TENNIS OR PADDLE?

Many people thinks that they're the same thing like, they say : "If you're good at tennis you've to be good at paddle!" But that's not true at all, they have many differences

It's true that tennis requires more strength and it gets more time to finish a game but, in the other hand, paddle is much faster and it has its own technique too.


First, there are 
many aspects that they have in common, that's true ( They're both played with a racquet, with a small green ball, they have two sides with a net in the middle...)

However, there are some differences between those characteristics:


For example, tennis courts are much longer than paddle's ones, and they dont have walls and a fence, as paddle does. The racquets are so much different too, paddle racquets are shorter, with some gaps inside and tennis racquets are large, with some intertwined threads, with a metal ellipse around and the main difference with the balls is that paddle's balls are heavier than tennis' balls.


To sum up,although tennis is played all around the world, i would choose paddle as the best racquet sport, because it's always played between four players ( two by team ) and it's more funny from my point of view.

Videogames - Physical copy Vs. digital download

Since the videogames were born people had always bought their games on a physical way, that means, that people went to the shop and bought their videogames in a CD.
But that changed some years ago when the concept of digital videogames was born.

The biggest advantage that they offered was the total availability of your games if you had an internet connection and you also didn´t need a place to store your games, which, is a problem when you have a lot of them.

The most famous online videogame shop for PC videogames: Steam 

However, you can't lend digital copies of yourgames and that is clearly a problem if you like shearing your games with your friends, and also some people say that they like having their own physical copies


To sum up, I don't really care if the games I buy are physical or not, but nowadays I usually buy them online because they are cheaper, but if they weren't cheaper, I wouldn't mind.

Board games vs Computer games

Are computer games better than board games? Years ago, children enjoied playing board games like monopoly, but now the trend are computer games like GTA.

The biggest advantage that board games have among computer games, is that with board games you can play with all the family and pass a good time.
Another advantage is that board games are really cheaper than computer games.

Nevertheless, board games deteriorate with more frecuency tan computer games and also wuit computer games, you have the advantage that you can play online wuith a person of other part of the world.

To sum up, I really like the two types of games but to play with friends I prefer computer games and to play with family, board games.
