All in all, this subject has been very interesting. Im not too sure if there are any movies that are more boring than the ones that we watched, except for that cool animation about the internet. Oh course that was the best of all the movies. Adam is an awesome tutor, a terrific guy and a great friend. He broke through the bounds of the tutor-student relationship and connected with myself, as well as the rest of his students, on a more personal level. This really allowed the class to run alot smoother and for everyone to work in a stress-free and friendly environment. I enjoyed the course alot and i would like to thank Adam for all his help throughout the semester. He ensured the course was fun, interesting and unlike any other subject.
I wish you all the best with the remainder of the degree and hope we can keep in touch. Thank you for everything and it was because of you that i came to all the tute's that i possibly could, which was most of them anyway.
If there could be one thing i would change about the course it would be to make the lectures more interesting and intreguing. Apart from that, the couse was fine and i enjoyed it throughly.
Thank you Adam and all my class mates for an enjoyable course. there are too many names so ill just name a few. Adam, Krista, Gus, Bossy, Ryhan/rhyan/ryan, caitlin, danny, darly, nay, the two chicks who only talk to eachother, the other girls who kept to them selves and everyone else.
THanks

Week 11 - excel exercise
I found todays excel exercise quite easy and i think it would be most helpful for individuals who have not been exposed to MS excel much in the past. I did not encounter any difficulties, hassels or complications. It was good to touch up on excel and i feel i am more competent and a more capable person with excel now.

Week 10 - My AWESOME assignment
Poisoned Apple
Long gone are the days of the 10 inch vinyl records with an even bigger platform to listen to them on. No more big, heavy and ugly record players. No more tape players and no more deskmen’s. In today’s highly technologically advanced world, Apple’s iPod runs the show. “The popularity of Apple's iPods has swelled and now dominates more than 70 percent of the digital music player market” (Ecommerce times, http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/entertainment/57268.html).
The Apple iPod firstly came into the world on October 23, 2001 and was released into Australia shortly after. The first iPod could hold up to 1000 songs and were quite chunky. Despite the size and weight, the world was taken by storm and the only words on children’s mouths’ were iPod. In the years to come, and with the advance in technology, Apple continued to bring out small music platforms with a bigger capacity for music and files.
Preceding the first generation of iPod came the iPod mini, which had the capacity to hold up to 1000 songs and had the ability to store up to four gigabytes of files. Along with iPod came iTunes; the software necessary to delete, update and buy music and videos, although, at this stage, music was the only compatible file to listen to on the iPod. Since then, iTunes has seen the almost imminent demise of Windows Media Player, as most users of iPod’s, and even those without iPod’s have swapped to an easier and more manageable program that is iTunes.
Although iPod’s can be seen as the best technological advance for a long time, there are a lot of so called ‘faults’ in the concept. IPod’s have the ability to store mass amounts of data in different formats. This may sound like an awesome idea, but when people have access to this information stored anytime they wish, fraudulent and dishonest behaviours run rampid, especially when these particular devices are available in such situations as exams and school environments. “Schools across the country are now targeting digital media players as a potential cheating device” (http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/WireStory?id=3098091&page=2). Having access to notes, questions, answers, images, videos and voice recordings gives cheating a new dimension. This pocket sized ‘book’ of knowledge has raised hell globally and the reign of destruction still continues.
Along with cheating, copyright infringements are coming in a close second in terms of the negative effects of iPods. Apple, although creating the iPod, has tried to steer the consumer away from illegally downloading music then uploading it to their iPod. Apple has released iTunes Music Store to help encourage people to buy songs, pictures and videos in a legal manner. Programs such as Limewire and WinMX are software that use the P2P platform, or the Peer-to-Peer system. This method takes parts of songs from various servers and filters it. In doing this, the authorities can not prosecute anyone for copyright infringement, as the file has been sourced from various places. Apple, through the creation of iTunes, have done their best to stop this illegal activity.
However, if iPods were to only have music, songs and files obtained through iTunes, they would not be as successful as they are nowadays.
Through the vast opportunities associated with iPods, more and more people are looking to modify their device and make it more personal to them. The more personal it becomes to them, the more time they begin to spend indoors or listening to their iPod, or both. Now, with the new game available for Video iPods, reclusive behaviours are becoming a more day-to-day activity. The “iQuiz interface will be enhanced and the game itself will be the first to let players actively share information between each other through custom question lists, according to the description.” (http://www.electronista.com/articles/07/04/18/iquiz.ipod.game.surfaces/)
The word on many of the critic’s lips is ‘antisocialism’. “Frankly, I think that the iQuiz will encourage the younger generations to sit in a corner and play with their iPod rather than play with other children!” (Tolini, M. 2007) The way the advance in software and technology alike, I suspect that in the very near future will be seeing killing games being played on the average, everyday iPod. Where will we be lead after this? Maybe to pornographic games and eventually the demise of ‘The Great Outdoors’? The decision is entirely up to Apple and is at their discretion where they stop this new and imaginative software from destroying our future generations.
The level of sound that iPods can generate can cause detrimental effects to the sensitivity of the inner ear. It has been proven that “music can cause hearing loss if it's loud enough and exposure is long enough. A person can damage his hearing at a live concert or by listening to recorded music.”(http://www.hearinglossweb.com/Medical/Causes/nihl/mus/mus.htm)
The Hearing Loss Website concluded an experiment with the “fact that today's young people seem to be experiencing hearing loss at an astonishing rate, and that personal audio equipment seems to be contributing to that trend. Newsday recently published an article in which they state that twelve percent of children and teens in the US suffer from noise-induced hearing loss!” (http://www.hearinglossweb.com/Medical/Causes/nihl/mus/ipod/ipod.htm)
So, after hours of research, iPods, as written about in many sites, have been proven time and time again to have detrimental effects on the consumer in terms of deception, illegal consumption of music, videos and files, the encouragement of antisocial behaviours and dire consequences on the inner ear as a direct influence of listening to media too loudly. Although this technology is new, creative and enjoyable to use, is the world really ready to reap the wrath in the years to come from the abuse on our bodies now?

Week 10 - microsoft word
I found this weeks tute alright. It was more of a recap from what i have been taught at school rather than all new content. Nevertheless, it was still good to revise on past knowledg. One thing i didnt know how to do was show tracks. I can see how it could be helpful, but i feel it was pointless to do something then have to delete the changes anyway.
That is all.

Week 8 - online tour
Are there things that are possible in one space that are not possible in the other? Could you think of where this sort of application might lead us?
Yes, things are possible in one space that are not possible in the other. Cyber communications can be as simple as an open blog or as complex and private as a locked chatroom or MSN messenger. Taking a tour into the unknown is interesting and i enjoyed doing it.

Week 3, task 2
Thursday 15th March
New Com Tech is fair mad. I dont have people that i only know over the net. That is, as in, i have never seen them or anything like that. I reckon it would be fair weird to be talkin to someone who you have never met or anything before. What if they are some full weirdo pedo or something? Then again, what if they are not? I guess they are the thoughts that go through everyones' head at one time or another.
A cyber communication between people is quite different from a person-to-person interaction. On the net expression, tone and context can be perceived in differing ways, thus, leading to possible speculations about what someone has said. When talking to someone face-to-face these errors can be avioded as it is speech.
I have been using technologies for as long as i can remember. Back when the 'Super Nintendo' was the best and most sophisificated piece of gaming entertainment available and 2D graphics were the new thing, i was there testing my skills against those little bad guys in super mario bros. So i guess this would have to be when i started to use technology. Approx 10 or 11 years ago i would have to say. I started using email when i was 11 or 12, if that answers the question more accurately and directly. I am not 17 turning 18.
The thrill of playing with a device that could suspend my mind in complete illusion would have to be the main feature that influenced me to start using technologies.

Week 2, comp lab 1, 07 March 2007
Im 17 and love to surf. I try to go out in the surf everyday but it is proving to be a challenge these days as i am stuck at uni until 6 on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I do surf lifesaving on the weekend and enjoy the beach and the sun. I dont not like to get sunburnt but as i am albino the sun seems to attack me regardless of how many times i apply sunscreen and zinc. I Think my nose is going to fall off by the age of 20 due the the amount of exposure it had to the sun. Again, the sunscreen and zinc seemingly has no protective qualities, nor does it look too appealing. Then again, in saying this, i couldnt imagine that a non-exsistant nose would look too appealing either. Anyways, this is my 'about me' section and this is all i can think to write about myself at this stage in time. Perhaps i will update it further down the track?!?
The course seems to be not too hard at the present, although this blog has been quite challenging, but Dani has been helping me so that is very nice of her.
