What More Would You Like To Learn

Until now I studied many thing about computer. This class is about basic concepts about computers and basic skills of using a computer. More over, as I mentioned before, I began to use computer when I was eight years old; thus I am really interested in computer. Therefore, I want to learn more about advanced skill. For instance, the skills to edit the music or movie and things like that. I want to use the edited music during my show time and sell the movie as a promotion video. Of course, I can entrust to do these things with some professional, but if I can do only myself, it will be a good cost reduction. I also want to learn about touch-typing. I am not good at touch-type, so I sometimes feel annoy when I write essay. Also in the TOEFL test, there is a writing part, so the skill of touch-typing is really important. I wan to improve my skill more.

What Will Computers Be Like in the Future?

Now a days the technology of computer becomes higher and higher. Then it becomes faster and lighter, so there are really small laptop computers. That is to say it is certain that the computers will become faster, lighter and smaller in the future. However becoming smaller is not only benefits. For old people, small machine is difficult to use, so may be there will be a limit to become smaller. After the new computers will reach to the limit, may be they will become lighter and faster. I do not know it is possible or not but it is my hope; in the future, there will be the computers that are without keyboards and mice. We will send the command using only our brain.

Introduce 3 Good Web Sites (in English)


Today I am going to introduce about three good web sites that are written by English. First, I chose “Wikipedia”. This web site is like an encyclopedia. When I need to search something, I always use this web site, because it contains too much information. Of cause I can also use encyclopedia, but Wikipedia does not take much time to search the information that I need than using encyclopedia. The reason why Wikipedia is a web page, so there is search area. It is very useful. Second, I want to introduce “Amazon”. It is an Internet bookstore. Amazon sells not only books but it also sells CD, DVD, Computer soft wear, Food and so on. It can sell too much goods. Also it has search area, so it is easy for us to look for something what we need. Third, I suppose that “Cooks.com” is a good web site. With using a search area, we can read the recipe. In short, all these three good web sites have search area. It is a benefit of web site. It is different from book.

My History with Computers

The computer was always with me. My father is an architect, so using the computer was very important for him. When I was very young, my father used MS, DOS 5.0. At that time I watched the beautiful dos’s lines such as shiny yellow lines or red lines, but I could not understand what was like. When I was eight years old, my parents presented me PC. That was Windows 95. Then I understood how to use Microsoft Word and paint and so on. What’s more, I did the summer holiday’s assignments with using a computer, because I thought that that was the good way. However it took so longer time to finish than do it hand writing. At the same time, my father began to use “Nifty Serve” and I understood how the world wide wed was like. Therefore, I could know the PC in the early times of computer history, so I think I was very lucky. Nowadays, in spite of my early studying, I cannot type fast.
