Pianographique

This is a fun site where a person can go into, and click on different type of themes. In these themes the keyboard is now a sort of piano. But the sounds and noises on this piano are not your usual piano keys, an also each key corresponds to a picture on the screen. By doing this you trype around to make a kind of music video with each key you press, and picture that comes up on the screen. This type of music brings you into a visual and musical experience, where each sound is a picture on the screen, so you musical experience is now enhanced as you sort of watch the sounds now, instead of just passively listen to them.

Public library filters

The public library has opposed the government filters, because it restricts free use of their internet accounts. Even though it may restrict the porn sites, it also restricts other sites that may mention porn, but they are not about porn. This can greatly inhibit the users’ research experience. I think that the library can control their own computers with windows filters, and monitor the research of the users. From the readings as I have said the government filters block other sites that the user may need to see. The First Amendment with that of free speech, allows the library to publicly display what ever content they feel is right to display, and allow patrons access to.
At this point, the library does not have filtering because they do not accept federal
$$$ and therefore do not have to comply with the federal mandate to filter
under their existing guidelines.

College Recruiters Lure New Students with new Technology

A) The essence of "cool", I feel that this word is meant to describe the most popular thing, that is advertised, and bought beyond belief. "Cool", is the term that describes the one thing that everyone should have, and most people want, the iPod for example is cool, one of the reasons that it became cool is the fact that the advertisement caught the attention of people, and the "coolest" about the iPod is that it plays the most popular songs to go, and it is very easy to use, so cool is simple and easy to use items, as well as the best around.
B) These cool hunters could create the websites that are more interactive, and a great visual experience throughout the schools website. The could also have paid raffles, for the alumni an the prize would be a cool object. They could create a cool atmosphere by keeping it easy to use with popular music and creative ads.
