Hello! How are you? I 'm fine, thank you.

Today’s topic is what I wanted to study in CPS 100. By the way, I realized I did not really know computer’s convenient use. So I have been surprised. Now I am more curious than before because this course is just “introduction of computer”. There should be lots of interesting feature of computers.

I take sociology in this semester, and now I have to do collect survey and organize answers for my paper. To take survey is interesting, and I am excited. However, the work is heavy for me. Therefore, I want to know Excel well. It would help me to organize them and look smart.

I am also interested in programming. It is new world for me. If I learn about programming, I will find lots of new. I am curious. I think it make me feel fun.

Hello!

This is big news. I bought digital camera. Wow, it cost about 26000 yen. The maker is canon. Type is “IXY digital 5.0 mega pixels”. I also bought a 512 MB SD card.

This is my challenge for digital camera. I research a little bit about functions.

Now, I know how different optical zoom and digital zoom are better than before.

I also notice that most stores like Yodobashi Camera or Big Camera only display brand-new ones. Thus, most cameras cost over 30000 yen, and they contain average pixels of more than 5 million. Most of them say 7 million pixels or something.

Holy cow!

I do not need so many pixels! So, I started to look for cheaper one on the Internet. It is better for me. There are many old types of digital camera, but it is nice enough to use.

Now, I am satisfied with this camera.

What is possible in the future?

It is a big question for me because I have a lot of hope that I want computers to be.

One of the strongest hopes is that computer connects every machine in my house, and my voice can control every thing in order. It is my hope, but I think it will be possible soon.

Now, I change my hope. I want computer to do action on my will. It means I want them to move as I think. At this time, I don’t need keyboard and mice. All I have to do is just to think.

Oh, how lazy I am!

When I want to take a bath, just I think so. When I want to clean my house, only imagine.

I love my laziness!

Viva my laziness!

Laziness help world!

Laziness keep world peaceful!

Internet or Paper?

Traditionally, canvasses of newspaper are active in Japan. In fact, a canvasser visited my home just few days ago. Yomiuri and Asahi Shimbun are two of the popular newspaper, and they are most eager to get people who read their newspaper. The job looks very hard because canvassers do not always succeed to expand new customers. Moreover, the progress of Internet influenced paper more than anything.

Today, there are lots of information and news on the Internet. Most of them are free. Daily news is also got without money. People who live alone do not need newspaper which covers all type of information, and especially students do not have time for reading. It is true to know what is happening in world, but Japanese news papers contain lots of extra parts. In addition, they cost 3500~4000 yen. If people do not read so much, online news or newspaper are better because they are free, if any, cheap and little space.

Let me introduce someone’s … yes, someone’s blog! Let’s call him or her as X.

I read almost everyone’s blogs, and many people have good pictures and interesting coloring. X’s blog also has good pictures which make the concepts clear.
One of the interesting points is the progress. X’s blogs became easy and easy to read. We entered only four, but X progresses very well.
X’s elaborate sentences are interesting. This may be too much admiration, but I think it does not show only X’s condition but also X’s complex mind delicately. I must say the blog is like No. 1 candy work.

Do you know who I mentioned?

If you have an idea, that will be an answer. You can believe your guess. This means I started with no idea. I'm sorry.

The Next Computer

I decided the next computer is Macintosh.

The reason is my instructor of computer class. I have used Windows for seven years. There is only one reason why I have used Windows. It is just many people use. Then, the more years I get used Windows, the less opportunity I try to Macintosh.

However, I changed my mind since I do not know which is better, and there are many people who prefer Macintosh. I'm going to try it.

First, I have desktop computer, but I think when I go to university or college, laptop will be better.

Second, Speed.

Speed is not so important. however, memory (RAM) is important. I want to at least 1GB.

I want a good display, but recent monitor has better quality.

How about ports? I will use computers for presentation. Thus, it is important to connect computer and monitors.
Now, I want “4-inch;1.42GHz iBook G4”. I will add 512 more memory and less hard disk.

Noma Noma Yeah!
Internet became very usual, and each one family has almost one computer. Thousand of thousand of people watch the same pages.

Then, in Japan, a scenario was born on the Internet. It is named as “Densha-Otoko” The story was born in “2-channel”

The site contains huge board. Many many people visit, and type their own claim. They use anonymous, so they write what they want really.

“Densha-Otoko” was produced by lots of people who visit “2-channel” When the tale became movie, one problem happen. Who has the copy right? Anonymous become a problem.

Recently, Avex produce new item, which is called Nomaneko. It is really similar to Mona, which was born in “2-channel” Finally, Avex gave up, but this problem is still serious. Nomaneko dolls are in UFO catcher.

By the way, “noma” means to drink, and “neko” means cat. Therefore, Nomaneko is a cat who drinks.

When I was three or four years old boy, my dream was to be a bomb.

Now, I know it is seriously dangerous to be a bomb since I realized how strong a bomb explodes.

Why did I have such perilous dream?

It was because of fireworks. On a summer night, various colors of sparks fly to all directions in sky comfortably. To fly pleasantly is one of my dreams, and I like the magnificence of the sphere. I watched displayed fireworks with such feelings.

When fireworks are display, computer has really important roll because timing is important to display fireworks. The exactitude of timing is truly necesary to demonstrate waht firework makers image. In this way, controlled fireworks are make flowers bloom in night sky.

Computer also prevents people who work nearest to cylinders from a burn or even a death.

After I watched “project X”, I took a fancy to fireworks again.

I want to buy my friend software which can demonstrate exactly what people image without typing or operation of program. It is because he is really lazy and interesting guy.

First, let me describe who he is. He was one of my friends at high-school. He and me often tried to write something funny in boring class. His writings were truly funny and interesting.

If he were more patient and he did not lose interest while his writing a book, the book would be a best seller.

If he directs a film, the film will be watched by as many people as “Titanic”.
His ideas really impressed me.

In his mind, usually giraffes fly and waterfall rise. It is definitely unusual world. However, every event made me fun because those events were not only unusual but also considered very carefully to make people fun.
I’m sorry I can’t explain my impression because of my writing skill.
However, I am sure that if that software was invented, people will enjoy their life more.

By the way, “Buy”, I said in first sentence, means I am willing to invest as much as possible to invent that software and to buy for my friend.

My history with computer began terribly, horribly, and unbelievably.

The first time a computer came to my house was also my first time to touch a computer. Before the time, I felt a little confidence because I could push the button of television and video camera correctly.

It was apparently misunderstanding.
Thus, I touched my first computer without any fear. As a consequent, I faced enormous terrible events. Even now, I feel fear these accidents.

Many windows appeared one after another, and I could not manage them.

Then, my computer suddenly froze.
I did not understand computer terms, and pushed some bottoms without thinking.
Finally, I pushed power bottom, and next time I turned on the computer, unusual screen was appeared. Holy cow!
After several days, account was sent to me!!!
After that, I decided to ask how to use computers.
