picasa

Lastnight a presentation was done on picasa and I found this very interesting as my niece is always using this program..I, myself have never used this program and now I'm interested in finding more about it and how it works. All I would have to do is asked my niece about it , but I'm thinking she may just skip through it fast as she already knows everything about it and I'll get lost. So I'm thinking of taking a look for myself. I've seen many pictures that she has adjusted and find them pretty neat. I look forward to testing this out....

new gaming vs. old gaming

I was watching the g4 channel last night and they were showing the new game "grand theft auto 4" and to see the graphics on this game is so unbelievable. The gaming industry has come so far. I think is game is definitely not suitable for under 18. I mean the things that are shown on this game is mind blowing. The way sex, drugs, and alcohol are portrayed on this game is so adult. I would hate to see children playing this game. I sometimes wonder why do the gaming industries make games like this. They say that they are for adult players, but that just makes the younger generations want to play them even more, and it is the younger generations that are more apt to play these types of games rather than the older generations. I can still remember when we had Nintendo and Atari, that's when games were fun and family portraying games, but now its more about violence, sex and drugs, like we don't have enough of those to deal with in real life.....my opinion on the new games vs old ones

commercials with digital natives

lately I've been seeing this cute but true commercial about a baby sitting in front of a computer. I was thinking that it just goes to show you how in fact the world of technology is pushing all kinds of technology towards the digital natives of this world and how the digital natives learn to grow with this technology and accept it.

technical difficulties

technology has its ups and downs.....lately at that last few classes there has been so many difficulties, like sound not working, and it was so hard trying to do our class presentation without sound...but we did have a phone, but it seemed weird talking through a telephone as we did, but somehow we managed to get through it....KUDOS to all who had the chance to do their presentations,a job well done, sorry to not have heard a couple of them.
