What More Would You Like To Learn?

So far I learned the basic thins about computer; Microsoft windows, HTML, and so on.

Now, I want to learn about graphic and music.

I am interested in computer graphic; therefore, I like to watch animation movies. Now, there are many movies that are used by computer graphic. What I like is “Finding Nemo”. This is a movie made by computer graphic. When I watched it at first, I was so surprised. It is because the scene is like rarity, and each character is so cute. Also, I like “Star Wars”. In this movie, there are many special effects which make the movie more excited.

In the future, I wan to be graphic designer who can make such a wonderful movies !!!
Therefore, I want to learn about graphic.

Vital Video

When I saw the word “viral video”, I think it is like a computer virus. It is because VIRAL video. However the meaning of this is different from what I thought.

Viral videos mean video clip(CM). So why are called “viral video”? The reason is that the videos are very funny; therefore, peopele are spread by word of mouth.

There is another question; why is viral video interesting? It is because there are less regulation on the Internet that that on television. In other words, “viral video is limited commercial on the Internet. As a result, viral videos can be too sexy or extremely humor.

One year ago, this began to be popular in America and European countries. There are some companies for vital videos. Many people use this video on their own blogs.

What Will Computers Be Like in the Future?

Computers are must for our lives; they are so handy and useful. However I think that in the future, computers will be more useful.

Now, we use computers with typing keyboard. In other words, we control computers. But in my opinion, computer will be able to communicate with people. Therefore, I think keyboard will disappear because people will not need to type any more.

In addition, computers will be much smaller than now. Now, there are laptop computers, which are small. However, I heard news that one Japanese company invented special screen for computers. It is so new because screen is like a piece of paper, so people can carry easily.

If it comes true, I think the world become more useful.

Computer News

When I heard “computer news”, I thought that it was not relevant to my life. However, I was surprised at the news about computers recently. It was about my computer, Sony.

One month ago, the president of Sony announced the following message, “ the batteries of our laptop computers have possibility of ignition”. When I hear the news on the Internet, I was so surprised because I used my computer at that time. Therefore, I searched Sony’s homepage. It said that the following types of batteries have to be changed for new one. In addition, it said that if you use this now, please stop to use now. It took a lot of courage for me to check my laptop.

Fortunately, mine is fine, so I was so I felt secure of that. After that the cause of the defect on batteries was founded (I cannot write it because it is to difficult for me) Anyway, this was the interesting computer news for me.

What is "Net Neutrality " ?

The term of Net Neutrality is difficult for me to understand, but it means fair to everyone who use Internet.
In other words, Internet providers should not give their contents and services better treatment than other servises through their network.
The idea of Net Neutrality is to deal justice to all.

In America, this problem was debated in the Senate in 2006. It is because if Net Neutrality is used properly, that means what we use or watch on the Internet is controlled by Internet providers. Control of information is hugely powerful. (for example, Chinese government controlled the Internet because of political reasons.)

In America, there are two opinions. One is that Net Neutrality is important because people cannot decide rightly without fair information. The other says that, there is not free with Net Neutrality. This discussion continue now.

computer gift for my grand mother

If I have money, I would buy a web camera to my grand mother. It is because I can talk her face to face.
Now, my grand mother lives in Ishikawa prefecture, so I cannot go there many times. However, if she can have a web camera, it is easy for me to see her face.
Also, I would give a guide book of computer for her. My grand mother has a computer, but she does not use well. She just usse Internet to find recipes. Therefore I want her to use a computer more than before.
There are many books about computers in book stores; however, almost all books are difficult for her to read. Every word in the book is too small, so if I find the book with big words, I would buy it for her.

What is Social Engineering?

There are three different meaning of social engineering.
In the field of computer security, definition of social engineering is a way to get people’s important information.
A social engineer uses the phones or Internet to trick people to obtain information. The major example of social engineering attack is to use e-mail. However, this mail is not a normal mail. The mail has payload, in other words, computer virus. The problem is that people cannot realize the virus. Therefore, when people receive e-mail, they click, and attack start easily. There is another attack that tricks people. To request password and credit card information is the most effective and simplest way. People have to put this information to set up their account on the Internet, but, in fact, administrator of computer system does not always need this. Social engineering is the best way for computer hackers to get information by simple ways. so, everyone, be carful!!!!!

What I Want To Learn about Computers

I want to learn about a lot of computers.
It is because I use only Microsoft Word, Internet, and music player.
Just three things!!
There are a lot of functions in computers, but I use only three!! Therefore, there are many things that I want to know about computer.
I want to learn drawing pictures and making movies (like computer graphic) the most. Last week, I draw pictures on computer in art class. Drawing on computer is very different from drawing on papers. In computer, I can use cut and copy, and use pictures as a background. It is difficult for me, because there are many ways of drawing that I do not know. However, it was also interesting.
So, I want to learn about drawing soft more.

My History with Computers


This is my computer!
It is Sony!! I bought it three months ago.
This is the most expensive thing that I bought in my life.
In my home, there are two computers. One is my father's computer, and the other is my mother's.
Therefore, I want my own computer.
To get this computer, it took for a long time because I have to earn money to buy this. I worked for supermarket for about one month. Finally when I got this, I was very, very, very happy(^^)/▽☆▽\(^^)
Now, I use this for writing papers and listening to music. I have Walkman (It is Sony too.), so I also use my computer to transfer my music to the player. I think that I use only a few functions (music and word) in the computer, so I want to use other functions that I do not know( ^_^)/.
