| COM 125- Introduction to the Internet |
Hello people, just spent a couple of hours on the video, and here it is :) Hope you guys enjoy -D. Anyway, i will now move on to talk about the google tools. I have download before google desktop. I think it is very useful because of the shortcuts it allows. But in my personal opinion, it lags the whole computer start up. When i checked the use of system memory. It seems that, google desktop takes up alot of it. Therefore, after sometimes, i decided to uninstall it. I guess these are the pros and cons of free software? Next, my favourite use of google tool is the google translator. I feel it is very useful as when you do not understand certain language article that you are reading, you can use it to translate. For me, i always use it to translate HongKong drama synopsis. Well, i would say the translation is not exactly accurate, but still, its already good enough as rather than not understanding what it is at all, it helps me to understand certain part. I guess, the problem with such translator is because they translate word for word and we cant translate word for word as certain things in Chinese does not mean that in English. Moving on, is the tools that Mr Choy introduced- Google Earth. I feel it is absolutely phenomenal considering the fact that we can from places to places in just seconds to minutes. Although we cant be physically there, being able to see those places within seconds is already more than satisfying. I mean, its like clicking Singapore to United States, in just seconds to minutes. It is definitely useful to explore these places that can help us increase our general knowledge. I haven't used before picasa but i have visited a friend's photos that is uploaded in picasa. Personally, i feel that it is rather laggy, but it could be due to the fact that my friend has submitted quite a number of album. When i meant laggy, it is during the time when we want to enlarge a particular photo, but for the web to load the photo, the speed is rather average. To sum up, i feel the advantages that the google tools have gave us is incredible. But i believe all the problems associated with the google tools that i stated earlier would be resolved, as if i am not wrong, most of the tools are still in BETA. So i believe, in time to come, google will be everywhere in our computer! ~me~ at 8:58 PM | |
