parody video

This video is making fun of the old movie Grease. I think it is funny because it is completely opposite of the song that they sang in Grease. They still have the same song they just changed the words of the song to make it funny.

What is research?

I had to look up information on animal experimentation for a research paper I was doing for my senior writing class. At first I went to wikipedia but our teacher said we couldn't use that so I went to a bunch of different sites and found a lot of information on animal experimentation. I ended up being against animal experimentation.

The most recent time was just the other day my friend and I were arguing about different sport topics and records. We went to websites like nfl.com wikipedia and other places to find the information we were arguing about. We found that I was right on one of them and he was right on the other.

The research I did for my school paper was something I had to do. It was on a topic I wasn't really interested in and I didn't really want to do it. The information I looked up when my friend and I were arguing was something I wanted to do. I think they are both research. I would say research is when you go to different sources like books, the internet, other people, to get information on a certain topic or topics that you are studying.

today in class

Today was an interesting day. We were talking about Clive Thompson's article. I was not really sure of what his view on machinima was or what his title of the article was meant to be. I thought it was funny how when we actually talked to him he said that he did not even name his title and that the editors are the ones who make the titles.

Things can be used in many different ways rather than their intended purpose. An example when I used a technology for something other than its intended purpose was with my playstation. For the most part, the playstation along with all video game systems were intended to play video games. Although I do use it to play video games, I also use it to play music and to watch movies. Another example of this is with my phone. The main purpose of a phone is to communicate with people. I mainly use my phone for this but I also use it in many other ways. For one, I use my phone to receive emails or to receive a facebook notification. I also use my phone to play music, get on the internet, or to play games when I am bored. Another example is with my car. In my car, the visor light is broke and it is constantly on because the part that broke off is the part that makes the light turn off when you close it. To fix this, I put a thumbtack in the top of my car so when i flip shut the visor, the button hits the thumbtack and the light turns off.
