The next 5,000 days of the web

The video I watch was called "the next 5,000 days of the web" by Kevin Kelly. This short video clip made a lot really good facts about where the web was to compare to where it may go. This video was made in 2007, so from then to now I have notice some of things he was talking about to take place like the needs for the web to be on cell phones. I remember just a few years ago the web on a cell phone was limited to just the phone's home page to get ring tones, wallpaper, and themes. Now you can get Netflixs on your cell phone so that just shows the needs for other media interacting with one another. I like what lesson 1 says, "Have to get better in believing the impossible." I think once we start to do this it will help everyone be more aware of what the next years to come may be like. Another thing that really got to me about what Kevin said with his math about "the machine." It was something when he talked about in the next 30 years how the example of one machine=1HB(human brain) will be 6 billion HB. I found that amazing. Overall good short video to watch with lots of facts.

My cloud

In my thought about the technology or or in other words my cloud is that I have notice a lot of different things from making movies to networks like facebook. I have always like making music beats off the computer, and in the last 5 years I have notice more programs coming out making it easy, quicker, and more beats then they had years before. Movies are another thing I love to do whether it is to make them or watch them. Movies have been turning more into 3D and using more 3G to make their movies to give it that imaging feel to it. Now I got some mix thoughts on movies using more 3G, I feel that it kind of takes away from the actors/actresses ability to act. The reason why I feel this is because with 3G you just stand in front of a big green screen. I have had my cell phone for some time know, and that's how everyone gets in touch with me. I think it is amazing that in just five years the way cell phones look and what you can do with them now is just mind blowing. About a couple months ago I have heard about Netflix is now on some cell phones. Years ago you would never think they could do that with a cell phone. I believe in the years to come the imaging idea of what technology could do is endless, but as long as people use it for good then it could be a great outcome. There are some things like I've talked about with the movie part, that needs to be look at maybe I'm an old fashion guy but I like seeing acting in my movies.

multimedia apps & tools

Taking a tech course online does not really make me nervous as much as if I do all my work and the computer crashes on me and I wouldn't be able to make it up. That's really my only anxieties I have for this class or any online classes. I'm taking 4 online classes this fall and I just hope this does not happen. I have taken online classes before, I just got done over the summer, which was intro to flash. My first online class was not good at all, the teacher didn't want to help the students at all and thought the students should know everything and didn't respond to the students at all. And if it wasn't for a former student that took that class, well I would have to take it over. So my first online class was not good at all, and to tell you the truth I didn't want to take another one because of that teacher, until my intro to flash which was a lot better so here I go for round 3 and hope it turns out good. I normal don't blog much at all, but I do use face book to chat to my friends and post my YouTube stuff. My goals for the class are very simple: past the class, give it my all, learn more about blogging, and multimedia apps and tools.
