My Recommended Websites

Hi, there!! I have a blog assignment today, and the topic is my recommended websites. So I will show you my three interesting websites, today. The first website is called Yahoo! Music (http://music.yahoo.co.jp/). Maybe I think almost all everyone knows I Yahoo but some people don’t know Yahoo! Music. You can listen a number of music, for example, J-POP, ROCK, JAZZ, and so on. It also has “Artist Special,” it broadcasts one artist all time. This website is good for music listeners. But the before that, you have to create your own yahoo ID in order to use this website. It costs you no money to create your own ID. The second recommended website is YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/index). You can watch videos for free. All you have to do is just type words whatever you like to watch. I often watch music videos. The third recommended website is that you can watch music videos, news, movies, and so on: GyaO (http://www.gyao.jp/). This website is also for free; you just create your own ID. It is so easy and it doesn’t take too long. This website always broadcast various types of video. This website is almost like TV. I think maybe you can enjoy on these websites so if you have any time, try to visit these websites.

iPod vs. iriver


Good morning or good afternoon everyone!! How is your life going recently? Today, by the way, topic is free so I will write about iPod. Why I write about iPod is that I started to think I want it. I have MP3 player named iriver like iPod but it is only 5GB. Of course, iriver has other devices that are more than 5GB. I think iPod looks cool and it has many optional extras for iPod. I like that so I want it. Moreover, it can play a video!! It’s amazing, I think. You can buy from iTunes. iPod has many advantages but I don’t like one part: it cannot play radio. Actually, it can play radio, but you need to buy “iPod Radio Remote.” It costs about 6000 yen. It is expensive for me. This point is the disadvantage of iPod. On the contrary, iriver can play radio with no optional extra. Therefore, I bought iriver. I think, in the near future, apple computer will produce new iPod that can play radio with no optional extra. I will buy it, if apple computer produce it.

Computers make some bad things

Hi there! Today, I will talk about a danger of computer. Nowadays, a lot of people use computers because it is really useful; it can send e-mail to anybody, search anything through the internet, buy anything, edit video and so on. Computers are indispensable things today’s life. However, convenient almost always involve some dangers, I think. One possible problem, I think, is failing eyesight. Many of you had eyestrain at least once when you used computers a long time, didn’t you? I had it all time I use computers. So, computers are bad for our eyes. Recently, elementally school students also use computers in the school. I think it is good for the future to use computers, but it is bad for eyes. A solution to the problem is to see the computers from upward. It lessens eyestrain than seeing from downward. Computers are really useful but you should recognize some dangers of computers.

The Origami News

National Semiconductor Corporation released a new device named "Origami" on March 2nd. It was a concept prototype. National described Origami prototype as "a flexible device that "folds and unfolds to perform eight popular consumer electronics functions in one easy-to-use device." The device was said to be 7.5 inches long, less than 4 inches wide, 1.5 inches thick and weighing about 10 ounces. The Origami folds and pivots into a digital camera, video camcorder, smart phone, MP3 audio player, PDA, Internet access or Internet picture frame, email device or video conferencing terminal. I think that this device’s size is not very small, but it is so useful. I was surprised that it can use not only Internet and video camcorder in spite of this size. I can bring anywhere I want really easily. In the future, these things will come out more and more, I think.

The Future's Computers

I have three computers in my house; two of them are desktop computer, and one of them is laptop computer. These are really useful to do various ways; however, these are big and expensive. In contrast with computers several years ago, these became really smaller. Therefore, in the future, computers will evolve more and more. I suppose that future’s computers will become really smaller than present one. You can fold the computer in really small like a cell phone but the sizes are same as present one when you open it, and weight is really light. Moreover, you don’t need to type the keyboard; you can type words by using voice. Now we have this system but it sometimes make some mistakes. In the future, it won’t make any mistakes: it can type exactly words, which you tell. If it will be invented, you don’t need keyboard. Computers are evolving day by day.

If I find a lot of money,

If I found $100,000 on the street, I would buy many things. First of all, I would buy laptop computer, which is mackintosh computer, and Ipod for me. Moreover, I would buy desktop windows computer for my family because my home computers are old. Next, I would buy two laptop computers and two Ipod for my friends because they wanted MP3 Player for a long time. It’s easy to buy MP3 Player; however, they noticed that MP3 Player automatically requires computer. Therefore, they gave up to buy MP3 Player. I would buy one more thing for me; I would buy digital camera because I want to make some short movies. When I watch teacher’s short movies, I thought that it was so cool. Furthermore, I want to take a lot of photos and add these images to my blog. However, this never happened in my lifetime.

Yoshi Omnibus

I have three computers in my house: two of them are desktop, and one of them is laptop. I usually use the laptop because it can burn CDs, and easy to move. Recently, I don’t burn CDs but when I was a high school student, I used to burn CDs. I checked popular music on MTV, and I searched these and make a list of music, after that I burned the original CDs, which named Yoshi Omnibus of overseas music. I lent the CDs to my friend. These CDs became popular in my friends. I also made a list of music by using computer. Sometimes Yoshi Omnibus had two discs; one had only music, second disc contained videos. I really enjoy using computers. Computers are one of amazing inventions, I think.

My Fovorite Point of Computer

Hi, today I’d like you to know about what points of computers I like. First of all, I liked to use computers to write an e-mail to my friends when I was a junior high school student; therefore, I learned how to use computers and touch-typing by myself. Because it was so interesting to me to write an e-mail by using computers, I was doing it everyday. When I was a high school student, I used computers to download music and make my original CDs. Nowadays, I like to do internet because I can not only search various things which I want, and also buy any things which I want. However, I usually use computers in order to write an essay, or search for something that I need in class; I use computers for school recently. But I don’t care about it, I like typing something and studying for school to use computers:)

My History with Computers

My parents bought computers before I was born; however, I didn’t use it because I had no interests in it before. When I was a junior high school student, My friend used a computer and wrote an e-mail without seeing a keyboard. I fascinated with that, and that time I thought “I want to do that!” I turned on the computer and downloaded the practice program of touch-typing as soon as I got home. It was so difficult to remember the position of words at first. Therefore, I practiced it everyday in my free time. Finally, I memorized the position of words and I could touch-type. Touch-typing is really useful when I write something by using computers. Recently, I use a computer to not only write an essay, but also download music and use internet. Computers are difficult to use but computers are very useful if you know how to use it. This is my history with computers.
