Now, the VOA Special English program WORDS AND THEIR STORIES. Computer technology has become a major part of people's lives. This technology has its own special words. One example is the word mouse. A computer mouse is not a small animal that lives in buildings and open fields. It is a small device that you move around on a flat surface in front of a computer. The mouse moves the pointer, or cursor, on the computer screen. Computer expert Douglas Engelbart developed the idea for the mouse in the early nineteensixties. The first computer mouse was a carved block of wood with two metal wheels. It was called a mouse because it had a tail at one end. The tail was the wire that connected it to the computer.

Using a computer takes some training. People who are experts are sometimes called hackers. A hacker is usually a person who writes software programs in a special computer language. But the word hacker is also used to describe a person who tries to steal information from computer systems. Another well known computer word is Google, spelled g-o-o-g-l-e. It is the name of a popular "search engine" for the Internet. People use the search engine to find information about almost any subject on the Internet. The people who started the company named it Google because in mathematics, googol, spelled g-o-o-g-o-l, is an extremely large number. It is the number one followed by one-hundred zeros. When you "Google" a subject, you can get a large amount of information about it. Some people like to Google their friends or themselves to see how many times their name appears on the Internet. If you Google someone, you might find that person's name on a blog. A blog is the shortened name for a Web log. A blog is a personal Web page. It may contain stories, comments, pictures and links to other Web sites. Some people add information to their blogs every day. People who have blogs are called bloggers. Blogs are not the same as spam. Spam is unwanted sales messages sent to your electronic mailbox. The name is based on a funny joke many years ago on a British television show, "Monty Python's Flying Circus." Some friends are at an eating place that only serves a processed meat product from the United States called SPAM. Every time the friends try to speak, another group of people starts singing the word SPAM very loudly. This interferes with the friends' discussion – just as unwanted sales messages interfere with communication over the Internet.

Know the Project: Books of English, from English 1 to 5, for all the CBTIS of the United Mexican States.
The Students can do the organization as they like it; but absolutely, the Responses are written by hand, and the Works are Presented by Groups with a Maximum of 5 persons. «I formulated a project for the CBTIS (Technological Industrial and of Services Center of Bachelor Degree) 107 of Tuxtepec, Oax., México consisting in giving to the Library of this Institution with five volumes of English language, of my authorship. A book for each semester, from the first English book to fifth English book (according to the plan of studies in this regard of the CBTIS). At no cost to the Institution, because this is a donation (in the staff, I solve my expenses of the project with income of my employment as a professor that I would be in this CBTIS). One of the major advantages of this project is to solve the need of the student of spending in books of English language because the books will be at your complete disposal into the student community in the Library of the institution. Afterward, in an immediate subsequent phase of this project is that among the student community of this CBTIS and all the CBTIS of the United Mexican States will have these 5 volumes of English language by means of a page of Google; read it, neither cost nor restriction to obtain them. Well, as a last note, I must say that these books will have the format of 'workbook'. This, as an intelligent work with foundations and then their respective exercises to resolve, into a concurrent process». M.C. Enrique Ruiz Díaz.
