Lectuer 1

HEy, its freaking cold..I'm not a fan of the 8am lecture.. =__="

So anyway..First lecture.. I've seen the lecturer before.. in like orientation I think? for BArts.. he showed my group the similarities of 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Burton'.. to 'Forest Gump'.. same writer and the very similar storyline.. but the growing up old and dying young part.. unusual I'd say.. Anyways.. he kind of convinced me to do the course film and screen.. he said all we would do is watch movies from week to week.. he was right of course.. besides from the worksheets, essay and three hour exam.. no sweat.. it really was. Lol..

So..there I was sitting next to my group of friends.. him talking about how technology has gone so far in the past century and still advancing everyday.. he discussed what was old and new technology considered in our society..

New technology today are Computers, Mobile Phones [sms/mms].. O_O and Internet [email (slowing dying he describe.. couldn't spell dying*), Message Boards/Discussion List and Instant Messaging.

Also others included through the Internet such as Blogging, Twitter and Social Networking.. which of course.. who could live without? hello! Facebook, Myspace.. etc.

Old technology as he described such as Oral Communication, Graphic, Written [Mail], Radio (which my dad listens to still..] Telephone [Landline] and finally Television (surprisingly television is quite old but have not died out.. which is a good thing.. WE can't live out without the idiot box.. :P)

So many accomplishments in technology.. our Convergence per se.. yet we are already consumed in it.. although think a robot dog is just plain creepy.. then again it would die like most pets I've ever own.. actually none have died.. just ran away and lucky they did.. ^^"

So anyway.. We still have long ways to go.. learn about that is.. Hopefully this course gets more interesting.. I hope.. technology is the greatest! Although one question: "Which is smarter? Computer or Human?" Lol.. maybe ill find out at the end of this course.. LOL..
