Blog- 8 ( MOMI)

the trip to the museum was great... there were some stuffs which are really cool... such as Voice Recording room that you can record your own voice to the movie clips that they have.That was really cool,funny and all of my classmates liked it.The other one i liked was making the short video clips by using the camera they have there and review it. It was really funny and all of us spent around 30 minutes there to do our own movie clips. i would definitely go back there just to record my voice over the movie clips and to make the short video clips...

Blog-7 ( Reflection)

well....the first time i was in class i thought it was going to be boring.But in the second week of the class, i felt like was into what we are doing in class.it's a cool thing to do almost everything on web such as blogs, researches,assignments and homeworks.it's saving your time a lot especially on homework because you can finish your home work on the due date and post it before the time it is due compare to manual way of doing homework by writing on the paper and hand it to the professor in the class time of the due date.

Blog- 5 , semester plan

well, i'm a guy who work 25 to 30 hours a week and going to school full time. i come to school Monday through Thrusday and work . So, it's hard for me to finish the homeworks on time and i always late for the homework and also the class in the morning because i work at night.when i register for this course, i was looking for the classes which start at 11:30 and after because i don't want to be late for the class.But there were no classes avaliable to register at that time . so, i chose this course . i love this course though expect the time the classes starts. i will try my best to be in the class on time and get the homework done by the due dates for the rest of the semseter.

Blog-4 Truman Symdrome

The meaning of the truman sydrome means being trapped on the reality TV shows without knowing that they are on TV and pople can see every thing what a peson do everyday through the cameras(www.wisegeek.com).It is realy crazy to let people see whatever we do everyday and it's also our human right which we can keep our own privacy.i will feel really bad to be on TV like that. i believe most of the reality TV shows today are following the script instead of being reality. i think they write the script to make people interesting which is not real. i got the informations through the researches on the internet and the book " the matrix and the philosophy".i do take the informations from the internet but i don't think they are 100% trustworthy because all those sites are made of different kind of people with different opinion.so, you will get different information for whatever you are looking for.For example," wikipedia.org " which is the largest site for the students who are looking for the information is not trustworthy too because anyone can change any information at anytime.whenever i do the research i look it up on the Wiki but i still look for the information on the other sites and i try to match the information from both of the sites.Even that it won't be 100% trustworthy.

Quiz

i would choose the red pill because i believe in science. i think the world with machines is going to be an interesting place to live in.we can exploer the new world of science. i'm sure it's going to be totally different world from our so called technology world today. there is going to be the bad thing if we can't control the machines' abalities as we do today.we can make any machine to be our best but we need to know how to shut them down if anything happen.

Blog -6,Matrix

Matrix……..

Well, I think sexuality and the gender is not that important in the matrix because you will see the lady named Trinity who’s a member of Morpheus’ group. She has the ability of what the other member could do expect the chosen one, Neo. All they do is simply install the programs right away for whatever they need. Also the race is not important. it can’t make you any better whatever race you are . I know there are still some redneck people who races the other people but it’s doesn’t have any profit of being white. Let’s say there is a race between a 90years old white man and 20 years old black man. Who do you is going to win?? Of course black man wins because god didn’t give any special ability to those white people. We all are the same. Well, Neo is white in the Matrix but his character doesn’t necessarily need to be white. He could be Black, Asian, Spanish or anyone in the world. I would live in the matrix because you could be anyone and see things differently than the way we see things now. Even today, almost all of us are cybrog because we are addicted to our daily stuff and most of them are related to machine directly or indirectly. Let’s say you have the relationship with the machine even before you wake up every day. The alarm which is a machine that wakes you up every day and before you go to school, you have to check the weather on the computers or cell phones or TV and all of them are machine. You have to take a bus or a train which are all made of machine to go to school or work. When you get to school, professors teach you with computers and projectors in almost every class. You go back home by taking the bus or train and after that you watch the TV or game for fun. After that you do homework or do research on the computer and you set the alarm before you go to sleep. You can see we are totally relying on the machine these days. Humans and machines are not the same though because machines are weaker in some point and humans are weaker in the others. Humans are the only kind of animal that can make machines and that’s why we are above other animals. But Machines are faster and do almost non mistakes because they were programmed since they were built. Humans are the builders of machines but we can do mistakes because we were not programmed by anyone. I don’t think we are not living in the matrix now but may be in next 50 years. At that time, we may be able to program humans also as I believe. I don’t really have any idea of what the characters’ names and nicknames mean but one thing I think that they are not the same have the names we have today. Those names are may be the names of the machines.

Blog- 3, Essay 2( Truman show)

Truman is a guy who has nothing to fear because his life has been set up even before he was born just like us. But we have no one who knows what is going to happen in our lives and Truman does because we live in the different worlds. The place we live in is full with tricks, dishonesty and you never know what’s coming after. In the world of Truman, he also lives in a place of dishonesty and tricks but it’s actually happen just to him. Everyone in that place knows what they are doing expect Truman. He couldn’t see their dishonesty too early because he has been living with this since he was born.

Truman’s life is actually different from the reality TV shows like The Bachelor and Survivor because the live broadcasting of Truman’s life is on air for 24/7 and the Reality TV shows are more like a set up. They just call it reality and they are shooting the videos with the script.
Even Chris stof said Truman can leave the seahaen anytime, he actually doesn't want Truman to leave. He still wanna control Truman's life as God. The way Chris treat Truman is similiar to go cotrol the god, i would say. Because he control Truman's life, and he can even control the weather such as making a strom, rising the sun at the day time.i think Chris should set Truman free because he made lots of money out of Truman show for over 20 years already. i think Truman should deserve to feel the the real world. If i'm in Truman's place i won't ever live in the place like seahaven because i love freedom and freedom is what everyone wants.i would live in the real world for 10 years instead of living in the seahaven for 20 years.i think Truman would expect to see the world with people who are not faking what they are doing and nobody watching him which is of course the freedom.

Blog-2 Alllegory of the cave

Socrates said you can’t know the reality if you are placed to be in somewhere that you can’t even see the sun light since your childhood. The shadow on the wall is just the reflection of the reality. Echo sound is not the reality. It’s just the reflection of the real sound. He said you won’t know what the reality is if you are blinded in the prison since you were young.The same way in the real world, if you are blinded by somthing like the community,culture,regilion and so on since you were young,you won't be able to see and feel anything out of the box.But if you are freed from the box or prison, you can see the reality of the world just like prisoers can see the sunlight.

Blog -1 : “ I’m a Cyborg”

The definition of the word “Cyborg” is the bionic human as they use in 1960s. But in these days, we can also use it as the people who are relying on the electronic devices for their daily life processes. Almost everyone in the 21st century are Cyborg because we all are relying on the electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers, internet, cars, TVs, radios, video games, trains, credit cards, metro cards, Mp3 players and so on. As for myself, I also am a Cyborg because I’m a human of the 21st century. I have to use electronic devices since I wake up in the morning. Since I wake up in the morning, I have to use computer or TV to check the weather of the day outside, and prepare to go to school or work. Since when I step outside of the house, I have to get the train or bus to go to the school. When I get to the school, all the classes are teaching with the projectors and if we have something to write we use computers to write and send them to the professors through the email or blogs. We use computers all the time in school to write anything expect the examination time because we will be able to cheat if we use computers in the exam. We have to use computers even to register for the school and classes. After we are leaving from school, we still can check our e-mails or anything we want through our mobile phones on the way home from anywhere expect in the train stations under the ground. And when we get home, we watch TVs or play video games for entertainment. After that, we can do home works on the computers and send them to the professors through internet. We can use internet to get information not only for school work or home work but also the information about anything in the universe. After homework, we can keep up with our friends on the internet through face book or other social websites. That’s how we spend a day in the 21st centuary.
I’m working in a restaurant as a waiter. In the place I work, the way we work is more electronically if you compare to most of the restaurants. We use PDA s to take the orders instead of using pen and paper. We use PDAs to take the orders and send them through the wireless network to the printer in the kitchen. And when we drop the checks , we print them out from the printer. It’s totally 100% electronic that we are doing there. Our lives are going to be in trouble if we don’t have any more electronic devices because we are so much in it and we don’t know how to do things without electronic devices.
