About me!!!
About meHi everyone!!!My name is Gabriela Zapata but I usually go by Gaby or Gabs. I was born and raised in Mexico City which is the world's third largest city and I love it. I love its people, culture, and more than anything its amazing night life. For this past three years I went to a boarding school (Villanova Prep) in Ojai, California a small town about 45 minutes from Santa Barbara. Some of my hobbies are playing tennis, drawing, traveling, and going out with my friends -specially if it involves singing and dancing.I've never been a big computer fan, therefore my computer background is quite simple I have none, although I must admit I have become addicted to facebook . I took a computer class a million years ago in middle school pretty much resuming my history in the subject. Regardless of my lack of computer skills I do go on my computer every day mainly for homewrok or communication with my family and friends back in Mexico or California.I consider myself an outgoing open minded person so feel welcome to come talk to me any time you want.Gabriela Zapata

Copyright- regarding Internet images-
In the last class Mr. Jason Hardin was kind enough to explain what copyright means. From what I understood copyright is the governmental recognition of a person's right, as a creator, to be the exclusive profiteer of his/her own intellectual work. It pretty much protects a person's work from its illegal distribution. Copyright is of primordial importance because it encourages the development of arts and sciences (creative activities) among individuals or groups.
According to Mr. Hardin, an article from a newspaper, a chapter in a book, a short story, essay, poem, graph, diagram, drawing, picture may be copied after having permission from the creator and for the copyright protected material. This rule has to be followed regardless of where the person wanting to use this material (in this case an "Internet image") found it.
When getting an image from the Internet it is important to remember to always credit the source of your information, to find out if the author of the work provides any sort of information in how to use his/her work and to, if feasible, get the permission from the owner of the copyright for permission.
