What more would you like to learn?

Through this term, I learnd lots of computer materials not only terms but also how work, for exampke, power point, windows, and so on. However, there are still some things that I would like to learn about computer.
One of what I want to learn more is about excel, because I can make many materials like graph, table, etc. I wonder if I can study about excel in this class or not, but I will try to study bu myself.
I have one more thing that I want to study, and that is HTML. It is very interesting for me because if I understand HTML and its work, I can make my home page by myself that I had thought making home page was very difficult and complex.
Because I still want to learn about these two things, I want to study them after finishing this class.

Computer Terms: Viral Video

Before I looked up the term "viral video", it was fdifficult for me to image the meaning of this word. Then, what is viral video?

Viral video is the video clip that is spreaded on the Internet through email, blogs, and so on. Therefore, people can share the video and watch it easily.

One of the bid example of viral vido is "YouTube". It is also very popular in Japan even it is the English site, and we can watch some video in Japanese.

So, I want to share some my favorite video clips that I found in YouTube!

The first two videos are about an air guitar world champion, Dainoji who is a very funny guy wearing a big tigar printed sweater. The first one is the air guitar championship; the second one is the Japanese ipod CM starring Dainoji with a song of JET. Both are very funny, so please enjoy them!






The last one is a very cute pig! He is very smart and can do some tricks like dog. It is amazing and also interesting.

Computer gifts I would buy for friends & family

Although there are various kinds of items related to computer, I would like to buy ipod for my grand mother. She bought her laptop and has recently started to use it. She already enjoys her computer life; however, I want her to enjoy also listening to music and watching video by a potable player, an ipod! I think she will be able to enjoy her life with music since she likes to listen to music. Moreover, she also love to watch movie. In addition, my grand mother often goes out. Therefore, I want my grandmother to try to use the ipod and feel how it is wonderful to use it!
Now, I can put message on the ipod if I buy it in an apple store; thus, I also would like to print message for her on the ipod.

Computer Terms: What Is "Net Neutrality"?

Net neutrality is the term made in the European telecommunication law, and it referrers to that every access to the Internet is opened equally to all. In other words, we can use the Internet according to the favor. Therefore, there is no power in the market to competition against another. Moreover, Google and Yahoo are the companies created under this rule.
However, the net neutrality has been a major problem in the U.S. because the telecommunication companies started to make their quality of services high in order to compete. The companies use power to discriminate between traffic types or content provider.
Net neutrality is very important for us because we cannot use the Internet freely and enjoy without this principal. Thus, I hope that net neutrality would not be the ideal, but the actual rule.
