(9) the web :)

I use internet most for the websites such as Facebook and Mixi, and these are my favorites. I guess they are not helpful for studying, but I can see the current news online, so it is useful using it. Seeing these websites, I can contact with my friends and can see their current news, so it makes me having deeper relationships with everyone from sharing our feelings. I also use Yahoo frequently. I check some news and e-mail on it. Today, everythings will be showed on internet, and it is becoming a essential thing which is useful of seeing the news and contacting with people for us.

(8) multitasking :)

I am so bad at using my time efficiently, so it makes me freaking out when the exam week comes. It's hard to work on many things at the same time, so it took many hours to finished up all of them. Since I've got the spare time, I do some assignments and reports in that time. Sometimes I had to wake up all night working on tasks though. I like the way that George suggested. We can do a final report in that time, so I can focus on other stuffs in another time and it is very helpful. I always get confused if I have tons of stuffs to do, so I want to work on each one deliberately, this time. :)

(7) short films:)

I watched the film; no.1 "new boy", and I thougt that was a heavy story. It was very interesting because it compared his current school life in Ireland and his home country's school life. A main boy seems like he had a fun time with his friends and a teacher in his home country, but in the school in Ireland, he seems sad and feels lonely all the time. Because of his looks (being as a black person), other students probably felt something strange to have a person who is very different from them, in their class. People sometimes discriminate other people if they look different. However, in this film, a main boy and a boy who teased a main boy, got along with each other. It shows that the people sometimes do discrimination (especially children) at the beginning, but eventually it does'nt matter. All People are same humans. This film tells us that the meaningless(?) of the discriminaiton, I thought.

(6) mobile communication etiquette

1...

I think the acceptable behavior in public places of using a cellphone is not to talk in there. I think just texting is okay, because that doesn't bother people. Although, years ago, I've heard that the only radio wave can cause(hurt) ill people who use some kind of machine for their heart. From this news, I was careful about using a phone in public places especially in the train at that time, but I don't know why......I do not care about it anymore, maybe I don't believe it anymore.
People's opinion changes depends on their ages and generations, I think. Elderly people might feels uncomfortable to use cellphones in public places, because they are not accustomed to using it. It might shows very rude for elderly people. However, recent young people quite use cellphones stately because it became as the normal thing to do. From this reason, I think people's opinions are different depends on their ages or generations.
