My Digital Life

In my daily life, I spent at least three to four hours a day sitting in front of the computer, sounds crazy, right? Checking facebook, email and youtube become the essential tasks every day. I would say I am a facebook addict, I keep refresh my page when I have time. Here is my facebook account, add me if I am not your friend yet  =] Facebook provides a channel for us to communicate, apart from updating status and commenting, the most important function for me is sharing. As I am a dancer, dancers often take videos during practice so we can do self-criticism in order to achieve better performances.

I can’t leave my iPod as I need to listen to music all the time and I can watch videos by it. If you want to download videos from youtube, here is an online software that I recommend:keepvid. It is free and very convenient (you can download the video as a mp4 file so you need not to convert it afterwards).

By taking this course, I think I can learn how media affect our communication, our language and our ideologies. And I hope I can get a good grade from this course.  =P
