My Rotoball Video

I really don't know what my rotoball video will be about. Today in class we saw several examples of people from the whole world and from our own school. I actually liked ALL of them because, even though many of them repeated kicking the ball, this project is just so cool. Like, we film ourselves doing something with an invisible ball and then I think in Macromedia we actually invent the ball! ☺ Now that I think about it, I would like to change the ball´s shape. Maybe change it into an instrument or something and play it! Then change it into a baseball bat and just hit the ball and make a home run. n_n Haha that would be cool. Maybe something more original like just turning it into a rocket and launching it.

Amazing Hindu Invention

In my opinion this new invention is just so amazing! I have never thought of something like that. My first impression aboutt his video was that it was boring. At the beginning you really couldn't understand anything he said but when he started showing clips about his new project he just instantly caught your attention. This invention just started by this Hindu guy breaking apart two computer mouses. When I first saw what he was doing I though: "What a jerk," but this changed when I saw what he had done with the mouses. It was just soooo amazing. I would obviously like to be able to own one of this new technology machine but it would be just so expensive! Sometimes it would be easier to just use the computer at home because it is also quicker, but after a while that this new invention gets the heat started I would just love to have one.

I think one of man's best inventions is technology. Technology helps us to do THOUSANDS of things, but it also be dangerous. As I have written in previous blog posts we need to be careful on what information we put into our social media pages. Technology permits us to do, as I said before, thousands of things. You can play games and watch videos, invent your OWN games and create your OWN videos.

When this Hindu guy said he would post his invention on Open Source, my mouth just fell wide open. Being the creator of one of the best technological inventions in the world, and putting it on a public page?! That is just being both stupid and generous, REALLY generous. Open source means putting whatever you want in public. Open Source, two different words. Open means that it is available, open to the public. Source, well, do I really need to explain it? If I had just invented the best technological device, I would sell it to a really big company like microsoft or something like hat. Putting it in public doesn't give you much credit. I think this guy should have sold his project and earned more money. =3
