What More I Would Like to Learn

　It was when I was 9 that my father bought a PC. As I use it, I have got knowledge about computers. In addition, I take the lecture of computers at NIC, and I learned various functions of computers from Mr. Poza. Although I have done those things, I still have a lot of things I do not know.

　Among them, I would like to learn about Mac in particular. I learned the basic information of Mac from the lecture, but I would like to know more about it. I will buy a Mac computer next year for my overseas life, so I would like to learn how to use it. Although I know differences between Windows and Macintosh, I do not know the way of setup, even how to start. Now I realize that I should get practical knowledge. In addition, my father will not come with me to the U.S., so I want to use it perfectly. Therefore, I would like to learn about Mac computers.

　Another thing I would like to learn more is about HTML. I started to use it before the lecture, so I know how to write it a bit. Then I became able to use it basically. However, I would like to know it more deeply. For example, I am glad if I can master CSS. Then I want to be a HTML master!

Viral Video

　Actually, I do not know what VIRAL VIDEO is at all. So first, I tried to guess the meaning of this word. According to my dictionary, “viral” means to have something to don with a VIRUS. I become confused more because I could not imagine how videos relate to a virus. Does a video have certain virus that is bad for computers like an e-mail with computer virus? Finally, I gave up thinking about VIRAL VIDEO for myself.
　Then I tried to look into this term on the Internet. As a result, a VIRAL VIDEO seems to become known to people through the Internet by e-mail, blogs, or other media. Now I could realize why this word “viral” is used for videos; those video would spread like actual virus, so they are called VIRAL VIDEOs. Because people can watch video clip easily, a lot of videos are shared through the Internet. In fact, there are many websites that enable people to share those videos. For example, you can watch various viral videos if you go there; http://www.ifilm.com/channel/viralvideo If you are confused because of too may videos, and you want to watch popular one, you can find by going here; http://viralvideochart.com/
　In addition, some firm started to take advantage of viral videos. Unilever, which is a major company, created a viral video for advertisement and uploaded it onto the You Tube. It seems to have been televised so many times successfully. The means of advertising may be changed dramatically in the future.
　Anyway, VIRAL VIDEO is the term that is used for well-known video clips shared on the Internet.

What Will Computers be Like in the Future?

We can dream of computers’ future as I hope. Just dreaming would not be limited. The topic of this week is “What Will Computers be Like in the Future?” Therefore, I will talk about the future of computers with my hope.

First of all, it is a reasonable possibility; computers, especially laptop computers, will be smaller and thinner. Because I have seen a lot of things become smaller and thinner as an improvement, I can predict this situation easily. If computers become smaller and thinner, it will be easy to carry them anywhere we like. However, in my opinion, desktop computers do not need to be smaller because they are not required to be portable. They should be powerful rather than be smaller. Anyway computers may be smaller and thinner in the future.

Another possibility I hope is that computers will be wireless. Of course, I do not know how to achieve it, but I want them to be wireless. There is a desktop computer in my house, and it uses a lot of cords to work satisfactorily. I usually use the desktop computer itself, a printer, a MO, a tablet, and a scanner together, so I automatically need a large number of cords. It sometimes annoys me by taking a lot of outlets. Therefore, I hope computers will be wireless in the future.

In addition, computers will be able to work without emitting heat. I know there is no ginger that they emit heat, but I am in trouble especially in summer because of their heat; I sweat from every pore, and I have to take a bath soon after using computers. Thus, we need to make computers work without producing heat. I believe that it might come true in the future.
