Roger Tomlinson

Hello everyone, In this post I’ll talk about Roger Tomlinson Roger Tomlinson was an English geographer who lived in Canada and I admire him because he created computerized geographic information systems or GIS. Tomlinson was a member of the Order of Canada, which is the highest honor a civilian can receive. In the 1960s he worked for the Government of Canada as director of regional planning systems with the department of forest and rural development, and at this time, he planned and led the development of the first computerized GIS in the world, in other words, the first computerized GIS was Canada's geographic information system. Geographic information systems are important because they function as tools that integrate components that allow analyzing, organizing, manipulating, and modeling a large amount of data linked to spatial references. GIS is used to develop cartography, to support environmental impact studies, to evaluate resources, and for other things that can be done eff...

A photograph that I like

Hello everyone, In this post I’ll talk about a photograph that I like This photograph shows a strange individual, it seems to have the face of an ant, but its eight legs indicate that it is a spider. It is a crab spider that mimics an ant. I read that there are many species of spiders that mimic the appearance and behavior of other species and infiltrate the colonies of their victims, so this spider was probably eating clueless ants. I really like photography because I find it funny to see the spider in disguise and on its face you can see an expression of surprise or disappointment, I think it knew they discovered his deception. The photograph was taken by Ripan Biswas in 2019, it is called The Face of Disappointment, I found it in the National Geographic's Best Photographs of Wild Nature exhibition of 2019 and in this exhibition it won in the category of Animal Portraits. Thanks for reading my post!

My favorite TV shows

Hello everyone, in this post I will talk about my favorite TV shows. I watch a lot of television shows, so I find it difficult to choose my favorites, but for this post I will. My two favorite television shows are "Jane the Virgin" and "The Good Place". "Jane the Virgin" tells the story of Jane Villanueva and is about Jane being pregnant after being artificially inseminated by mistake. While "The Good Place" centers on Eleanor Shellstrop who lived as a bad person and when she died was accidentally sent to the good place, this place is a utopia in which good people are rewarded. I like these TV shows because they have a great sense of humor. In addition, its characters are charismatic and heterogeneous, so they show the importance of good coexistence and empathy. Of these two series I recommend seeing "The Good Place" because it has short chapters and tells a great story. Also, I want to tell you that in the future I would like to see ¨M...

My favorite piece of technology

Hello everyone, In this post I'll talk about my favorite piece of technology. My favorite piece of technology is the smartphone because these can multitask and it's easy to take with you everywhere. My smartphone is the only technology that I use every day. Everyone I Know uses a smartphone, these devices work like a small computer, store large amounts of data, and have the functions of a phone, calculator, watch and computer. I had my first smartphone when I was fifteen years old and used it all the time on social media, but now I use it to search for information, communicate with my friends or answer e-mails. If I didn't have a smartphone, I would have to buy a watch, a calculator, and take my computer everywhere, that would be very uncomfortable. Thanks for reading my post!
