Now, I am being surprised to know that I am writing the very last brog assignment. I have posted 10 articles, and the class is going to finish! (Although two more quizzes and the final exam have still left.) Could I learn about computer enough to finish the class? I would like to say yes. Because I knew I was bad with machines, my improvement must be great!
Then, what do I want to learn more? Well, the next thing to learn is how to use excel, for I have not learned yet. However, after finishing this course, I would like to know other features, like editing pictures. I am thinking of making my own web page so that my family and friends can know what I am doing when I get abroad. I want to put many pictures that I take in campus and with new friends; therefore, it will be nicer if I can edit pictures and use them.
Another thing that I would like to learn is how to protect my computer from virus. My father often teaches me how to take care of my computer and formatting or something like that, but I could never understand them. Although I can deal with a little difficult situation now, there are much more difficult troubles to cope with alone. I will not be able to relax even though I completed this course!
Furthermore, I would like to use the Internet fully to communicate with others. There are many famous web sites such as mixcy, but I have never used it. If I have enough time to visit these sites, I will be able to enjoy communicating with my friends or hopefully make new relation. The Internet is becoming another society; thus, I do not want to be late!
The computer will continue developing, and new functions will be made over time. It might be hard to catch up with, but I would like to use computer efficiently. It will enrich my life to learn the proper way to get along with the computer.

What is Viral Video?
Viral video is a video clip, which is now spreading in an amazing speed all over the world. YouTube is the most popular example of it, containing more than 40 million viral videos. Surprisingly, few people knew about YouTube one year ago; on the other hand, I am sure that there is no one in our class who have never visited there. It has become one of the most visited site.
The containts of viral video are often humorous comedy or parody; however, sometimes there are serious one. Websites like YouTube give us variety of choice. In addition, every users can contribute their own video clip by using special tool, which is not so difficult now. Recently, there is a new site in Japan, and the users offer interesting clips, from the way to makeup to the way to use Nunchaku.
The growth of viral video is so rapid that it has caused many problems, whose solutions are not found yet. The biggest problem is copyright: YouTube is said to contain the viral video that are copyed from other professional works. In the Japanese company that I mentioned before, the stuffs try to check all of contributed videos. However, what should YouTube does for the huge numbers of already up-loaded videos?
There is another problem. It is really easy to access viral videos, and we can watch them wherever and whenever we want. It causes problem because it allows workers to watch during their work! Also, once they have become the slaves of viral video, they would not be able to part from them.
In the future, these sites will increace even more. We must be selective, and concern about the problem such as copy right. If we become good audience, they will be useful and enjoyable for all of us.

The Computer in the Future
Our lives have changed dramatically since the spread of the computer. Ten years ago, I guess college students have to read a lot of books to write a research paper;of course, they do not have to type their papers! However, many new features of the computer are natural today. In the future, computer will connect more to every aspects of our lives.
First, computer will be used more by students. In addition to being used to make papers or researches, all classes will conducted with computers. Teachers and students no more use textbook, notebook, or blackboard. Class will be complete paperless.
Second, the use of the Internet will spread every business, including trading and shopping. Dealing will be connected to the on-line meeting, and the Internet shopping will the main means of getting things.
Third, everything will be controlled by computer in the future. For example, company can do nothing without computer. Computer will be used for scheduling, report, meeting, management, account and so on.
Of course, there are many tasks to overcome. The new types of crime is one major problem. Even today, many people are tricked on the Internet. Also, machine is always dangerous: we do not know when our computers will stop working. Since the memory is made from chips, it is easy to disappear or be erased by mistake. The computer will develop, as it deals with the new problems little by little.
