What more would you like to learn?

On the occasion of the end of this semesters, I feel I could have improved my computer skill a little bit. I think I am still beginner but higher level of beginner because though I learned the basic skills, I realize I can't use them perfectly. Now, I began to have interest about making web pages. I was really shocked at the fact that web pages are created by many kinds of complicated commands, and I was also surprised and felt pleased at to know the fact that we can easily make original web pages because I thought only computer experts can make web pages before I know the fact.

By the way, I am a baseball fan, and I love Dragons very much. Now, I learned how to make a web page, so I can create my homepage of cheering Dragons. It is wonderful, isn't it?

Viral Video

Viral Video is a video clip content through the Internet. We can watch it by using many kinds of medias that can share websites. Since it works through the Internet, it can instantly be popular and widespread, so its influence is immeasurable. Also, some Viral Video might contain radical contents because of the character of Internet.
This is the example of Viral Video. It is interesting to me. Needless to say, he must be a kind of stupid, but very comical. NBC showed the interest to this Viral Video and broadcast the series of situation. For the outsiders, this event is doubly funny.

Computer gifts you would buy for friends & family

If I give my family computer gifts, I will choose i-pod for gift. First, since all my family members are unfamiliar with a computer, even if I give them something concerning with a computer, it will be useless. Next, since i-pod is so small, it takes less space. Talking about my brother, he likes music very much, but he hasn't had i-pod yet. He still uses portable MD player. To tell the truth, I can't find any computer gifts besides i-pod. Can I give Firewire for the gift? Of course, nobody feels happy except one teacher in my computer class. (He likes Firewire pretty much! ,especially its sound.) If I were a computer expert, I would have many kinds of choices for gifts, so I would choose very maniac types of computer parts for gifts. This might be just self-satisfaction.

What is "Net Neutrality?"

"Net Neutrality" is the way of thinking that to impose a rule to prohibit the hospitality of specific contents or service on network business company because if there were not such a rule, the freedom of users can greatly threaten. Some people are against the rule by saying that there is no evidence that cause some problems by the preference. Moreover, the rule prevents the innovation of network.
I couldn't' t find web pages about "Net Neutrality" that show its meaning or definition, so I didn't understand it well. From my understanding, "Net neutrality" is the rule to prevent the privacy or freedom of net users from the over interference of network business company by prohibiting the preference. In short, I think it is a rule to prevent network from monopoly by business company.

We can take place international E-Sports competitions comparatively easily because they are held through networks.

Introduce 3 good web sites

One of my good web sites is Wikipedia. When I want to examine something, it give me some information. It also has a risk because its information don't always right. However, I often use it because of its convenience.
Second good web site is CNN. I can know many kinds of news on a world scale. The trigger that I tried to see this web site was the word from my teacher in EAP class. He said that if you want to improve your English, try to see some articles that you like in English. Of course, the articles on this web site are so difficult for me that I often have difficulty to read and understand.
Another good web site is MLB. I like baseball very much. I can easily get information about the Major League, and I can also improve my English a little bit.

What Is "Social Engineering"?

Social Engineering is the act that search secret information to artificially release security. For instance, if you try to find secret information by searching rubbish, or try to get them by disguising your position, your acts are applicable to social engineering. Stealing or tapping are also applicable to social engineering.

Now, I have many pass words for a cell phone, a computer, a cash card, and so on. Some poster says that don't use a simple pass word like what is based on a birthday because it can be easily decoded. However, if I set a pass word complicated, it can be forgotten easily at least for me. Even if I note it, it accompanies the risk of social engineering. Thus, I have to compare a low risk that can sometimes happen with high risk that rarely happen. Probably, I will chose the former because it is more convenient than the latter.

What do you know about the Mac?

I don' t know about the Mac very well because I'm a beginner about computer and I haven't tried to know about computers. Moreover, I can't use the Windows sufficiently even though it is very famous and widespread in Japan. I only know that the Mac is easy to add applications and my computer teacher loves the Mac very much. For a beginner like I, the Mac is not recognized very much. By the way, I have a trivial question. Why the Mac is called the apple computer? I feel it sounds just delicious. If someone knows the origin of the name, please tell me.

What you want to learn about computers?

First, I want to learn basic skills of computers such as MS Word or MS Excel because I'm sure that I'm a beginner, and they might help me do my job better in near future. Next, I want to learn E-mail. Now, I can send a e-mail by using my caller phone, but I'm not familiar with that of computer. I haven't felt its usefulness yet. In fact, however, it spreads to the public, so I want to learn how much useful it is. At last, I would like to deal with stocks to make some money. In public, some successful people with stock trading seem to be wonderful, but I know some lost their money by trading. However, it remains attractive to me because I can instantly make money by online trading, and it also thrills me. In the future, after I learn it very deeply, I will surely try it. By the way, I hate Takafumi Horie very much because I hate his belief, which means I can buy everything If I had much money.
