Screen Cast

Today I made a screen cast using screenr. I recorded my voice while screenr recorded my screen, and by doing this I can show someone how to do something on the computer without having to be with them. Instread I can record a simple instruction and they can figure it out by watching my screen on their screen and following my directions. My screen cast today shows how to add a location onto a google map that you have made.

I like the life I have!

Today I wathched a video on a program called second life. It seems that it is based in London and it is an avatar world that many people can interect and create a "second life" for themselves.
I personally don't find it interesting to sit and control something on a computer that I am pretending to be me. I would rather go out in the real world and experience real life first hand and not through a computer screen. Maybe I'm just a courntry girl that likes being outside, but I get frustrated when I have to be on a coputer for too long.
The entire video was about how complicated it can be if you miss something and how crucial learning certain things are. It seemed that it was way too hectic to really capture any users but instead they are scaring their users away. It was very hard for me to understand, and it gave me no further interest to try it out.
