Kingdom of heaven: "There are many guests, but few chosen."
you going to heaven also the "great crowd" as referred to in Revelation 7:9, 10?
Of Revelation does not say, as it does in the case of the 144,000-who have been "bought land" to be with Christ in the heavenly Mount Zion. (Rev. 14:1-3.)
This description is given of them: "Standing before the throne and before the Lamb" does not necessarily indicate a location, but a condition of approval. (Compare Revelation 6:17, Luke 21:36.) The expression "before the throne" (Greek: e · no'pi · on tou thro'nou, literally, "in view of the throne") does not require the in the sky. His position is simply "view" of God, who tells us from heaven he beholds the sons of men. (Ps. 11:4; cf. Matthew 25:31-33, Luke 1:74, 75, Acts 10:33.)
The "great crowd in heaven" as mentioned in Revelation 19:1, 6 is not the same "great crowd" of Revelation 7:9. Of those that are in heaven the description does not say that out "of all nations" and they are attributing their salvation to the Lamb, they are angels. In the Bible, the term "great crowd" is used in different contexts. (Mark 5:24, 6:34, 12:37.)
What will your heavenly to be there?
Rev. 20:6: "They shall be priests of God and of Christ, and rule as kings with him for a thousand years." (Daniel 7:27 also.)
1 Cor. 6:2: "¿[...] not you know that the saints will judge the world? "
Rev. 5:10:" You did that would be a kingdom and priests to our God, and have to rule as kings over ["on", BD, NBE, "on", MT, NC (1972), BJ, VP, VM] land. "(The same Greek word and the same grammatical structure is in Revelation 11:6. There MT, NC (1972), BJ, and others, shed construction" on ".)
Who selects those who go to heaven?
2 Thess. 2:13, 14: "We must always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation by sanctifying spirit and their faith in the truth. In this same fate called him by the good news we declare, with the purpose of acquiring the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. "
Rom. 9:6, 16: "Not all those from Israel are really 'Israel'. [...] It depends on who you want or exertion, but of God who shows mercy. "
STILL had not spent three full months since his release from captivity in Egypt in 1513 BCE when the Israelites camped opposite Mount Sinai in the desert. Called by the Lord, the prophet Moses climbed the mountain and heard God promise that would make the nation of Israel His "special property from all other peoples." Then Moses told this to the people by the elders of the nation. "After that all the people answered unanimously and said, 'All that the Lord has spoken we are doing it'." (Exodus 19:1-8.)
Later God sent Moses the Ten Commandments clearly, with this introduction: "I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house slaves." (Exodus 20:2.) This was the Decalogue to the Israelites, who were told in the first commandment: "Thou shalt not have other gods against my face." (Exodus 20:3.)
After Lord instructed Moses in other divine commandments to Israel. (Exodus 20:4-23:19.) Overall, these were some 600 laws. And what's exciting to know that the angel of God went before the nation to pave the way the Promised Land! (Exodus 23:20-22.) Lord said: "Before all your people do wonderful things that have never been created in all the earth or between all nations and all the people among whom you will actually see the work of Lord, because it is inspiring fear I am doing with you. " Instead, what God required of his people? "As for you, keep that which I am commanding you today." Yes, obedience to all laws and precepts of the Lord was mandatory. (Exodus 34:10, 11.)
What the Ten Commandments to Israel meant
As a result of divine protection during their flight from bondage in Egypt, the Israelites knew the name of God in a new direction. Lord had been their Deliverer. (Exodus 6:2, 3.) Therefore, the third commandment gained special meaning to them by forbidding them to take God's name in a worthless way. (Exodus 20:7.)
But what about the fourth commandment, concerning the Sabbath day? This mandate emphasized respect for the sacred, as he had stated before the Lord to establish a "Sabbath observance" for the gathering manna. (Exodus 16:22-26.) Because some Israelites did not obey promptly, frankly reminded Lord had given them that order. "'Take note of the fact that the Lord has given you the Sabbath." [...] And the people proceeded to observe the Sabbath on the seventh day. "(Exodus 16:29, 30.) Then the Lord said it was this unique arrangement, saying:" Between me and the children of Israel is a sign to time indefinite. " (Exodus 31:17.)
Then, consider the singular Tenth Commandment, which prohibits greed. No human could enforce this law. Every Israelite had to answer to their God, Jehovah, who searched the heart of the person to see their motives. (Exodus 20:17, 1 Samuel 16:7, Jeremiah 17:10.)
Adjustment
standpoint
Jesus Christ, who by birth belonged to the nation of Israel, told his disciples: "Do not think I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I came not to destroy but to fulfill. " (Matthew 5:17.) The apostle Paul wrote to the Hebrew Christians, "The Law is a shadow of good things to come, but not the substance of things." (Hebrews 10:1.) If you had been a Jew converted to Christianity, would have understood how these sayings? Some members of the early Christian church believed that hundreds of laws that God had given through Moses, including the Ten Commandments, still governed. But was it correct that view?
Consider these words of Paul to some Jewish converts to Christianity in the province of Galatia: "We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners from among the nations, knowing as we know that man is declared righteous because works of law but only through faith in Christ Jesus, until we have put our faith in Christ Jesus, to be declared righteous due to faith in Christ, and not because of works of law, because due to works of law no flesh will be declared righteous. " (Galatians 2:15, 16.) Actually reaching righteousness before God depended not perfectly obey the Law of Moses, since that was impossible for imperfect humans. Paul added: "All who rely on works of law are under a curse, for it is written: 'Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things written in the scroll of the Law to make them." [...] Christ by purchase released us from the curse of the law, becoming a curse instead of us. " (Galatians 3:10-13.)
If Jewish followers Jesus was no longer under the curse of the Law, a Christian was obliged to observe all the commandments that were given to Israel? Paul wrote to the Colossians: "[God] kindly forgave us all our trespasses and blotted out the handwritten document against us, which consisted of decrees and which was in opposition to us, and He has removed the key way to torture stake [in Christ]. " (Colossians 2:13, 14.) There is no doubt that many early Christians had to adjust their thinking and recognize that they had been "discharged from the Law." (Romans 7:6.) By exercising faith in Jesus' death as sacrifice, ended the Act and paved the way for the inauguration of the predicted "new covenant" could reach a position just before the Lord. (Jeremiah 31:31-34, Romans 10:4.)
What they mean for us
Does this mean that the Ten Commandments, a basic part of the Act, have lost all meaning for Christians? Of course not! Although legally Ten Commandments do not apply to Christians, these laws continue to give good guidelines, like other mandates of the Law of Moses. For example, Jesus said that the two greatest commandments are to love calling God and neighbor. (Leviticus 19:18, Deuteronomy 6:5, Matthew 22:37-40.) In advising the Christians in Rome, Paul quoted the commandments sixth, seventh, eighth and tenth, adding: "And whatever other commandment there , is summarized in this word, namely: 'You must love your neighbor as yourself'. " (Romans 13:8, 9.)
So, as part of the inspired Word of God, what purpose is fulfilled the Ten Commandments today? Reveal the Jehovah's standpoint on certain issues. (2 Timothy 3:16, 17.) Consider how.
Jesus' death ended the Law, which included the Ten Commandments, given to the Israelites at Mount Sinai
The first four commandments emphasize our responsibilities to the Lord. (First) He is a God who still demands exclusive devotion. (Matthew 4:10.) (Middle) None of his worshipers must use images. (1 John 5:21.) (Third) We must use God's name so appropriate and dignified, never disrespectful. (John 17:26, Romans 10:13.) (Quart) Our whole life should revolve around sacred matters. This allows us to rest, or 'take a Saturday ', the procedure of paying us for our own righteousness. (Hebrews 4:9, 10.)
(Fifth) The obedience of children to their parents remains the cornerstone of family unity, which is in the blessings of the Lord. And what hope has this wonderful "first term with a promise!" Not just "to go well" but also to "Dures long on the earth." (Ephesians 6:1-3.) Now that we live in the "last days" of the current unjust system, that pious obedience puts before young people the prospect of never dying. (2 Timothy 3:1, John 11:26.)
love our neighbor prevents to be harmful and wicked acts (Sixth) murder, (Seventh) adultery, (Eighth) theft and (Ninth) telling lies. (1 John 3:10-12, Hebrews 13:4, Ephesians 4:28, Matthew 5:37, Proverbs 6:16-19.) But what about our motives? The (Tenth) commandment against coveting, reminds us that the Lord requires that our intentions are always right in his eyes. (Proverbs 21:2.)
flow of meaning do we find in the Ten Commandments! They are based on divine principles that will never be outdated, we should cherish as precious reminders of our obligation to love God and our neighbor. (Matthew 22:37-39.)
Uruguay is filled to the utmost of "computer technicians."
In the 80's, it was believed that the "computer" was the most promising career, so any parent who is worthy of the children raised with the idea that I had to learn the "office of the future." This idea was to increase the population of "tech-wannabes" who believed that a course of "Computer Operator" would open the doors of the universe, which generated a wave of proportions only comparable with that of the bubble. COM 90 '. .. and with the same meager outcome.
Today, those who were in those early days (and prob-ably a little earlier as well) know that to be technical to do more than just a course to learn to use a mouse and a package of office programs . We saw enough to realize that this was the tip of an iceberg of immeasurable proportions and which does not apply the rule that only one eighth of it is about the surface ...
remains rife that there are young people with enthusiasm, they want to do computer-related courses, either because they like the computer itself or because they like what they can do with it (two points view that it should make clear), but the boldest attempt to attack what they see as more difficult, because it leaves more room for profit in the future (thinking about getting a good paying technical jobs), but mostly are not seriously considering the time will have to invest in becoming a technician qualified enough to be able to get those profits.
This applies for example there are those who are embarking on a course of a couple of years and hope to win lots of money making websites, repairing PC's, designing advertising or perhaps managing servers. And many are finding that actually, after a time to be attending school, do not get the result they want at the time who think they are "investing" to achieve their goals. Many encounter unanticipated difficulties with unpleasant subjects or subjects that actually are not interested in having to deal with, because the end-result is still "earn big bucks doing ..." and not learning to do ...".
As I see this quite often, I have given up a small document entitled "Advice for future computer technician," which is nothing but a number of basic ideas for those who want to become initiated and have questions about how to start and what to do.
do not intend to follow these tips, but make available to the general public for those who have interest in technical careers, have an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat it takes to reach the goal. Do not blame me for making it seem more difficult than it actually is (is not that difficult?), But I have to warn them not to waste your life trying to be something for which there to have certain qualities that may not be available to all in the time to start.
Take it for what it is, a list of preconditions that should be "reviewed" before starting the engine to make sure that we will reach the destination without complications.
1. Learn "computer" is not going to a course of three months to press buttons and move a mouse: computing is a complex science and learning it requires seriousness, dedication and perseverance. The general knowledge is necessary, but specialization is the difference between being a "simple username" and an "expert." If you do not want to become an expert, will become without doubt one of the bunch of "users", and unless you plan to use the computer as a tool applied to another task that has nothing to do with the computer itself , this condition will not be sufficiently useful for employment in the computer area.
2. Make sure you know what is involved in the specialization that you want to and if you want to work in information technology, Evolve heavily on a small group of majors : Sometimes, a specific type of work involves tasks that are not pleasant, although the vast majority of work is. Those who pursue a particular position and created to obtain just reward (in addition to good dividends) probably have a misconception about computer science as a way of living. Find out the pros and cons of a specialist before starting to learn. Also, delve into the smallest possible number of specializations to maintain an appropriate focus and get a unique expertise that apart from the rest. Know how many things can be interesting, but specialization is what will give better returns (assuming you still have the idea to make money with your computer studies ...).
3 . Make sure you understand technical English fluently: Like it or not like it, English is the language of science and there is no way to escape this universal reality. The best documentation on any topic related to computer science is inevitably in that language, so if you do not learn to read at least previously, it is impossible to be informed properly and securely on any topic. Unless you want to engage in using the computer as design tool (and only for that), learn English before you start.
4. Develop a taste for learning by itself, and learn how to learn (forgive the redundancy): Although it is proven that anyone can become an expert on any subject seriously just spend 10 years of his life, do depends on the ease with to be able to assimilate knowledge, which is needed to train and speed up the mind enough to make the "learning curve" lean as possible. This requires real dedication and time. If none of these elements, do not try to learn computers. Depending on the expertise developed in which to decide, you'll find no one who can teach and will have to learn on their own reading documentation and learning based on trial and error. Avoid believing that the solution is to make a couple of queries in a web browser or a specialized forum. You'd be surprised at how many ways there are to do the same, and what is the relationship between what are considered good and no, and I'm not counting the cases in which some joker appears far-fetched ideas while technically convincing to confuse any novice, so learn to understand and discern.
5. Make sure you consult the appropriate sources of information : Go to any school that teaches "computer" is not the proper way to learn. Look for references, inquire, talk with others who have had experiences in places where schools displayed as possible attend. Take seriously the choice of where you are learning. See how successful they have obtained those who have gone to school XXX to find out if it really can be taken as reference. Do these schools have courses fame touting international recognition, but hardly verifiable. Courses start "or" short courses "do not show the tip of the iceberg, only shrapnel, and the difference is in the field of battle. If you really want to be a specialist, start by making a formal course at the Faculty of Engineering, and take advantage of the free time you can get in depth on any subject that really interests you.
6. Prepare and predispose to deal with several pages of seemingly unintelligible acronyms : IP, TCP, SCSI, UDP, ICMP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, HTTP, IPSec, VoIP, VLAN, TMDA, APOP, SAAS, OOP, SQL, SSL, MAC, SPF, SGML, PPP, LBA, IPv6, SAS, XML, USB, BGP, IGRP, TLS, PoE, SRS, ARP, DoS, FQDN, RDP, MPLS, VNC, ASCII, DMA, IRQ, MMX, RTFM ... If you could not easily identify and broken down into constituent terms at least 10 of these acronyms and perhaps they is not your computer profession. May one day be ashamed of "nerd" who is to be able to describe them all, but if not able to remember and understand what they mean, probably not a good idea to try to learn computers, and that is full of abbreviations how are you and what they mean can take hours of required reading (to give a simple idea, imagine that to understand what it is the abbreviation for POP3, you must read a document of 23 pages. Ah ... do not know English ? ... did not read the third item in this list!?). Note that among these abbreviations are not trademarks or pet names (although some may please The idea to use for this purpose), and not just memorize it, you also have to understand its meaning!
7. Get used to see on the Internet, specialized forums and subscribe to mailing lists on topics of interest: do not need to participate, but at least be informed about the technical issues that are important and attractive. Avoid the temptation to ask questions about subjects you do not know anything at all. Seek referrals and information in the most authoritative sources possible before commenting. If necessary, ask for references on where to look (if you already tried unsuccessfully find good quality information), but ask if you tried before ... If you ask something, please read the document called "How to ask questions the smart way" and understand what it means. It will save you time and pain (head and self-esteem).
8. Avoid hanging out with other "wannabe" who want to be "hackers" Normally, they are beginning to believe it is "cool" into other people's computers and steal data or cause, but rarely are able to do anything but come on written recipe step by step. Contact with these people is bad for their focus and objectivity. Do not let it sow the seeds of panic, paranoid, and have time to worry when you have to protect a network of "crackers" (yes, like cookies, but flesh and blood). In fact, this type of character misunderstood the concept that represents the word "hacker", so I just talk about "hacking" thinking they know what it is and have no idea that to be a hacker, you have to work very hard. If you really want to be a HACKER, become an expert in any field of computing, to participate, if learned enough, to teach and explain, and suddenly, one day without realizing who understand the subject it will be calling HACKER (or any other term partner with the expertise).
9. Learn to adapt quickly to changes and work under intense pressure: If changing challenges and lack of time are not to your liking, or if your tolerance to stress is low and perhaps they want to dedicate yourself to something less complicated and simple. There are people who can not cope with this kind of thing and actually ends in very poor condition. No shame in that, may be due to physiological question and can often come from a nutritional or metabolic problem (lack of absorption of certain minerals or vitamins, hormonal imbalances) and not have to be a determining factor, can compensate treatment. Be mentally stable clean is essential for the acquisition of sound knowledge and to work in computer science. Adaptability is a quality highly prized in this area, so those who are able to adapt faster, reach further. If you live on the computer, you may be entering one of the groups at risk of heart disease and mental instability. I know because the voices in my head I repeat it constantly ...
10. be prepared to coach trusted family and friends probably a good source of case studies and practical very useful during the study period when one has not enough experience, but eventually you will find that their knowledge forced him to wonder if you did well, telling acquaintances and friends what I was studying, and that queries and problems the use of anything that has more than 10 keys will be derived without regard, because "you're the one who knows about these things." As Thomas Grey said: "where ignorance is bliss, it is crazy to be wise."
I know some of these tips can be applied to other industries that have nothing to do with the computer. Every profession has its technical details y complicaciones, pero no las conozco todas, así que solo me limité a lo que tengo más cerca. Muchos dirán que en realidad es un poco exagerado lo que puse en este documento, pero la realidad y la experiencia me dan la razón. Si me faltó algo, pueden agregarlo como comentario. Prometo hacer las modificaciones correspondientes en este documento para agregar sus ideas también al mismo. Ah, y no me lo agradezcan. Solo puse en papel algunas cosas que son de sentido común, como en el marketing, solo que no se lo voy a vender a nadie... :-)
The cave of treasures is what I chose to represent my circuit. The model takes back the location of the elements used to build my circuit, each with its name, at first I missed that part, but it is arregladado.
Many years ago, a prince was banished from his castle by his evil brother, the Prince had many treasures, but his brother took them off and took it all for him. The prince was very sad to live in the village and there worked very hard, one day his mother, who had been very sad about the departure of his son sent the castle guards to get a chest with lots of diamonds and leave them in a cave, with this treasure, the prince could live very well, and not have to work so hard. The guards came to the prince and told him that his mother had done for him, to hear that the prince was very happy, and told the guards that soon would come to find such treasures. Despite the news received by the prince, he kept working hard, because I had a lit that wealth could be lost at any time, one day a beautiful young woman began to work, picked fruit from the field where the prince was also working, seeing this beautiful young prince fell in love with her and together they began to work. As the prince was so pleased with his girlfriend, missed the treasure that was hidden in a cave, and no matter what the riches of the young prince followed his life with his girlfriend. Since then the treasure is in the cave, waiting for someone in need can find it.
work with circuits is a major challenge, and we must learn to apply it in a previous job I had the opportunity to work with circuits and I found it quite entertaining (tip lift). .. On this occasion we work individually with the circuit: D To dig a little deeper with this topic we will see some important definitions ...
What is an electrical circuit? An electrical circuit is a set of elements that together properly allow the passage of electrons. It consists

ELEMENTO DE MANIOBRA.
El sentido real de la corriente va del polo negativo al positivo. Sin embargo, en los primeros estudios se consideró al revés, por ello cuando resolvamos problemas siempre consideraremos que el sentido de la corriente eléctrica irá del polo positivo al negativo.
Generador o acumulador
Son aquellos elementos capaces de mantener una diferencia de potencial entre los extremos de un conductor.
Generadores Primary: have only one use: batteries. Hilo conductor
formed by a conductive material, which is that little resistance that opposes the passage of electrical current. Receiver
those elements are able to harness the power step motors, resistors, bulbs ...
Generators side: they can be recharged, batteries or accumulators.
These images show the completed project, after several days of effort is finally working ready. Crank allows us to give motion to the crankshaft and connecting rod with him, this will make the animals that represent each type of habitat to rise and will be located in its proper place as it is represented every type of habitat. mechanisms rod-crank-crank can be used for various jobs and make more educational projects, surely will help us to do other work and complement the content to be treated.
is very important to plan the work, but it is also important to improve the projects when we noticed that the project is not working as it should. so now I present my project planning, although the project has been delivered as such planning is necessary to show that I followed for my project realzación crank-crank-shaft.
Introduction of Software Engineering will be introduced in the fourth decade of its existence and suffering of the many strengths and weaknesses. Engineering Software is approaching middle age with many successes behind him, but with significant work to be done. Today is recognized as a legitimate discipline, worthy of having a serious, careful study and a great and tumultuous debate. In industry the software engineer has replaced the programmer as preferred job title. The software process models, software engineering methods and tools have been successfully adopted in the broad spectrum of industrial applications. Managers and users recognize the need for a more disciplined approach to software.
The search for techniques that improve quality and cuts the costs of computer-based solutions has been one of the objectives pursued since the beginning of computing. A mid 60's, the creation of a software product became a harrowing task, it was therefore necessary to introduce a series of tools and procedures to facilitate the one hand, the work of creating new software and on the other, understanding and handling. These were the beginnings of Software Engineering. Over time, the evolution of these methods have led us to recognize the software engineering as a true discipline, derived from a serious and careful study.
Evolution Software
During the early years of the era of the computer, the software was viewed as an addition. Computer programming was a "homespun art" for which there were few systematic methods. Software development was done virtually no planning, until the plans began cracking his head and running costs. Developers tried to make things right, and a heroic effort, often out successfully. The software is custom designed for each application and had a relatively small distribution.
Most software was developed and was used by the same person or organization. The same person I wrote it, running and if that fails, then purified. Because of this custom software environment, the design was an implicit process, held in someone's mind, and usually there was no documentation.
The second era in the evolution of computer systems ranging from the mid-sixties to late seventies. Multiprogramming and multiuser systems introduced new concepts of human - machine. Interactive techniques opened a new world of applications and new levels of sophistication of hardware and software. Real-time systems could collect, analyze and transform data from multiple sources, controlling processes and producing output in milliseconds rather than minutes. Advances in online storage devices led to the first generation of systems management databases.
The second era was also marked by the establishment of software as a product and the advent of "software houses." Employers in industry, government and college were preparing to "develop the best software package and win a lot of money. As
growing number of computer systems, began to expand the libraries of computer software. The houses developed projects that are producing tens programs of thousands of source sentence. All these programs, all these source statements had to be corrected when errors were detected, modified when changing user requirements or adapted to new hardware devices that were acquired. These activities are collectively called software maintenance.
The third era in the evolution of computer systems began in the mid-seventies and continued more than a decade. The distributed system, multiple computers, each running concurrent tasks and communicating with another, significantly increased the complexity of computer systems. Local area networks and global area, the digital communications and high bandwidth access to the growing demand for "instant" to the data, were a strong pressure on software developers.
The conclusion of the third era is characterized by the advent and wide use of microprocessors. The microprocessor has a large group of smart products, from automobiles to microwave ovens, from industrial robots diagnostic equipment serum.
The fourth was the development of computer systems away from individual computers and computer programs, addressing the collective impact of computers and software. Powerful personal machines controlled by sophisticated operating systems, global and local networks, accompanied by advanced software applications have become the norm.
software industry and is home to the world economy. The fourth generation techniques for software development are changing the way software community builds software. Object-oriented technologies are moving rapidly approaches conventional software development in many areas of applications.
However, a set of software-related problems have persisted through the evolution of computer-based systems, and these problems continue to rise.
software advances continue to outpace our ability to build software to achieve the potential of the hardware.
Our ability to build new programs can not go the same pace as demand for new programs, nor can we build programs quickly enough to meet market needs and business.
The widespread use of computers has made society increasingly dependent on reliable operation of the software. When software fails, can occur and cause huge economic damage human suffering.
fight to build computer software that is reliable and high quality.
Our ability to support and enhance existing programs is threatened by poor design and inadequate resources.
In response to these problems, the practices of Software Engineering are being adopted throughout the industry.
What is Software Engineering? Software Engineering is a discipline or area of \u200b\u200bInformatics or Computer Science, which offers methods and techniques for developing and maintaining quality software that solve problems of all kinds. Today it is increasingly common for consideration by the Software Engineering as a new area of \u200b\u200bEngineering, and Software Engineer begins to be a profession established in the international workplace, with rights, duties and responsibilities to fulfill, along with one, and recognized social status in the business world, and fortunately, for those people with bright future.
software engineering deals with very diverse areas of Information and Computer Science, such as compiler construction, operating systems and development of Intranet / Internet, addressing all phases of development life cycle of any information systems and applicable to a myriad of areas such as business, scientific research, medicine, manufacturing, logistics, banking, traffic control, meteorology, the legal world, the network of networks, Internet, Intranet and Extranet networks, etc.
Definition of Software Engineering
The engineering term is defined in the Dictionary of the English Royal Academy of Language as: "1. The knowledge and techniques to apply scientific knowledge to the use of the material and energy sources. 2. Profession and exercise of the Engineer "and the term engineer is defined as a person who professes or is engaged in the engineering. Similarly the Royal Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences of Spain Engineering defines the term as: "A set technical knowledge and their application to the rational use of materials and natural resources, through inventions, facilities or other accomplishments beneficial to man. "
Clearly, if the Software Engineering is a new engineering, it seems logical to collect the features mentioned in the above definitions. However neither DRAE (Dictionary of the English Royal Academy of Language), and the Royal English Academy of Sciences have yet to include the term in their latest editions, and consequently we will use for defining more precisely some of the most reputable authors in due course began to use the term or in the definitions given by international organizations such as prestigious professional IEEE or ACM, which we have selected the following definitions of Software Engineering.
Definition 1:
Software Engineering is the study of the principles and methodologies for developing and maintaining software systems [Zelkovits, 1978].
Definition 2:
Software Engineering is the practical application of scientific knowledge in the design and construction of computer programs and documentation required to develop, operate (run) and keep them [Boehm, 1976].
Definition 3:
Engineering Software is the establishment of the principles and methods of engineering software to obtain cost-effective manner that is reliable and work on real machines [Bauer, 1972].
Definition 4:
The application of a systematic, disciplined and quantifiable development, operation (performance) and software maintenance, ie the application of engineering to software [IEEE 1993].
An industrial perspective
In the early days of computing, computer-based systems were developed using standard hardware-oriented management. Project managers centraban en el hardware, debido a que era el factor principal del presupuesto en el desarrollo del sistema. Para controlar los costes del hardware, los gestores instituyeron controles formales y estándares técnicos. Exigían un análisis y diseño completo antes de que algo se construyera. Median el proceso para determinar donde podían hacerse mejoras. Dicho sencillamente, aplicaban los controles, los métodos y las herramientas que reconocemos como Ingeniería del Hardware. Desgraciadamente, el software no era normalmente mas que un añadido.
En los primeros días, la programación se veía como un arte. Existían pocos métodos formales y pocas personas los usaban.
Hoy, la distribución costs in the development of computer systems has changed dramatically. Software instead of hardware, is usually the main cost element.
In past decades many executives and technical trainees had made the following questions:
Why take so long to finish the programs?
Why is it so high the cost?
Why can not we find all the bugs before releasing the software to our customers? Why
difficult for us to note the progress as it develops the software?
These and many other issues are a manifestation of the software and of how it develops, a problem that has led to the adoption of Software Engineering as a practice. Competitiveness
Software
For many years, software developers employed by large and small companies were the only ones in this field. As all programs are custom-built, the developers of the domestic software dictate the cost, planning and quality. Today, all this has changed.
software is now an extremely competitive business. The internally built software is available now in stores. Many companies that once paid for legions of programmers create specialized applications now offer a third lot of software work.
Software Software Description A textbook could take the following form: the software is (1) instructions that when executed provide desired function and performance, (2) data structures that allow programs to adequately manipulate information, and (3) documents describing the operation and use of software.
Software Features
To understand what the software (and consequently the Software Engineering), it is important to examine the characteristics of software that differentiate it from other things that men can build.
The software is a system that is logical rather than physical. Therefore the software has characteristics significantly different from the hardware:
The software is developed, not manufactured in the classical sense. Although there are similarities between the development of software and hardware construction, the two activities are fundamentally different. In both activities, the quality is acquired through good design, but the construction phase of the hardware can introduce quality problems that do not exist (or are easily correctable) in the software. Both activities depend on the people, but the relationship between people working and the work is completely different for the software. Both activities require the construction of a product, but the methods are different.
costs are in software engineering. This means that software projects can not be managed as if they were manufacturing projects.
The software does not spoil. The software is not susceptible to the ills of the environment that make the hardware is damaged. Another aspect of this decline illustrates the difference between hardware and software. When a component breaks down, is replaced by a spare. No replacement part for the software. Each software failure indicates an error in the design or the process by which the design is translated to executable machine code. Therefore, software maintenance is considerably more complex than the hardware maintenance.
Most software is made to measure, instead of assembling existing components. No software component catalogs. You can buy software already developed, but only as a complete unit, not as components that can be reassembled into new programs.
important for a software component quality. The component should be designed
Software Components Reuse is a feature and implemented so you can return to be reused in many different programs.
software components are built using a programming language that has a limited vocabulary, grammar rules explicitly defined and well-formed syntax and semantics.
Software Applications The software can be applied in any situation in which previously defined a specific set of procedural steps (ie, an algorithm). (Notable exceptions to this rule is the software expert systems and neural networks).
The following areas of software indicate the breadth of potential applications: Software Systems: software systems is a set of programs that have been posted to serve other programs. The area of \u200b\u200bsoftware systems characterized by a strong interaction with the computer hardware, a great use for multiple users, a concurrent operation that requires planning, resource sharing and sophisticated process management, complex data structures and multiple external interfaces. (Eg, compilers, editors, utilities, certain operating system components, utilities, management of peripherals, telecommunications processors.)
Real Time Software: software measuring / analyzes / controls real-world events as they occur is called real time. Among the elements of real-time software include: a data acquisition component that collects and formats the information received from the external environment, an analysis component that transforms the information received from the external environment, an analysis component that transforms information as required by the application, a control component / output responsive to the external environment and a monitoring component that coordinates all other components, so you can keep real-time response.
Management Software: information processing trade is the largest application areas of software. Discrete systems (eg payroll, accounts of assets / debts, inventories, etc..), Have evolved into software management information systems (GIS), which accesses one or more large databases containing commercial information. The applications in this area restructure existing data to facilitate business operations or management decisions. In addition to the conventional tasks of data processing, software applications management also perform interactive calculations (eg, transaction processing in retail outlets).
Software Engineering , and Scientist: Software Engineering and Science is characterized by the management algorithms of numbers. Applications range from astronomy to volcanology, from the analysis of automotive pressure to the orbital dynamics of space launchers and from molecular biology to automated manufacturing. Embedded Software
: Embedded software resides in read-only memory and is used to control products and systems for industrial and consumer markets. The embedded software can perform limited functions and odd (eg: the control of the keys of a microwave oven) or provide a significant role and control capabilities (eg: digital functions on a car such as fuel control, indications on the dashboard, brake systems, etc.)..
Personal Computer Software: The market for personal computer software has sprouted in the past decade. Word processing, spreadsheets, computer graphics, multimedia, entertainment, management of databases, business applications and personal financial and networks or access to external databases are some of the hundreds of applications.
Artificial Intelligence Software: software artificial intelligence (AI) uses non-numerical algorithms to solve complex problems for which the calculation is not appropriate or direct analysis. The most active area of \u200b\u200bAI is expert systems, also called knowledge-based systems.
Today the software plays a dual role. It is a product and at the same time, the vehicle for delivery of a product. As a result, delivers the computing power of computer hardware. If you live in or operate a cell phone into a central computer, the software is a processor of information, producing, managing, acquiring, modifying, displaying or transmitting information that can be as simple as a single bit or as complex as a multimedia simulation. As a vehicle used to deliver the product, the software acts as the basis for control of the computer (operating systems), communication of information (networks), and the creation and control of other programs (software tools and environments).
computer software, has become the alma mater. Is the machine that leads to business decisions. Serves as the foundation of modern scientific research and engineering problem-solving. Is the key factor that differentiates modern products and services. Is embedded in systems of all kinds: transportation, medical, telecommunications, military, industrial processes, entertainment, office products, etc. The software will take us in hand advances in everything from elementary education to genetic engineering.
Evolution of Software Engineering
Initially computer programming was an art that did not have systematic methods in which to build for the realization of software products. Were carried out without any planning. Evolution and Prospects of Software Engineering Subsequently, from mid 60 to late 70's was characterized by the development of software as a product that was developed for general distribution. In this era gave rise to what is known as software maintenance that occurs when changing user requirements and requires the modification of software. The effort required for this maintenance was in most cases so large that it was impossible to maintain it. Then comes a stage that is characterized by the appearance of a number of techniques such as structured programming and design methodologies that address the above problems. At the end of this stage appear CASE tools, although as we can imagine were very rudimentary. Conclusion
software has become the key element the evolution of systems and software products. In the past four decades, software has evolved from a specialized problem solving and data analysis tool, to be an industry in itself. But the early culture and history of programming has created a set of problems that still persist. The software has become a limiting factor for the development of computer systems. The software consists of programs, data and documents. Each of these elements form a configuration that is created as part of the Software Engineering. The intent of the Software Engineering is to provide a framework for building software with higher quality.
Components and Hardware devices are divided into Basic Hardware and Hardware Supplemental
The Basic Hardware: are fundamental and essential parts for the computer to function as are: Motherboard, monitor, keyboard and mouse. The Additional Hardware: are those non-essential additional devices such as: printer, scanner, digital video camera, webcam, etc. Motherboard Motherboard or major hardware components of computer and essential to its operation are on the motherboard (also known as motherboard), a printed circuit board that houses the Central Processing Unit (CPU) or microprocessor, chipset integrated circuit (auxiliary), RAM, or Flash-ROM BIOS, etc.. as well as communicate with each other.
Hardware Groups According to their functions, components and hardware devices are divided into several groups and in the following order:
Input Devices Input Devices are those through which send data outside the central processing unit, including keyboard, mouse, scanner, or microphone, among others.
Chipset (Integrated Circuit Auxiliary) Chipset Integrated Circuit Assistant or the spinal cord of the computer, built into the motherboard, enables it to work at the heart of the system allowing data traffic between the microprocessor (CPU) and other motherboard components, interconnected through various buses which are: the Northbridge (North Bridge) and the Southbridge (South Bridge).
The Northbridge or North Bridge is an integrated circuit that makes a bridge between the microprocessor and memory in addition to the video graphics card or AGP or PCI-Express, as well as communications with the South Bridge.
The Southbridge and South Bridge (also known as Hub Controllers Input / Output) is an integrated circuit that coordinates within the board's input and output devices as well as some other features of low speed. The South Bridge is connected to the CPU through the North Bridge.
Central Processing Unit (CPU) The CPU (Central Processing Unit or Central Processing Unit) can be composed of one or more integrated circuit chips that are responsible for interpreting and executing instructions, and to manage, coordinate and process data is ultimately the brain of the computer system. also speed the computer depends on the speed of the CPU or microprocessor which is measured in Mhz (unit of measurement of the speed of processing). It is divided into several records:
Control Unit Control Unit is responsible for checking that instructions are executed, looking them in main memory, decoding (playing) and then be executed in the processing unit.
Arithmetic-Logic Unit Arithmetic-Logic Unit is the processing unit which carries out the execution of arithmetic instructions and logical.
Storage Unit The storage unit or memory stores all data that is processed in the computer memory is divided into Primary and Secondary or Auxiliary Memory.
Principal or Primary Memory (RAM - ROM) in main memory or primary computer are the RAM, ROM and cache.
Memory RAM (Random Access Memory or Random Access Memory) is an integrated circuit or chip that stores programs and data executed by the computer results and temporarily, as its contents are lost when it goes off. It is called random access - or direct access - because you can access any memory location without having to follow an order. The RAM can be read and written so that its contents can be modified.
ROM (Read Only Memory or Read Only Memory) chips is recorded in a series of programs by the hardware manufacturer and is read-only, so can not be changed - at least not very quickly or easily - and not altered by power outages. In this memory values \u200b\u200bare stored routines for boot or startup and configuration.
cache or RAM cache is a high-speed auxiliary memory, which is not only a shortcut copy of main memory stored in the RAM modules.
Secondary Memory (Hard Drive, Floppy disks, etc.). secondary memory (also called storage device) consists of all devices capable of storing data in devices that can be internal as the hard disk or removable media such as floppy disks (floppy disks), CDs , DVDs, etc.
Output Devices Output devices are those that receive the data processed by computer and can externalize through peripherals such as monitor, printer, scanner, plotter, speakers, etc.
Devices Input / Output (Peripherals mixed): There are devices that are both input and output as mentioned storage peripherals, CDs, DVDs, as well as modems, faxes, USB, or network cards.
Uruguay is filled to the utmost of "computer technicians."
In the 80's, it was believed that the "computer" was the most promising career, so any parent who is worthy of the children raised with the idea that I had to learn the "office of the future." This idea led to improvements in population of "tech-wannabes" who believed that a course in "Computer Operator" would open the doors of the universe, which generated a wave of proportions only comparable with that of the bubble. COM 90 '... and with the same meager outcome.
Today, those who were in those early days (and prob-ably a little earlier as well) know that to be technical to do more than just a course to learn to use a mouse and a package of office programs . We saw enough to realize that this was the tip of an iceberg of immeasurable proportions and which does not apply the rule that only one eighth of it is on the surface ...
remains rife that there are young people with enthusiasm, they want to do computer-related courses, either because they like the computer itself or because they like what they can do with it (two points of view it should make clear), but the boldest attempt to attack what they see as more difficult, because it leaves more room for profit in the future (thinking about getting a good paying technical jobs), but mostly are not seriously considering the need to invest time to become a technician qualified enough to be able to get those profits.
This happens example that there are those who are embarking on a course of a couple of years and expect to win big bucks doing websites, fixing PC's, designing advertising or perhaps managing servers. And many are finding that actually, after a time to be attending school, do not get the result they want at the time who think they are "investing" to achieve their goals. Many encounter unanticipated difficulties with unpleasant subjects or subjects that actually are not interested in having to deal with, because the end-result is still "earn big bucks doing ..." and not learning to do ...".
As I see this quite often, I have given up a small document entitled "Advice for future computer technician," which is nothing but a number of basic ideas for those who want to become initiated and have questions about how to start and what to do.
do not intend to follow these tips, but make available to the general public for those who have interest in technical careers, have an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat it takes to reach the goal. Do not blame me for making it seem more difficult than it actually is (is not that difficult?), But I have to warn them not to waste your life trying to be something for which we must have certain qualities that can not be to everyone at the time of start.
Take it for what it is, a list of preconditions that should be "reviewed" before starting the engine to make sure that we will reach the destination without complications.
1. Learn "computer" is not going to a course of three months to press buttons and move a mouse: computing is a complex science and learning it requires seriousness, dedication and perseverance. The general knowledge is necessary, but specialization is the difference between being a "simple username" and an "expert." If you do not want to become an expert, will become without a doubt one of the bunch of "users", and unless you plan to use the computer as a tool applied to another task that has nothing to do with the computer itself, this condition will not be sufficiently useful for employment in the computer area.
2. Make sure you know what is involved in the specialization that you want to and if you want to work in information technology, Evolve heavily on a small group of majors : Sometimes, a specific type of work involves tasks that are not pleasant, although the vast majority of work is. Those who pursue a certain position and created to obtain gratification alone (in addition to good dividends) probably have a misconception about computer science as a way of living. Find out the pros and cons of a specialist before starting to learn. Also, delve into the smallest possible number of specializations to maintain an appropriate focus and get a unique expertise that apart from the rest. Know how many things can be interesting, but specialization is what will give better returns (assuming you still have the idea to make money with your computer studies ...).
3. Make sure you understand technical English fluently: Like it or not like it, English is the language of science and there is no way to escape this universal reality. The best documentation on any topic related to computer science is inevitably in that language, so if you do not learn to read at least previously, it is impossible to be informed properly and securely on any topic. Unless you want to engage in using the computer as design tool (and only for that), learn English before you start.
4. Develop a love of learning itself, and learn how to learn (forgive the redundancy): Although it is proven that anyone can become an expert on any subject seriously just spend 10 years of his life, do depends on the ease with which it is able to assimilate knowledge, which is needed to train and streamline the mind enough to make the "learning curve" lean as possible. This requires real dedication and time. If none of these elements, do not try to learn computers. Depending on the expertise developed in which to decide, you'll find no one who can teach and will have to teach himself by reading documentation and learn by trial and error. Avoid believe that the solution is to make a couple of queries in a web browser or a specialized forum. You'd be surprised at how many ways there are to do the same, and what is the relationship between what are considered good and no, and I'm not counting the cases in which some joker appears far-fetched ideas while technically convincing to confuse any novice, so learn to understand and discern.
5. Make sure you consult the appropriate sources of information : Go to any school that teaches "computer" is not the proper way to learn. Search references inquire, talk with others who have had experiences in places where schools displayed as possible attend. Take seriously the choice of where you are learning. See how successful they have obtained those who have gone to school XXX to find out if it really can be taken as reference. Do these schools have courses fame touting international recognition, but hardly verifiable. Courses start "or" short courses "do not show the tip of the iceberg, only shrapnel, and the difference is in the field of battle. If you really want to be a specialist, start by making a formal course at the Faculty of Engineering, and enjoy the free time you can get in deeper any topic that interests you really.
6. Prepare and predispose to deal with several pages of seemingly unintelligible acronyms : IP, TCP, SCSI, UDP, ICMP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, HTTP, IPSec, VoIP, VLAN, TMDA, APOP, SAAS, OOP, SQL, SSL, MAC, SPF, SGML, PPP, LBA, IPv6, SAS, XML, USB, BGP, IGRP, TLS, PoE, SRS, ARP, DoS, FQDN, RDP, MPLS, VNC, ASCII, DMA, IRQ, MMX, RTFM ... If you could not easily identify and broken down into constituent terms at least 10 of these acronyms and perhaps they computer is not their profession. May one day be ashamed of the "nerd" who is to be able to describe them all, but if not able to remember and understand what they mean, probably not a good idea to try to learn computers, and that is full of abbreviations how are you and understand what mean it can take hours of required reading (to give a simple idea, imagine that to understand what the abbreviation is POP3, you must read a document of 23 pages. Ah ... do not know English ...? did not read the third item in this list!?). Note that among these abbreviations are not trademarks or pet names (although some may like the idea of \u200b\u200busing them for this purpose), and not worth just memorize them, you also have to understand its meaning!
7. Get used to see on the Internet, specialized forums and subscribe to mailing lists on topics of interest: do not need to participate, but at least be informed about the technical issues that are important and attractive. Avoid the temptation to ask questions about subjects you do not know anything at all. Seek referrals and information in the most authoritative sources possible before commenting. If necessary, ask for references on where to look (if you already tried unsuccessfully to find good quality information) but do not ask if you tried before ... If you ask something, please read the document called "How to ask questions the smart way" and understand what it means. It will save you time and pain (head and self-esteem).
8. Avoid hanging out with other "wannabe" who want to be "hackers" Normally, they are beginning to believe it is "cool" into other people's computers and steal data or cause, but rarely are able to do anything but come on written recipe step by step. Contact with these people is bad for their focus and objectivity. Do not let it sow the seeds of panic paranoid, and have time to worry when you have to protect a network of "crackers" (yes, like cookies, but flesh and blood). In fact, this type of character misunderstood the concept that represents the word "hacker", so I just talk about "hacking" thinking they know what it is and have no idea that to be a hacker, you have to work very hard. If you really want to be a HACKER, become an expert in any field of computing, to participate, if learned enough, to teach and explain, and suddenly, one day without realizing who understand the subject it will be calling HACKER (or any other terms associated with the expertise).
9. Learn to adapt quickly to changes and work under intense pressure: If changing challenges and lack of time are not to your liking, or if your tolerance to stress is low and perhaps they want to dedicate yourself to something less complicated and simple. There are people who can not cope with this kind of thing and actually ends in very poor condition. No shame in that, may be due to physiological question and can often come from a nutritional or metabolic problem (lack of absorption of certain minerals or vitamins, hormonal imbalances) and not have to be a determining factor may be supplemented by treatment. Be mentally stable clean is essential for the acquisition of sound knowledge and to work in computer science. Adaptability is a quality highly prized in this area, so those who are able to adapt faster, reach further. If you live on the computer, you may be entering one of the groups at risk of heart disease and mental instability. I know because the voices in my head I repeat it constantly ...
10. be prepared to coach trusted family and friends probably a good source of case studies and practical, very useful during the study period when one still does not have enough experience, but eventually you will find that their knowledge will require to wonder if he did well, telling acquaintances and friends what I was studying, because the questions and problems arising from the use of anything that has more 10 key will be derived without regard, because "you're the one who knows about these things." As Thomas Grey said: "where ignorance is bliss, it is crazy to be wise."
I know some of these tips can be applied to other industries that have nothing to do with the computer. Every profession has its technical details and complications, but do not know them all, so que solo me limité a lo que tengo más cerca. Muchos dirán que en realidad es un poco exagerado lo que puse en este documento, pero la realidad y la experiencia me dan la razón. Si me faltó algo, pueden agregarlo como comentario. Prometo hacer las modificaciones correspondientes en este documento para agregar sus ideas también al mismo. Ah, y no me lo agradezcan. Solo puse en papel algunas cosas que son de sentido común, como en el marketing, solo que no se lo voy a vender a nadie... :-)
