Journal Entry #3

     Anyone who knows me well knows that a lot of my free time is used for gaming. I tend to play many games, usually shooter, puzzle, and RPG games. Depending on the game, like The Walking Dead ( by Telltale), I tend to get emotionally attached to characters. I spend a lot of time talking about games with friends, and helping them if I've beaten the game (which you all just lost).

     I wouldn't consider myself as a pro gamer, because I don't do much online gaming. Online gaming usually doesn't end up well, because the online chat(s) tend to get a little heated. Whenever I do play online, however, players tend to like me because I almost always take on the defensive role, either being a sniper providing covering fire or a cleric healing my troops.

    I am an Xbox 360 user, and I'm perfectly comfortable with that. My membership gives me 2 free games each month (22 free games a year). Most of my friends use the same console, and we often play games together locally, not online. One of the reasons why I know I'm a true gamer at heart is because one of my friends accuses me of hacking every game I beat him at so that I'll win, even if  I haven't played the game before and I'm at his house.

     I'd have to say that my favourite game is The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, because I've made about 5 new games and I haven't fully completed it yet. I know it would take forever to finish every miscellaneous, side, and major quest line. The game runs on a leveling system, so as you level up your skills and gain levels, you increase you efficiency with each piece of equipment and increase your health, stamina, and magicka (magic).

     Using Sploder, I made my first game, and I can see myself  creating more in the future, because not only would it be a job I'd enjoy, but Game Creators earn a good salary.

Communication Compass(Assignment One)

     Digital Communication is the exchanging of information through the use of electronics. Four advantages of digital communication are: You can communicate with people around the world. You can easily send information to one another. You can talk to multiple people at once. You can easily talk to others, without having to meet up in person.      However, as with everything, there are also disadvantages of Digital Communication. Four of these disadvantages are: People can become obsessed with it, constantly talking to someone and always updating status' People can hide behind a username and bully others. Many rumors get spread through social media. People may often send you spam and junk mail.      Texting, calling, and Facebook posting/messaging are the three most popular forms of digital communication today. I think these are the most popular because they are the easiest to access. The majority of people today have access t...

Emerging Technologies and Automobiles

Technologies in Development      I think that each of the six emerging technologies will happen, but I think that some will take longer than others. I think that will EV Extravaganza will take longer to happen, as electric cars are expensive, as well as the cost of charging them. I think the development of flying cars will have the biggest impact on society, as people have been working on creating one since 1907.  I think that the first technology to be used will be Ford's Workload Estimator/ Biometric Scanner. as people have already made similar designs to try and reduce the number of  accidents.  When it comes to flying cars, I think they would be a huge benefit to society, as emergency personal could get onto the scene quicker, and wouldn't have to swap vehicles. The down side of this, however, is that if a criminal was using this vehicle to escape, they would be able to travel on both land and air, making it harder for the authorities to pursue them. W...

Acronyms Attack (Assignment Two)

     Three school appropriate acronyms not included on the list that would save time in a digital conversation are OMW (On My Way), AYO? (Are You Okay?), and HAYT?(How Are You Today). Four places/scenarios where you wouldn't want to use acronyms whilst communicating digitally are: While discussing a serious topic. During a business deal/transaction. While talking to your Boss/someone above you in rank. When making a poster/ad.
