Hello everyone,
To start off this post, I would like to make an apology to my dear lecturer, Ms Kwa for attending her lecture late this week.
Sitting at the bottom few rows in the lecture theatre isn’t so bad afterall. I mean, at least I wasn’t that distracted.
And I learnt that there’s no such thing as 1 minute late. When you are late, YOU ARE LATE.
Alright, enough of getting all emotional, lets do a recap of what I learnt during NCT this past week.
To start off, at lecture, we learnt about Wireless Technology.
I finally know the differences between all the different ‘G’s..
You know, 2G, 3G…and I found out that Apple iPhone will come in 4G the next time round.
Technology is moving fast…a little too fast!
And on Thursday’s class, Li Ting introduced us to a phone that we thought is the bestest thing in the world. It’s called the Pomegranate phone! (see above picture)
It’s cute isn’t it?
Go google it.
There’s an official website!
Oh, and if you stumble upon the Wiki page, you’ll be in for a huge surprise!
My best friend, Aqmar presented us with the topic on Globalisation.
Wow..who knew it actually started since the 1400?
Impressive stuff!
You know how something that’s good can have something bad as well?
Well, Globalisation is one of it.
It’s good in a sense that people are connected closer to each other.
But it’s bad because it can cause people to lose jobs!
After that presentation, Kevin who presented on Podcasting the previous week, presented again with Part 2 of the “How to Podcast” presentation. Very technical. But very useful. I think I’m gonna try doing my own podcasts. Will you want to listen to it??
Alright, then on Friday which was just yesterday, I found out about this awesome, AWESOME website.
go to www.wolframalpha.com
It can tell you almost anything and everything!
For example…my birthdate! (see above picture again) Ok..I have seriously NO IDEA how to upload photos on WordPress)
These are things that happened on my birthdate 19 years ago!
Cool huh??
Oh, and has anyone heard of Second Life?
it’s an online game where you literally have another life online.
I like the whole idea of having a totally different persona online!
And it’s not just any type of game.
You can actually earn real cash!
And there’s also other things you can do like ehem…have sex with people..
It’s kind of weird but oh well, some people just have certain needs.
Oh yes, and how did I learn all this? It was thanks to my classmates Jovis, Aileen, William and Shawn.
Thanks guys for enlightening me =)
I was actually supposed to present on my topic regarding YouTube but it had to be pushed back till the last NCT lesson 2 weeks from now.
I have big plans for it and I’m going to make sure that it’s going to be something memorable for me and my classmates.
So..till next time,
this is WallyKhunCyrus
buzzing off!
PS: This is actually my 4th post. I don’t know why my previous one got a page of its own when it wasn’t supposed to.
