Week 5

This photograph is a representation of university life. The diploma, the big coat and the hat are all symbols of graduating university.
















This picture is very unconventional because it's not something you see every day. It's a very strange photograph because toilets aren't outside like that......











This photograph is a clear implication of summer because it involves the beach sun and the ocean.....the three things that make up summer.

This picture of a man reading a newspaper represents News because it is how everybody interprets the news, through a newspaper.

This photograph represents High Tech because it is a large piece of technology that is highly technical.

This picture represents friends because it has four girls in it, and they are all close together and smiling. clearly happy little friends.

I have chosen my essay topics for Video games and how they affect young kids minds.
Identification with video game characters : effects on physiological arousal, aggressive thoughts and feelings of anger / Sacha Rombouts. Is a book i will be using for my essay.

I could not find any journals at this point to help me formulate my essay topic.

A search engine is a database situated on the internet that basically helps you search the entire web for a particular topic. By typing words and sentances into the search engine you can easily access anything over the entire internet.

The ranking of a search engine works by using any the combination of the words typed in to obtain the most informable websites. I personnally like Google search engine the best simply because i find it the easiest to access and use.

Hi there,

My experiences with technology have been pretty broad throughout my life so far, but i'll start off by talking about my mobile phone.....i send text messages alot to let people know where i am and what i'm doing, i have found that it's the easiest way to stay in contact with family and friends. Text messages are also handy for me to find people at uni...gold coast uni is so big i get lost sometimes.

Computer technology plays an important part in my life, i use the internet frequently for reasearching assignments and keeping up to date with my university work. The world wide web is also an easy way to keep in contact with people who you don't see very often, by using communication websites such as myspace and msn it's easy to keep up to date with everything going on around you. I'm not actually connected to anyone of seas by the internet, but i have a friend who spent some time in America on exchange and now she uses the internet to stay in contact with her American friends who she can't go and visit. I have family in NSW that i talk to over the internet, it's much easier and simpler to contact people by the internet.

From Holly

Hello there Adam, my name is Holly Brown and i am in my second year of a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in Public Relations and Digital Video. I'm doing this class because i had a look at it and decided that it would probably help me with my major's.

I am looking forward to this course because it something that i'm fairly interested in. I have read the first couple of chapters of the textbook so far and it's a little bit confusing, because i'm still trying to wrap my head around it all. But anyways, i will see you in class.

Bye bye, looking forward to it.
