Blog de tecnologia en català

Davant la incertesa causada pels responsables polítics en promoure l'aplicació del TIL, i els quatre autos dictats el dia 23/09/14 pel Tribunal Superior de Justícia de les Illes Balears, en els que s'estimen els recursos presentats en contra de l'aplicació del TIL, em sembla raonable crear un blog en català, a més del que ja vaig crear en anglès.

En aquest blog presentaré informació que espero sigui d'interès i ajuda per a les persones que segueixen el desenvolupament del curs de tecnologia de segon d'ESO.

Reading - The instrument that changed the way we write

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41039029/ies%20mossen%20alcover/sound_files/birome.mp2

Ladislao Biro was the man who changed the way we write thanks to his famous invention: the ballpoint pen. Biro was born in Budapest but he moved to Argentina at the invitation of the president of the country at the time, Agustin Pedro Justo.

While Justo had been staying at a hotel abroad, he noticed Biro signing a document with a prototype of the ballpoint pen he had invented. The president's interest was sparked and he invited the inventor to develop his project in Argentina.

The story goes that Biro, a journalist by profession, was uncomfortable working with his fountain pen, which often got clogged up while he was writing. One day he was watching some children playing with balls in the street and he saw that when the balls rolled into a puddle, they left a trait of water when they rolled out on the other side. This is how he got the idea for his invention: adding a tiny sphere to the writing instrument. He patented it in Hungary in 1939, but the prototype was never I marketed.

That is how, in 1940, Ladislao Biro, along with his partner Jorge Meyne and his brother George Biro, founded a company in Argentina to launch the invention onto the market under the trade name Birome (a combination of the names Biro and Meyne).
