The World without Computers

       A world without computer would be a disaster for me, as a student. There would be no "just one click" research, we should be using the library again. Back to traditional learning. For me, without world seems un-natural, since it became a part of our lives.

       It would be hard to search for somethin' without computers, although some said that, using computer will just lessen the learning outcomes of the students because there is a tendency that the students might just copy-paste the whole text and will not read anymore, unlike when they use libraries, the students have the time to read, differentiate and comprehend the whole text they are researching. But it depends on the student, if he is not motivated enough, he might not understand what he was reading.

       Computers are made in the field of education to help teacher and students to make teaching and learning process easy to achieve. But we, future teachers should not depend on this, these are things we manipulate to teach. It shouldn't be the one who will manipulate us.

Skills Competition

   

       On the skills competition Last February, 12, 2012 all of  the camarin and main campus students have gathered to show how talented and creative the TLE students are.



     
      All of us, 3rd year students have participated on the competition, i participated at the drafting area. And Fortunately, i'm glad i became the third placer even if the plate that we had is so hard and it's somewhat hard to analyze, but i'm glad i made it.

       But it's not about actually on what place you've got, it's about how you showcase your talent, how you prove that you are creative, how you enjoy the competition and how you make friends in a competition. :)

        In this Generation, computer is the most used technology when it comes to education. It is use for searching, finding information relating to what will be the topic, teachers can make powerpoint presentaion and present it to the class with the use of computers, computing grades etc. etc. But in the near future, what kind of technology will be invented after computers?

        In this video, it shows what are the other things will be existing after computers, the one that catches my attention is the "HOLOGRAM". Teachers and Lectures can be displayed as hologram, even when they are not around, or simply on the other places, they can still face you one on one by the use of hologram. Even things or people that are no longer existed, can back to life with the use of holograms.

        In the world we live in right now, there's technology which can make our studies more easier and convenient, but despite all of this, if there's a great and good teacher, those technologies can be vanished.
There's no technology that can ever replace great teachers.

SOPA and PIPA

       People are against the SOPA and PIPA thing, but, us internet users do understand what does SOPA and PIPA means ?

       According to this article about SOPA and PIPA http://lifehacker.com/5860205/all-about-sopa-the-bill-thats-going-to-cripple-your-internet SOPA means Stop Online Piracy Act and PIPA means Protect IP Act, IP means Internet Protocol.Sound Positive isn't it ?

It may sound positive, but on some livelihood who have invested on the internet, this may sound or literally negative to them.

On the Link above, there is a video about how will PIPA and SOPA affect us, affect the whole U.S.A, affect the whole entertainment industry and our internet life.

      They actually relate SOPA nad PIPA to music industry because the U.S government reason why they want to pass SOPA Act is to stop piracy. As we all know, we can easily download songs or music without the studio company's knowledge. So, they loss income, because we actually uploaded it and we do not buy it with our own money literally. U.S government believes that when we just upload it through the internet, the loss of the entertainment industry is also a lost to their economy, which is, i believe is wrong, look at what the internet help the U.S economy. It's far more better than the entertainment industry as to the link above.


       There are some petition against SOPA/PIPA in this Link http://sopastrike.com/strike you just need to sign up and you are one of the petitioners of the Anti-SOPA and PIPA. This weblink said that it is the largest online protest in history, i haven't tried signing up in this protest and i don't know what will happen if i will.


    Some sites like wikipedia.com have shown their protest in SOPA and PIPA, they blocked their website for a day, as far as i can remember, i was surfing, need to do my assignment and i have seen wikipedia temporarily blocked their page, with a phrase saying that " Imagine a World Without Free Knowledge " and i was thinking about that until now.





This is the way of google.com of protesting. They covered their name and  at the latter part it tells " Please don't censor the web " and i was just thinking if these kinds of website will be block, where do wet get now information?

     

    Government said that Sopa Act will make the internet more safe. yeah, it is more safe, but it also can make internet less reliable.
