WOW.. Ok..

Well, I have to admit I was AMAZED by this incredible video because it's real unbelievable stuff.. I actually couldn't believe this.. I have to say this is really AMAZING technology but sincerely I wouldn't want one of these because I see it too complicated for me to use it.. Plus, I dont like technology that much.. just the basic stuff. While I was watching the video I was thinking of how advanced are things now in days and how much more will it keep advancing. I'm just really impressed of how things are geting better and better with time.


What I feel are the greatest things about technology is the great access to information and the facilities it offers you everywhere... anywhere.! Another great thing about it is the fun, cool way you can do things with technology and how easy you can handle your life without having to do more than just a CLICK! This new stuff is awesome for "technology lovers" cause they have everything in the palm of their hands!


"Open Source", also known as "The Free Software" is the denomination of the software that respects the freedom of the users on his acquired product and, therefore, once obtained it can be used, copied, studied, changed and redistributed freely. I think this is somewhat good for the Software's Owner because as I said before, it can be used, copied, studied, changed and redistributed freely, which makes it much easier.

CommeRcials..

Paragraph 1: Do you like/love/dislike/hate them? why? Are there other commercials that stick out in your mind as having had a profound effect on you? Why do you think that was? Please include a link to a commercial that you reference in your post.
Paragraph 2: What elements are you going to use in your commercial? What challenges are you expecting to face in this project.

....

Paragraph 1: Yes, I liked the commercials we saw in Class, they were pretty good. Some of them were very funny and one of them, the "Zazoo Condom Commercial", was my favorite, I actually loved it, & here's the link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K45m79fEyz8.
There are other commercials that stick out in my mind as having had a profound effect on me.. for example, many of the Coke Commercials and the beer "Corona" one's are pretty cool too.. they are long, interesting kind of commercials that you never forget.

Paragraph 2: Since we are working on a video about a Commercial in Computer Class.. our teacher told us to check out and see some "already existing" commercials as examples for us to get an idea about the bussiness. Most of the commercials were funny.. some of them SUPER FUNNY and actually made their point. I love how people use funny, ironic, satirical situations to make a commercial. Many of these are actually parodies about actual things that are .. silly? ridiculous? ..? Anyway, they were cool videos and they worked good as commercials because they were able to make a point. Maybe i'll use some of these elements too.. or maybe i'll use the "documental/informative" way like enterviewing someone about a product or place (bussiness).. I think that's gonna be my challenge for this project.

Video Proposal

For my video,
I will ask my friend Eric Sauer to give me his opinion about a certain product, for example, he's New I-touch. He will tell the audience (camera) about his cool I-touch and explain what he likes about it and why is it useful. He will the continue by telling us why should everyone have one and how are much are they going to enjoy it .He will talk about the many "cool-functions" this product has and persuade us until he make us want to buy it. He will be passionate and cool about it, showing off how he loves to have an I-touch in his hands.

Texting Problem

We all know the risks and consequences of "texting" right? It is logical. If you are willing to take a nude picture of you and send it to someone else.. then that's your decision. Even more, if she's already 18 years old she should take better care and responsibility about her actions. No one but her is guilty about what happened, and, i mean, you are free to do whatever you like with your person.. but if you are going to do those kinds of things then do them with decision! If you are going to send a nude picture of you to another person, as much as you love or trust in this person, there's always about the 99.9% that they will betray on you. So, If you think on doing something like that, then do it, and if this person to whom you send a nude picture of you then sends it to a thousand more friends, then be 0kay with it (deal with it), because you knew something like this could happen and you still didn't give a damn. There has been many other examples of this problem and many of the "victims" are not killing themselves because, well, they know what they did and what the consequences were, so they just deal with it and ignore "harassing" or "mean comments" or "making fun". Besides, if you have the "guts" or are sufficiently careless about doing this kind of actions, then there's no way you would think of killing yourself because of the consequence. I think it's smarter to just accept it and be like "0k yeah, i did it, whatever"(if you already did and you're in problems now).

In other hand, about blaming the school... THE SCHOOL has nothing to do with the problem. A school can control sooo many students and make them not PASS THE NUDE PICTURE! The school did what it was to be done and apparently it didnt work but its not their fault. I think that this girl, Jessica, shold've just thought better before doing this. I truly vbelieve it was the parent's and the girl's fault because they were both who decided this to happen. This girl was just not thinking in the consequences and was to weak to go through her problem.. and also, didnt have the strenght and support (consolation) from her parents. They were just both guilty.. not the school.

New Security Measures

Facebook has new security measures due to the great amount of private and important information it contains. There were many rumors about Facebook giving information to kidnappers and other people so they could know everything about the users. Facebook has now enforced its security to make its users feel safer and more comfortable with their account. There has been modifications on Facebook's security.. now you can make EVERYTHING private (lock it) or choose who can actually see your information. Everything was included in this new application.. photos, profile information, status, etc. Now everything is secure and private for every Fcaebook user!

The thing about posting videos and quotes about people from the school (TEACHERS).... IS NOT A BIG DEAAAAAAAAAAAL!! I seriously don't get why teachers (not all of them, but most of them) in this school think they are God or something. They all think they don't deserve to be joked with or anything. I think tha tposting videos and quotes is fun and funny... its not a big deal or something disrespecful! I love when people post videos and quotes about people.. .ITS FUNNY!

Use Of TechnoloGi

Since I have memory, technology has always been there for me.. First of all, I've been in the American School pf Puerto Vallarta all of my life and since we were in primary, Miss. Olivia taught us computer class and we learned a bunch of fun stuff! We first started using the "PAINT" program, working on circles, squares, triangles, colors, bucket, paint brush, pencil, etc, etc... then we learned how to use Microsoft Word, then we passed to Microsoft Excel and passed to use internet, starting with Google, Hotmailm etc.

When we got to High School, technology became even more FUN and useful. I started to use internet for everything.. Hotmail, Myspace, Google, Sparknotes, Powerschool, This, That.. a whole lot of good stuff. Computers are super, super, super, important and necessary. Technology is just lovely and amazing; is, and has always been there for me, helping me in everything I need! I really don't know how would it be without them.. they are everything!! They facilitate things for us, we can communicate in from any part of the world, we can type homeworks, watch videos, movies, listen to songs.. DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING!

The five most important and useful programs for me are Google, Hotmail, Messenger, Powerschool, and Microsoft Word. You can have everything you need from these beautiful programs. They help me with everything. If I need to know something I search GOOGLE... If I need to send something I use Hotmail... then.. If I need to type some homework I use Microsoft Word, to quickly communicate with friends I use messenger, and the most important thing.. POWERSCHOOWL to chech my beautiful grades! =) Overall, i just have to say one thing....

Technology Rocks My Life!

Alicia's Rotoball Project!

Hello everyone!

I'm going to tell you about my Rotoballio Project!
Well, first of all, I just wanna say I loved it... it was pretty easy and fun to do... I received Eric's help and everything but I actually could finish it and I liked it very much! I love how I traced it and how real the figure looks. I had some trouble with the BALL part because it ended moving real slow and kind of out of place.. but I still liked it. My rotoball didn't have much action but I actually wanted that way.. I didn't wanted to put much on it because I like simple stuff. I believe that the part that I had more trouble with was moving the BALL ... =S But, overall it was wonderful... this was the assignment that I most liked of all.. and... if I were to do this assignment with next year's seniors I would put more time and creativity on it. Although I got sick and were absent two work days I had some trouble and had to rush a little when I was back, but I believe that wasn't much of a problema because my good friends Heather & Erikk helped me enough and I was able to finish my pretty projectio.
...
I really enjoyed working on this.
