What Facebook is for

This is a rather humorous animation, which somes up facebook and how its used today.

3d tv

Now I am not a big fan of 3D and have said its not really that impressive, but the new samsung 3D tv looks pretty darn impressive! However, after some research I found out that the tv need glasses, as with every other 3D product, which don't even come included. To add even bigger insult, you need as 3D Blu-ray player to play the films on!

Sony's internet ready tv

This is Sony's new range of internet ready televisions. This is looking to set the bar up for technology, as phones did with cameras, video and internet did. I mean the internet has succeeded in bringing us streamed tv, but why not just have a tv with internet built in, well now we do.

some books for referance

This is one of the book I will use for ym referancing in my essay. Giving a basic look at the features of yotube and how it works, which will be key to explain why it is important to me. The book uses the standard format for a dummies guide, reading it told me stuff even I didnt know about youtube.

My Laptop

This was my first laptop, which was a COMPAQ Presario CQ50. It was rather basic in terms of a laptop and it did what I needed it to do. Wireless internet was a really handy feature on it and is common in most laptops today but at the time, having the freedom to go anywhere in your house to be online was almost magic.

Finally after 2 years I upgraded to the new CQ61, which included a swanky new build it webcam and mic!, which came in very handy for skype calls to my mates at other universities. In terms of design it wasn't much different, other than the smooth vinyl casing and the silver front bit.
