Great.

okay, well, so today we got our "project" which i'm guessing is our assignment for this term(greeeaaaat [note the sarcasm?])

well, for this assignment we have to sample certain websites that could be used to present our "project"on. we could get to choose from scrapblog, notaland, pageflakes, protopage, and notebook (who came up with these names?) but i only have to post about two, and we had to answer questions about it on:

1.Versatility- What media does it allow me to use ? (e.g text, images, video, you know, the usual)

2.Ease of Use- How friendly is the user interface for the designers? How easy is it to add components to my presentation? How friendly is the user interface for the user, can visitiors find what they need on your presentation?

3.Collaboration- How well does the online tool allow me to work with my partner? Can we both work on the presentation together? (well, i'm gunna work by myself, so i guess this question is irrelevent)

well, i better get to work.

The World of Multimedia

no little intro in this post. deal.

1. Where do you commonly use multimedia in your daily life? I use multimedia pretty much everywhere, at school when i'm in IST or at the library, at home, when i'm on the computer, or listening to my ipod, when i'm watching tv, or a DVD, when i'm using my phone. Those are the main ones i use.

2. What multimedia device or service would you find it hardest to be without? Discuss. I would probably find it hardest to be without my computer, because if i didn't have it, i would have my music (cause it's all on there) and i wouldn't be able to do assignments or any research on it, and i wouldn't be able to talk to my friends after school (well, i have a phone, but i hate calling people and talking on the phone) or during holidays (yeah i could meet up with them, but how would i be able to when i don't have a computer and hate talking on the phone?) on msn. OR my ipod, or CD's and my Supernatural season DVD's (freaking awesome show !)

3.Think the video on future directions (second video) will come true? Do you see any advantages/disadvantages to the use of technology? well, i think that at the rate new technology is becoming available to pretty much everyone, it's only a matter of time before everyone has everything. Some advantages would be that things would be easier and less time consuming for people and it would be a lot easier for people to communicate from further and further away. There would be some disadvantages though, like people would get lazy and they'd rely on this technology and when/if that techonology goes wrong, we'd be screwed, and also, with everything too available, i'd imagine people would get sick of it all, and it might be like they, get it, then they realize that they never really wanted or needed it, but they just wanted it cause they thought it would've been harder to get or something, and then they'd have just wasted all this money (cause that stuff'd be expensive) on something they don't even want. WHAT A WASTE.

well, that's enough babbling on for this post.
