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.
