    DS106 Assigment “Video”

    by
    These are the commercials of Japan Air Self Defense Force. The first ad is pretty cute, as a girl wondering “????????” (Are there dolphins in the sky?) Then the “Blue Impulses” (sounds like Blue Angle?) come out afterwards…   The second commercial is interesting as well, when it is 100% animation. Although the commercials are amusing ...

    The INTERNET. (My first blog)

    by
    The INTERNET. (My first blog)

    The internet is definitely a revolutionary, technological invention created by the human race. Almost everything in our world today that we are familiar with revolves around some use of the internet. The internet has enabled us to do many things that was not possible back in the days when people used to write hand-written letters to each other (although this still exists today). The internet provides unlimited entertainment for everybody that has access to it. I have been exposed to the internet for as long as I can remember. I believe that my experience with the internet first started with online games, since I was still very young. As I grew older, I gradually discovered many more uses for the internet, and a great way of communication. I must say that Facebook is definitely one of my very frequently used tool on the internet since it enables me to communicate with people as well as retrieve news from just a single, and instant click of the mouse. I would describe the internet as, 'epic' since it is a highly global technological device that connects the entire world together, as well as it is your window to the outside world without even having to step outside your own house. I use the internet on a daily basis for many different reasons. These reasons include, homework assignments (such as this one), communicating with people, viewing the news, and other random reasons which relieve me from boredom. So, Tokyo is one of the most leading countries in terms of technological development. Tokyo definitely has been heavily influenced by the use of the internet and other technologies related to it. I would say that the internet pretty much lies at the heart of Tokyo since it definitely connects everything that is present in this highly dense and enormous city. Tokyo without internet, would be almost unimaginable, since the internet is one of the reasons why Tokyo has been able to develop so much. I love Tokyo, as much as I love the INTERNET. I think that pretty much concludes my first blog post!

    Neo Tokyo

    This is my first DS 106 assignment. I chose it so I could  play with the image editor, Gimp. It was a good experience. It can do just about everything Photoshop can. I took an image of the city from the film Akira and adjusted the contrast and saturation to get the warm effect for ...

    Alan Turing: The Father of Modern Computer Science

    by
    Alan Turing was absolutely one of the most brilliant scientists of the 20th century. Born in London in 1912, Turing showed early signs of genius. His aptitude in mathematics and science were at odds with the British education systems focus on classical literature and his teachers insisted that he wouldn’t amount to anything. He could ...

    My internets

    by
    I’ve spent quite a few years on the net passively absorbing news articles, youtube videos and meme photos. I wouldn’t characterize myself as a person who was very knowledgeable about  computers or programming. But I kind of feel that I should be, especially given how much time I spent on the internet. I had a ...

    What the internet is to me.
