Meanwhile

     So far, doing the web page for the midterm has been a long process to finish. I have put pictures and fixing the exercises because those seem harder to fix. I still feel a little behind on knowing to fix the pages to the right height and width. I feel like I have made progress as I learned making animation GIFs, connecting a page to another and connecting to my home page like the exercises connecting with the midterm page and other links like the blogs.
     With Dreamweaver I am getting better at making pages but Im focusing more on knowing the codes. The page does look as I want it, but when I put it to MAC, theres too much space on the page, making my midterm page bad. I guess I need to experiment more with my pages to get better.

When gadgets Expire

     If technology was lost, people would go crazy. Why? We are too dependent on it for school, work, social networking and entertainment. Pretty much your whole life. Back then there weren't computers in school. We depended on books and writing which I thought was kind of simple. I prefer to write instead of typing some assignment which im forced to do for a class when inks for printers get expensive. Think about it. No internet, there won't be advertisements. I wouldn't be making a blog as we speak. I would not have Web class because internet connection is gone or computers don't work. If there were no videos or gadgets that use electricity we would find our lives boring and have to start over the stone age. The way the Amish or people who don't rely on techs don't have a problem in the ways of life. Maybe they live normal and good lives by doing outside hobbies all the time. However, I still want to watch movies, hear music and live with entertainment. Plus technology is needed for hospitals, lights on the streets and transportation. It will be tough to get used a world where we live with new habits if technology was ever lost.

What's New

          What is new? To me is something that was not seen, tried, eaten or used before. Something we are not familiar yet but we want to know about it. In society new is considered as something improved, upgraded, and yeah I believe that. People want to use the new thing to stay current. But things that are being made are not improved that much. When movies were made as far as I know people bought videotapes or VHS tapes. Then DVDs have come and we buy cause of deleted scenes and more features and the quality of the screen. Now there are Blue Rays and I really don't care much what new features it has. The movie is still the same the way I saw the movie the first time.New brands of shoes will come. Foods will be sold with newer flavors or just in a different bags like Cheetos or different colored cereal boxes and is "new and improved" Programs like Microsoft office or Adobe will keep improving.
           So, what? We have to keep buying same programs just because of newer features? We are pressured, however, to stay current with what goes in the world. OR at least to try something new cause it brings interest. If people who were math majors or art majors or in a profession in the past had their degrees they still have to go to school again to learn current lessons.
          To be honest I don't have a point to this whole speech but things are improving little by little. If I just bought an ITouch I wouldn't think of buying another type a month later because the ITouch is new and improved by the design. Maybe for another year or two unless things have really changed in an Itouch.

Technology

IPods, IPhones, IPads I give up. Technology is all nonstop. In my point of view there would be changes in technology in the future. Whether if one day cars would be able to fly or when people just need a pill to get all the nutrients for a day or adjustable clothing that would fit anybody's size without buying another one because of the wrong size (like Back to the Future 2). I could see why people would be scared that technology is advancing so much to what extent it would reach. People I knew were used to simple gadgets like record players and cassettes as others would watch black and white television and to be turning the knob to change a channel. Now they just need a little device with a bunch of songs and other features. Now there is a flat screen television with enhanced colors that does not take the whole space of a room. I could see why people would be nervous, because everything they were used to is now changing and the older generation would have to remember their time in memory. Eventually I would feel the same when I am older and the moments I used to live are now changing. Who knows what the future holds and about the issues about robots, because I keep an open mind of what could happen

About Music

     Music is one of the things that is important in life. In my opinion, people would be bored of life if there were no musics to which people can sing about, dance, or express. People get motivated by the rhythms they hear, the sounds or the voice of the singer. They can be slow type of songs that makes a person relax or quick songs where people would be break dancing or doing something they won't remember if they were drunk. Some just want to hear the bass of a song and hear it high volume while others like to hear lyrics from artists and feel the messages they can relate to.

     Music is filled with all kinds of styles, speeds, sounds and messages. I like hearing all kinds of music from different styles, even if they were old songs from 10 or 40 years back. If it sounds good to me I would listen to it. I plan to explain more about this topic for my midterm.
