anything universal not my thing!

did you guys see that? what is this world turning into? that is the question that I as when I see Google checkout and pay with pay pal only web sites....boring! I say. I don't think we want to play around with our privacy like that. na not with stuff like face book. Technology point of view you might say that it's okay, but it's not ethically okay. I know that we some people can't wait for this to happen, but come to think of it, if anything goes wrong with Facebook tomorrow, think of how many personal information you have at stake.

I know it's the era of connecting and synchronizing of the worlds information, but I think it might be catastrophic when something bad happens to the machines we are counting on. something like failure or a major hack. you know some called identity theft that no one knows how to stop,or a country deciding to shut down servers. yea, it's easy reroute traffic from let say Google to Facebook, that simple and in minutes face book goes down.

I think it's a good idea, but another thing I don't like about this is that what ever you do on the other websites face book will keep track of even if you want or don't want them to. It's like that thing with live.com cash back, the program that will give you cash back when you buy thing you search for on live.com.

I will like to know what you think about this issue, maybe I might change my mind....maybe

The group thing, not my thing

Unlike any other project that I have ever done alone, group project is one of the toughest tasks to accomplish. Hard as it might not sound opposite is it. You have a lot of members that will live everything to the last minutes. There are some that will not even lift a finger. But in my case, I’ve tried all my best to get my team mates to work with me, but I hope I’ll get everything done before the end of this semester.

Writing a manual is not an easy task. Writing anything is not easy as you have to keep in mind that someone will have to judge your writing. Creating this manual about a drive-in theater in Second Life was a great idea until I was left to do the major work. Having to register for second life and also have plan out the whole thing was a bit hard. Although I will have to credit my team for the support they gave each class, the load was quite heavy on me.

Then to the wiki, did I mansion that all this is new to me, yea it’s pretty new. The wiki is still under development but I am planning to get everything that is needed for us to get a very good grade. I will post the URL when it’s done.

I hoping that someday someone out there will really appreciate the composition of “how to” we have put together for anyone that might be thinking of creating a drive-in theater in Second Life.
To all my group members, either from the English class or from other classes that we have the privilege of working together I say a BIG THANK YOU.

Without you I would not have had the experience I have now. I know it might seem a bit hard when you are doing most of the work, but it’s just part of life and I now think it’s cool. Because I get to know how to do my part and others parts.

now that I can boast of my contribution towards technical communication by writing a manual, a wiki and also this blog, I'll say a big thank you to my Professor Dr. Reneta D. Lansiquot. It's a privilege to have to take your class.

HELp me redesIGN THE WEB?!

This article called Help me redesign the Web was writing by Roger Black on Technology Review.com. The Arthur talks about how the whole web as changed and how people are coming to get used and adopts the new innovations that are brought up as the need for print quality designs change. Although the forefathers of the internet thought that they are creating something that will be used for defense and research purposes only, but na na. By introducing it to the general public it’s now bigger than what they might have imagined and with this new technologies and improved designs people are now getting to use and integrate the useful information they get off internet into their day to day life.

This is no news to me as I have seen also seen new trends in how information is displayed on various web pages. No it’s possible to have you whole website on a single page using all sorts of products such as flash. Even old companies are investing in the new medium the internet has become. Microsoft cooperation came out with their type of flash called the Microsoft Silverlight technology. Which they claim is better than the standard flash.

In the world of emerging solutions to how information is represented, I think we will continue to see a significant change in the way we design everything that has to do with the internet. Notebook Computers, now we have net books, very low end low capacity note book that will get consumers so to say to the internet. And as everything is going, from e ticketing to watching your favorite television shows online, new technologies are bound to emerge.
