What More Would You Like To Learn?

Though the Introduction to Computers (CPS 100), I could become familiar with computers compares with the past. For example, the lecture in Microsoft Word allowed me to notice beneficial points in writing academic essays or research papers.

For the further learning in manipulating computers in my life, I would like to acquire the skill of editing animations. When I browse some web pages, such as Youtube, I can find interesting hand-made videos there. Also, podcasting has becoming popular. Thus, there are video editors internationally.

I can convey a number of videos though the Internet after I have edited them. However, I sometimes hear that editors can unintentionally invade people’s right, such as copyright and portrait right.

To avoid such troubles and enjoy creating interesting videos, I would like to get appropriate knowledge about methods of making videos and dealing with rules for rights.

Viral VIdeo

Viral Video is a computer term that represents video crips’ contents by online services, such e-mail, blogs, and some web pages. These videos include a variety of criteria like strange, unpredictable, funny events. This viral video is a service that has been attracting many companies. Thus, they are making an attempt to construct efficient business models in order to catch numerous customers and huge benefits by providing entertaining videos whenever their customers want to enjoy it.

In contrast to the view of online business, viral video introduces individual pleasures to society. Nowadays, mobile phones have been widely spread internationally, and many of them have camera function. Camera phone enables people to enjoy making, editing videos. These videos do not intend to advertise products or services, but intend to be viewed among friends or family.

This technology can bring innovative pleasure to people.

What Will Computers Be Like in the Future?

Since computers have been enhanced, they were remarkably affected our society in daily lives. In my opinion, information technology (IT) will be more useful to every person in any places in the world.

I think that computers will operate some roles based on humans’ voice. In the Back to the Future Part 2, Marty McFly Jr., the son of Marty McFly, spoke in front of TV to watch some TV programs simultaneously. After computers have recognized his order, TV programs appeared.

I heard there is a research that engineers have tried to make machinery understandable to human voices, and this technology is going to be available in various areas.
It will take a little more time for us to use this astounding system, but it is worth to wait until it has been practical.
