Some time ago, we told you about how
Electronic Books represent an improvement in the access to culture. For this reason, every year we organize a
Literature Contest which is aimed at uploading the selected works of authors, mainly unknown. This situation is being called into question by the EU, who blames multinational
Google of heading towards becoming a monopoly. The multinational argues their interest is “to help people find books”.
For a few years, publishers and journalists were forseeing e-books, substituting step by step our old dog-eared pages for magnificient readers! But before the machine was set, an other phenomenon occured: online books.
A book has just been published and it is 100% on line, available in PDF format on a site for Brazilian readers with a forum to discuss issues of common interest. Entitled ‘Understand Internet – ideas, practices and communication challenges on line”, the book is written by 38 Brazilian authors, expert on diverse fields.
Can you imagine all Office applications you use everyday on line? You could keep up an organizer, create a slide show, work with Excel or write a Word document on line. It exists. Just keep on reading.
YouTube has launched an online video editing tool, YouTube Remixer. And although it cannot replace the editing software available in the office, it's enough to make a few basic retouches. Now we can add text, graphics, sounds, and apply cuts, transitions, filters and effects, among other functions, to the videos we post on YouTube.
