today at new media lecture, we talked about the history of the INTERNET or, as it was formally known - ARPANET. so now, i have a whole new perpective when i'm doing stuff on the net, and i start to really appreciate and notice the wonderssss that have been acheived from almost 50 years ago up till now! who new that 'hyperlinks' were such a big deal! now i know...they ARE. 50 years ago, it would take a computer whiz and genius to research information on the net, and now...it's honestly idiot proof! anybody can do it, and it's so easy...thanks to the innovation of HYPERLINKS~~~woot!! and now i noe what all those strange letters mean! '
IP' means '
internet protocol', '
www' stands for '
world wide web', '
html' stands for '
hypertext mark up language', '
http' stands for '
hypertext transfer protocol'!!! ahh...how strangely knowledgeable i feel..though..i'm still not exactly sure as to what i'm studying..
lecturer is this ang moh guy with a foreign accent which was quite hard to understand..and he likes to ask random questions, ask fer examples fer everything and anyhow point at ppl to answer..he said he will tend to pick ppl with bright shirts man..so looks like have to wear blendy dull wallflower colours every monday. OH..no BROWN either....cos today he picked two ppl wearing brown..so i guess he must like that colour. lol. but..he is quite borin..
me and sook then went to vivo during our 4 hour break to eat and shop a lil. we should have been studyin i must admit..but..haha..enjoy b4 tutorials begin, then we wun ever get to do such stuff anymore.
PSYCH lecturer is also an ang moh, but i think he is british. thank god he doesn't have a thick british accent..in fact..i think he sounds like his accent is becomin 'singaporeanised'. he was lecturing on biological psych today...which basically is no different from studying the brain in bio. he admitted that none of the lecturers really wanted to teach biological psych, cos they noe that the students hate it(since most of us are art students, thus we're not scientifically inclined). i duno whether he is borin or mebe it's just the content that he is teaching that makes him appear borin..but..the buzz in the lecture hall was louder than usual that's fer sure..had the strong urge to shout out "SHUDDUP LA!" but of course...i would never.
took some sights of school with my phone(which i learnt in new media is an example of convergence - cause ur phone isn't just a phone anymore, it's a camera too!) argh! social science subs really help u see things in a diff light! it's cool!
