My digital life

I am a computer addict, not that I would go crazy without a computer and network, I can live without it for a few days, but I would use the computer everyday for at least 3 hours if I got it with me.

2 of my 'must visit' websites everyday:
http://www.facebook.com/
http://www.plurk.com/

Both sites are social networks which allows me to check the updates of my friends and interact with them through the online platform. Whenever I got access to the internet, the first thing I would do is visiting the two sites. Total addict.

There is one experience I would like to share about social networks: me and my friends are staying in one room, each have a computer with them. Even though we are having verbal communication, there were other conversations happening on the web. Occasionally, somebody would laugh out, 'hey, what are you talking about' in the middle of a conversation.



Seeing how our generation, or even the generation before us, become so used to the internet and become part of our lives, it is interesting to learn how to use different media tools and the different writings in the new media age.



This is actually what I am like when I am using the computer~~

Week 7 Digital Video



Creating the video is not too difficult, but to balance the sound of the background music and the voice of the narration needs more time and effort than imagine~~

As the Windows Movie Maker and Photo Story is a beginner stuff for Movie Making, they are easy to manage but effects are limited. If I have to create digital movie again, I would try something bigger like the Adobe Premier Professional~
