flash idea

I got a great idea for the rotoball animation we have to do in computer class. my idea is about a man that grabs the ball that comes from the right, streches it and the ball becomes a skateboard. The man grabs the skateboard and preforms a trick called heelfilp. After this he grabs the skateboard transforms it into a ball and trows it to the left. i thought the animation was going to be really complicated but when Mr Picketts told us to bring a camera i realized that it was not impossible. This is the idea I have for the rotoball animation. I am sure that it will be a great flash animation.

paragraph 3 - at the end he says that it is quite cheap to make and that he will be sharing his software - Open Source. In your own words what does open source mean? What have you used that is "Open Source", what do you think are the pros and cons of sharing software in this way.

I think that by open source he reffers to distribute his network freely. He does this so everyone can know how this works and don`t be privated from it. I have used open source many times in the internet. Almost everyone that has used the computer has bee in an open Source. This Open source is a good idea because it will help people catch up on the technology of today and the future. Besides great ideas there are some cons about this software. This open source will be so big that it will overload with information and the company will have to improve each time. This source can be helpful and a probem but is still a good idea.

paragraph 2 - what you feel are the greatest things about the technology (and what are its greatest limitations)

The technology showed i the video is amazing and has great qualities. One of the things I liked is that it can be used almost everywhere. You can project the image on a flat surface and use it as it was a computer. Another characteristic i liked is the one that tells you about the thing you project on. One example is whe you project the light on the airplane boarding pass and it tell you if it`s delayed or on time. The last thing I thought was unbelieveble was the picture device. I can`t believe that with a gesture of the hand you can take a picture. This device astonished me with it`s incredible characteristics.

paragraph 1 - your reaction to this new emerging technology, what were you thinking wow watching the video. would you want one of these? why or why not?

When I saw this video I couldn`t believe that it was real. the technology the man was presenting was very advanced and superoir to most things in the world. Now I know that things I thought were imposble can happen. With the item that was presented you can do almost everything with just movement of your hands. If I could have one of these free I would accept it but if I had to buy it I wouldn`t waste my money on that. it is true that you can carry it everywhere but if you go out is because you want to do something productive like exersisng or hanging out eith friends, not using an electronic device. This video really suprised me with all these new things.
