What I Want to Learn More

In this semester, we learned many things such as Windows, Power Point, Hardware, and so on in the class. However, I know they are not enough to understand about computers, and there are some things that I want to know about computers. First, I want to try to edit photos or videos. I like to take pictures, but I know only keeping them in a folder in a computer. I want to do more developed thing by using these photos. As same as photos, I want to use videos that I film and make something good (I’m not sure what it is…). Next, I want to know how to copy DVD into another DVD. There are many DVDs I want, but I cannot buy all of them because of lack of money, so I want to copy them. It is much cheaper than buying all!! Maybe, I will be poor at computer forever, but I will be able to do my best to understand. I will try to understand as hard as possible.

What Is Viral Video?

Have you ever heard the term “viral video”? I had never. Viral Video is a video clip that is broadcasted through the Internet. For example, You Tube, which is a very popular site now, is one of the viral videos, and in the site, people can see many kinds of video clips freely. Now, cell phones with video camera become common in many areas, so people can film easily and cheaply. These videos, most of which are made by armatures, are not for business. Also, these are short form such as few minutes’ video clips rather than long form like TV programs or movies. As other examples of viral video, Broadcaster, Ziddio.com, Google Video, and the like are existed on the Internet.

Now, let's practice to draw SpongeBob through the viral video,You Tube!!

If I could buy any computer gifts for my friends or family, I would present a camera that can be in a computer to my parents. I don’t know what the name is, but I remember that we talked with Mr. Poza’s father through internet by using the camera in class. The video and voice were enough to talk. Since using the camera through internet doesn’t need any extra money, we can talk without worrying about cost. Maybe, I will miss my family after going to the U.S, but talking thorough telephone is very expensive because of different countries. Therefore, I would like to buy the camera to my family, especially my parents. Then I sometimes want to talk with my family.

Network Neutrality

I have never heard “ network neutrality”, and I cannot understand the term well even though I search about it by using Internet. Network neutrality is “the principle that Internet users should be in control of what content they view and what applications they use on the Internet. The Internet has operated according to this neutrality principle since its earliest days”(http://www.google.com/help/netneutrality.html). Also, it says, “Net neutrality is a major issue as the U.S. considers new telecommunications laws. The U.S. House of Representatives passed its telecommunications bill, H.R. 5252, in May, without adequate net neutrality protections”. I am not sure, but it seems that the term has been debated in America for a long time, and recently, Japan has also started debating about it since 2006 according Internet. Now, there are both opinions that “net work neutrality” is good or bad.
