What More Would I Like To Learn

About a few months before, I had less and less knowledge about computers than what I am now.
I knew little about the usage of Power Point properly.
I hardly knew how to make my blog on the Internet.
I did not know how to make a website at all.
However, I know every these things now, and this is amazing for me who is very poor at dealing with computers.


Now, what more would I like to learn about computers? There are three things.
The first thing is how to secure my computer more. Although Mac with no computer viruses would be safer than Windows, I want to think of using Windows in safer way because a lot of people in the world are using it. As a matter of fact, I have a software called Macafee that prevents my computer from viruses, and it sometimes tells me that my computer is in danger! I do not know what I should do.

The second thing is how to use the keyboard better. although I know basically how to type and use function keys. However, there are some keys that I do not know. I sometimes hit them by mistake and the work I am doing goes wrong!! If I can master the use of the keyboard, I might be able to do my work more smoothly.

The third thing I would like to learn is how to take in various kinds of images and pictures and secure them in my picture folder.

More I learn about computers, more computers becomes familiar for me!! I would like to have fun with my computer, being careful of being computer addiction!

Computer Terms: Viral Video

Viral videos are video clips presented by e-mails, individual blogs, or websites on the Internet.
There are many kinds of content, and these are different from the purpose to make them.
Their characteristics range from funny video clips made up of a lot of jokes to make viewers laugh to serious ones that is to let viewers think about a certain issue.
However, most viral videos are to advertise the company's product or other information.
The very different point of these viral videos from normal TV commercial is that viewers can choose whether they watch them or not, by clicking the button to start showing them.
In addition, viewers usually can vote each clips as favorite ones, and the website shows the ranking which viral video is more popular than others.
Moreover, many viral videos show how many people had watched them below the video screen.
As the Internet becomes more and more important as a commercial strategies, more companies begin to rely on viral videos to inform their company.

What Will Computers Be Like in the Future??

In 2070, in the history class, in a elementary school in Japan, there are twenty students and a teacher in the class. The students are listening to the teacher eagerly. However, some points are different from what the former class room had used to be. There are no black board. There are no notebooks and textbooks on the student's desks. In addition, the students are not looking at the teacher. They are looking at the screens that are in front of them each. The screens have no hardware; in other words, they are skeleton and floating above their desks. Even in the elementary school, computers are essential for education. Most assignments are handed in by computer typing. In addition, computer system will be connected as one and more and more children are able to see other world's news in real timing. Nothing could be done without computer in the future.
