notes week 11 essay notes

i have been finishing off all my artworks this week and putting them into designated folders and onto the file server... a problem i have realised is that my sizing is all out i find that when you open up the gifs and web pages on the live wirez website the files take up the whole screen... i have found though if you right click and use the open in a new window option it will some up in normal size?? ?will have to find out why this is...........

i have a few more thoughts on my essay as well this week

i did some research and found a scientist called Kevin warwick who is a university lecturer at reading university in England?? Anyway he seems to think that in the future it will be feasable to become one with the computer. To study his research more throughly he embedded a microchip into his arm for 9 days back in 1998 and found that whenever he was on campus in his university and with radar of his main computer he could turn lights on make doors open and was always able to be tracked. he said that when the chip was removed 9 days later he flet as though a friend had died.. If future humans are planted with this chip and live with it in their nerve systems forever would you be able to create a program that could be downloaded to sick people?

Essay

My essay is going to be about human bionics not so much cyborgs but how we can use electrodes and things like that to fix ourselves, for example people with parkinsons and epilepsy. l am hopefully going to incorporate my essay into my webpage and build my webpage around my research.. lm finding this essay a bit of a challenge as im finding it hard explaining complex situations and research into simple sentences. but lm really finding it interesting and am learning a lot. I want to be a Cyborg.!!!

the layout for my webpage is going to be mostly made in flash with approx 5-6 tabs to click on. it will then go to various images of new technology i found in my research.. one of the tabs you will be able to view my essay.

week 9 flash

write about using flash...the challenege and fun of using this new technology...

Flash i found was so so so much better than dreamweaver. you can make funky animations that require little effort if you know what you are doing. You can make games using flash that are effective for websites. today i went to kirupa.com and followed some tutoirals i learnt how to make the text flash, move across the screen and how to make buttons. i went home and played with the aplications more and found that i could incorporate sounds into the buttons when i rolled over pushed or ran my cursour over it.. i also discovered how to make a hyperlink. i thought that using flash was a challenge but the end result is more effective then using any other application that i have seen. when i researched different sites for inspiration for my final website I found that my favourite ones incorporated flash as the maiin tool used on there site. i researched mostly lounge bars clubs and fassion houses. one in particular really stood out and this was www.jeanswest.com.au it incorporated a virtual changeroom which included a maniquin and a rack of clothes that you can mix and match to help you find a style and a price range that suits you. this is a simple technique to sat your website apart from competitors and to help the consumer save time when shopping....

I really want to get good at using flash because i think it makes your website look better makes it more interactive. i also think going for a job and knowing flash would give you an edge over other people.
