My Recommendation!!

On the internet there are a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot web sites!!
There are also a lot of kinds of web sites, so people can search and find their favorite web sites.
Therefore, today I introduce 3 web sites which I like.

A singer: Naoya Okuzono He is a street musician and sings his songs in Yokohama or some live houses with playing the guitar. One of his charactaristics is higher voice than other men's. I think and hope he can debut as a major singer in the future.

Horoscope: Do you believe horoscope? In Japan, some TV programs in the morning tell to audience horoscope everyday. I recommend that you believe it when only your horoscope results in good. You can see your horoscope everyday. How is yours today??

Do you know him??: He is my teacher of the computer class, Luis Poza!! He has a lot of knowledge, so I am enjoying his class. If you see his web sites, you must want to see him!!

My Moble Phones

In Japan, there are three major companies of mobile phones, such as au, docomo, and vodafone.
These canpanies are rivals for each other, so they strive to make mobile phones which are better quality, more multipurpose, and more reasonable charge.
I do not know which is the best company for me, so I use an au's mobile phone.
When I contracted with au, au was only the company which has academic discount charge, so the au's charge was the chapest for students.
The above picture is same one with mine.
Unfortunately, this does not have TV, radio, and infrared transmission.
In stead of TV, I can watch some programs like TV's if I pay money every month.
Moreover, I can listen music with my mobile phone. It is like a CD player!
Recently, people can buy entire songs, so people do not have to buy CDs if the songs are bought on the internet.
The quality is worse than CD compo, but people can just listen enough.

Although people was surprised that only the displays became color, people have expected that mobile phones are more progressed recently.

Stealing!!

A computer can memorize a lot of information on a very small chip.
The size surprise people!
Moreover, people can erase and rewrite the information, so the computer is very useful to manage a lot of date.
However, the computer has the biggest dangerous problem!!
It is easy to steal the date for people who know a computer well.
They do not need bags, carts, and of course power to carry the date.
To protect it, people use passwards in the computer.
However, that is not complete to avoid stealing it.
Some of people can go into others' computers from own computer without going to the place being the computer which has the date.
If personal date is stolen from a computer, the damage is not only the person who own the computer, but also the people who listed on the date get the damage.
I think it is worst dangerous about a computer!!

FLAMED...

There is a problem on a blog on February 13th in Japan.
The blog was written by a manager of the Ministry of administration and industry.
First, she wanted to tell her opinion through the blog personally, and the readers seemed to like her blog.
However, when she wrote about a law of electric fittings and ask the readers to agree it, the situation was turned.
Some of the readers did not understand it. In addition to that, some of them wrote slanderous messages against her.
The total of the messages was over 1600, so she could not get out of hand.
As a result, she had to close her blog.
Moreover, it was a problem to write during her job.

People can write and read their own opinions or thoughts on blogs, and people can get a lot of information through blogs.
I think it is very useful to know others' thinking and to communicate with strangers.
In this problem, she had to consider about her position and her topic, though, it is good to tell her opinions.

Future...

Human beings do not know stopping development for everything.
Things which people imaged in their minds have invented in the real world.
I want to notice ROBOTS!! They have been surprising for me.
Robots which often appear on the TV are like REAL human beings; they have hands, legs, a head, and some of them have feeling, too.
They can also dance, communication, and so on.
Have you ever seen the movie "Bicentennial Man "?
In this movie a robot insists that human beings should give the appropriate robots' rights.
Such as problem may appear in the future if robots have continued to progress.

As you see, the picture is "DORAEMON" which is the middle of the picture and which is a Japanese animation character written by Fujiko F. Fujio.
In the story, Doraemon came to present from 2050 in future.
He is a breaking cat form robot, but he has a fourth-dimensional pocket, in which there are a lot of useful tools, such as a door which lead people to any where they want to called "Dokodemo Door"
Therefore, he can help a boy who Doraemon lives with.
I think a lot of Japanese children answer "Doraemon!!" when they are asked "What do you want?"

GIFT!!

If I give a gift to my brother, I choose a DIGITAL CAMERA for him, because his digital camera is a very old type.
Therefore, it is Bigger, Thicker, and heavier than new types.
Recently digital cameras have been developed.
They have been become smaller, thiner, and lighter, and also their management speed of date has been Faster.
Therefore, we can push the shutter release like double-clicking the computer's mouse, and we will not miss the best shot.

Recently film cameras have disappeared becasuse of the developing digital camera.
Nicon which is one of the biggest cameda campanies seemed to stop making film camera.
I do not know which is better to take pictures film cameras or digital cameras.
However, I feel sadness to disappear film cameras because I like the sound of shutter.

☆ANIMATION☆

Have you ever seen this movie? It is "Chicken Little" which was made by Disney.

In fact, I have not seen it yet, so I cannot say any comments about it...SORRY.

If you see it, please tell me your comments.

However I watched a TV program about the documentary of making the movie.

According to the program, "Chicken Littele" was made on the computers.

Therefore, the main character's feathers are discrived very real.

Before most animations were hand made; people drew pictures on sheets.

Because of using computers, the skill of animations has been developed.

I think that poeple can expect, should notice the future of animations' progressing!!

Let's Enjoy Internet Communication!!

I started using a computer and the Internet when I was 13 years old.
I did not know well about personal computers at that time, so all functions of computers suprised me.
First, I was into a communicatoion site, which was called "magnet"and was made for children.
Although I talked a lot of people on a chat, BBS, and so on, I made one good friend through the site.
She is live in Nagano prefecture and studys to become a hair-stylist.
She and I sometimes write letters each other.
It is one of amazing things for me to be able to become friends with a person who I did not know at all.

Recentlly, I am into another comunication site, which is called "mixi".
A lot of NIC students join to the site.
In the site, people can write their own diaries, read others' diaries, join to some groups which are like clubs on the Internet, and write review about any things which people like.

People can connect others without going outside, so some sirious problems have appearred recentlly, such as to be always inside and to not be able to communicate others by face to face.
However, the Internet is very very useful for me!!

The Machinist

Do you know "The Machinist"?
This is a movie title. Have you seen it?
This story is about a man who cannot sleep for one year.
Actually, it is impossible to keep awaking for such a long time.
According to a article, the official best record which a person had not slept is for about ELEVEN days!!
The person was a 17 years old boy at that time.
During his awaking, he had gotten some effects, such as irritation or lack of thought, as time went on.
We NIC students have to study a lot, so most people may not be able to sleep well.
However, it is important to sleep to live and to study efficiently.
Let's SLEEP well !!

My First Post!!

Jan. 18th, 2006 is my first post day!!

I am not good at keeping diary, so I have not done it for a long time yet.
Therefore, I HOPE to continue writing this blog as possible as I can.

Today I had a speech in a speaking class. My friend and I had to tell the story of Cinderella with only our voice; We could not use body languages and facial expression. We had to play more than two people, so it was difficult to change our voice to show each role. However, we could enjoy this speech.

Through this speech, I thought that nonverbal comunication was important to tell my emotions. It is difficult to make people understand emotions completely with only voice.
