WHAT MAKES YOU SPECIAL?

I thinkt hat this project would be very helpful to all human beings. It is becasue even though each and every one of us are different andunique in our own ways, we woudlb e able to find out the similarities that everyone has. This may actually be the solution to racism and prejudice. Even though people are different races and have different kidns of traditions and lifestyles, we may actually find that some came from the same place. Like, we might be able to go back many, many years ago and find out information we may have ever thought of.

ARE Wii THE CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION?

the Nintendo Wii is a game that is very different from all other games. the Wii allows the players to move around, instead of just sitting or standing around. It lets the players to move around just liek how they would play tennis, or boxing, or any other kinds of games it has. The Wii is also wireless which makes it easier for people to move around and play the games. It is also able for anyone of any age to play.

I've played the Wii before, and i must admit it is pretty fun. But to coem to think of it, the Wii stops people from going out. Since the Wii has so many games and sports, people start to stay home all the time and just play that. They would just be stuck at home all the time.

READING IN CYBERSPACE

Google is a very popular search engine that everybody uses. Google can basically access to large amounts of information of any kind. This library-based dignitization would most likely casue issues with Google. It is because Google needs to stay in contact with the publishers in order to have the publisher's work on the internet. But the publisher's may not like the idea of there work on the internet. It is because if all of the publisher's work is on the internet, then there is no use for selling there work elsewhere.

WHEN WAR MEETS VIDEO GAMES

Video games are played by amost everyone, doesn't matter how old or young they are. There are all sorts of different kinds of video games, some are about fasntasy and adventure. But the most popular and most played video games are about war and violence. Almost everyone has played video games about war and violence at least once in there life time. In my opinion, they are very popular and most played because many people enjoy playing it very much. All of my friends play them, and even sometimes, i play them myself as well. I cna pretty much say that video games are addictive, and once you start playing them, it is hard to stop.

AN iPOD CLASSROOM?

In my own opinion, using an iPOD for lecturing students is both a good and a bad idea. It is because students are listening to their iPOD's or their mp3's most of the time anyways. They listen to it almost everywhere they go, places like their school, mall, and even at home. But even though iPOD's are being used most of the time, students may not be able to concentrate and learn from it, if lessons are taught using an iPOD. Many people sometimes fall asleep, when listening to there music. In my opinion, if lessons were taught by using iPOD's students would fall asleep easier, and also they would get even more distracted, because the lesson is only heard, and there is no one there infront of you to make sure you are paying attention. Using an iPOD to learn would be more conveninet though. Students could listen to it over and over again, anytime they want. The lessons would be only taught whenever they press play, and also students would be able to learn to learn and do stuff more independently.

There are good and also bad things about using an iPOD for lectures, and so i am on both sides of it. But for me, i wouldn't really care how the lessons or the lectures are taught and told. Just as long as i do the right work, and also that i finish the work all in time.

There are different kinds of iPOD's and not many people could afford them, and if they can, they usually purchase the cheapest one. The iPOD video is the most expensive iPOD right now, compared to all the other iPOD's. If students purchase the iPOD video, they are able to watch the lessons and the lectures as well. Students using iPOD's could also destroy and ruin there ears, because a while ago, i heard that if people listen to there iPOD's for a very long time than they would become deaf in the future, or something would be wrong with their ears. Alot of people already listen to there iPOD's almost every single day for there music, if they had to also listen to it for lessons and lectures, than something would definetly be wrong with there ears for sure in the future.

Using an iPOD for lectures and lessons, is an is not a good idea. There are many things that goes along with both sides of the situation. For me, i think that it does not really matter. It just all depends on what is being taught and said in the lecture or lesson.

With the GOOD, Comes the BAD

An example of modern-day communication technology that has a good side, and also a bad side is computers. Computers are a very large part of many peoples lives these days. Most human beings use computers almost every single day of there lives. Computers are able to help people, in all different ages, with there daily uses. For example, students are able to use computers for a number of reasons, they can type out their homework instead of writing it out. They can also watch tv and movies, talk online with there family and friends, play different kinds of games, and just browse on the internet. Those are some of the many things that not only students use the computers for. Many other people, like adults, younger children, and elderly people, may also use the computer for some of those reasons. The list of things to do on computers may go on and on.
Even with all the great things that people may use computers for, there is also the negative side to think about. First of all, computers usually make people lose there sense of social communication. When using computers, there is instant messaging and emailing, but people get so used to that, that they barely actually go out and communicate with the real people. Computers have so many different kinds of features that you can just spend your whole day, starring at the monitor screen. If people use computers too much, that can actually harm there bodies. For example, some may get carpal tunnel syndrome for using the keyboard or the mousse for a very long period of time, some may even ruin there eye sights for starring at the monitor screen, for a long period of time. Also some people may feel really down and depressed if they are always just using their computers, and not going out at all. It is because people need to get out of there houses or buildings sometimes to just get some fresh air, instead of always breathing in the same air. That is very unhealthy for people.
Almost everything has a good and a bad side to it. Nothing is only just bad, and nothing is only just good. With the good, comes the bad.
