Once i was walking down the street,  I saw a merchant who was a deaf mute.

She was selling a Chinese stuffed pancake and nobody really bought it as the summer weather was too hot for that particular food.

She looked very bored and hot under the weather but soon she took out her cell phone and preseed the buttons as if she was going to

make a phone call. My curiousness came up and I was wondering how she was going to talk over the phone as she was a deaf mute.

But to my surprise, she posed some actions through the screen instead of talking on the mouth wholes. It was nothing but a sign language that

she was doing over the phone where you can call people through the screen and you can see each other. So people like her, who can not listen and talk

at same time, this function is very useful and effective ones for them.  I was abstracted for a moment to find out and actually believe what i was seeing

at that moment of time.  I also have that same function on my mobile phone, but I never thought it was a big deal or even thought it was kind of

unnecessary function  to included on the phone.  But as i witnessed that sight, all my immature and silly thoughts have washed away. I always have

thought mobile phones are just some kind of accessary for people to show off . But now, I think  it is the most incredible invention that human being

have ever invented  in this world of living.

I am sure it was a huge stress for me to actually make the movie clip on my own by myself.

I could never imagine or even tried to cut or edit and create a whole new story of movie on my own.

I mean, I am not an expert at editing movies or clips at all.  Because i can barely manage to even edit images and photos.

But then i had to deal with this movie video clip thing?? I was blown out at this idea. Actually too scared to even start palnning.

Contrary to my expectations, once i downloaded the editing program and i went through the instructions, it was actually easy for me to

understand and actually to operate. But the hardest part for me was that It has to be under 10minutes long where i wanted to show lots of scenes and

parts where i thought it was very interesting to exclude it from the actual clip that Iam going to work on. Also it was hard to cut the scenes where

it was very short that the part that i didn’t want, has came along with the actual part that i wanted. And the musics, it was hard to manage

the volumes and lengths to balance with the scenes that i have selected. Eventually I have done the most amazing piece of work on my own whether it

was good or bad, I was very happy that i actually have done it by myself. But sadly i had trouble uploading it on the website, but now everything is

good. What i learnt through this project is that, I realized how hard to produce a movie or a song apart from whether work is good or  bad. So one thing

came up across on my mind that we shouldn’t just download anything, becuase once you think about it, it’s somebody’s hard work!! So we should at

least download things officially and legally all the time. I guess it was a good opportunity but also a good experience to have this kind of project

 Previously we had discussions on the subjcet of downloading in the class many times.

We have talked whether it is ok to download songs and movies or it is not ok to download it on internet.

And  we also  issued  that, it should be available for free online as educational supports or not.

We had many contrast opinions on this matter of subject.  But my opinion on downloading it self is ok,

 but downloading itself should be free on line for some certain purposes , i don’t agree with it. Before, I was annoyed with

 downlaoding things because there were few situations where i paid and it was legal to download for example movies or songs, but

i just couldn’t get going with downloading. The Key words that i typed in to find those movies or songs, the words it self was banned from the website.

I don’t really get this still.  I don’t know why that those key words are banned even if we pay the downloading fees and even legally

registered on that web site. I know that downloading itself is wrong even if it is legal, i don’t think there is such thing as legal just because once you

have paid for it’s fee. I bet  the websites that we pay for downloading fee isn’t legal as well. To me, word downloading means equal to stealing other

people’s creativities of work that they tried very hard to produce those works. But as ipods or PMPS  all sorts of technologies  once have produced,

we can not manage to just buy CDs, or Dvds. So i guess downloading has affected by technologies itself .

So therefore you can not really help people who are downloading illegally or legally.

There actually aren’t not much things for us to do to prohibit the downloading access at all unless all the tchnologies dissapear.

I watched the movie called “Taken” last-night at the cinema. Before i watch this film, I  knew about the plot briefly as people  already told me about it beforehand. So I expected this film to be just thriller and action type exciting movie  as well as the all the other movies, which contains the plot where their kids get kidnapped. Guess my expectation was right! But it has something important matter that i want to discuss about. First of all I want to say that i really liked the film and i actually enjoy  the movie more than i thought. The movie taken is directed by a french director. The main character Brian was the former secret Agent worker and now lives separately with her daughter due to the divorce with his wife.  He’s daughter Kim was  on a trip to Paris with her friend and during the phone call with Brian, she gets kidnapped by strangers.  There were no reasons or clues why she got kidnapped and where she was taken to.  As Brian was the brilliant former Secret Agent specialty worker, he flew over to Paris and through the risks and ventures, he saves his girl finally.

In the movie the MOBILEPHONE plays the major role that which has connected and led  Brian to his daughter Kim.

 As technologies have improved we have lots and lots of functions contained just in our mobile phone. I mean mobile phone does more than just making phone calls but we can take pictures and now even has a memory stick (chip) where you can store all your information and you can call and keep the contact with people even outside the country. As Brian has roamed Kim’s phone where they can call easily each other even if Kim was in France and Brian was in California. In the film, Brian records the voice of her daughter at the moment when she got kidnapped and actually finds out who took her, as he analyses the photo album which was contained in her phone.  Her mobile phone was the most important evidence which led Brian to find and save her daughter. It was interesting that the fact where technologies and media like mobile phones has took a big part in our lives. The possible real life problem that could happen in our life, mixed and matched with modern technology and media mobile phone was put together in the film and they were well harmonized I guess.  Therefore I realized the great usefulness of our mobile phones and it’s capacity in our daily life and I recommend you to watch this film if you haven’t watched it.
