King Kong

I just had to put this in here. I was watching tv the other night and I seen the old King Kong movie and I bust out laughing because the animation was so old. It was limited in so many ways compared to what computer graphics can do today. When I watched the new King Kong it seemed like that big gorilla was real. You could read he's facial expressions and the comparison was crazy. The technology that we have today is amazing.

emails

I am a person that does enjoy using email as a communication/conversational tool. Its very convenient to forward important messages and to communicate across the country without the long distance charge. I ask myself if I am able to aduquetly convey meaning through the ever endless emails that i recieve. The answer is 50/50 its not always on my behalf that i don't understand the meaning but the sender the other half of the time. Sometimes people don't proof read what they have just sent you and your reading this message and you interpret it in a way not intended. The one netiquette element that I learned about in the reading was using an automated reply. I think its good to have as a tool because if some one knows that thier emails are not getting through to you then they may try another way to get a hold of you. If i were to add one more to the list in the text book it be try to keep em nice n short .

Epic 2015

I watched the epic video that was part of the response paper and it had me thinking about how powerfull technology has become. When I was a kid I was amazed at super nintendo and as the years went by it just keeps blowing my mind away. I wonder what the next new invention is going to be.By the year 2015 if the words are true in the epic video there would only be digital media and that would knocked out every newspaper company in the nation. What else would be next? What about people who can not afford this kind of technology, where would they be left standing?

hey everyone, I was watching a movie the other day called Die Hard 4. Its about this man who used to work for the US government and he turns on them and turns bad guy. He turns the whole US into a big panic after he starts hacking into systems that are crutail to US. He starts causing massive traffic jams by turning all the lights green. He then crashes the New York stock exchange, disables the satellites, and he takes over all tv stations all over the country. He does all this from inside a room with about 20 computers and a hand full of hackers. He took away everything people take for granted everyday and the whole country didnt know what to do and in the movie they called this digital terrorism.
While I was watching this movie I asked myself ''what would we do if this ever did really happen''. Today in our lives our families and our countries are dependant on technology. If we had no more cell phones, no computers and no satellites it would feel like we would be living in the stone ages. Its just something to thik about I guess.
