journal # 13 : Computer and Technology

Ever since the discovery of computer, there has been a great leap in the advancement of technology. Way back in 1975 when Bill Gates opened the Microsoft, almost all the countries in the world wanst it.Computer has done a lot in improving the quality of human life,in the telecommunications have done a great changes,we have now these so called emails,instant messages,and most especially the internet.

In the business area, it improves the quality and increase the quantity of productsthat a certain company is producing.Computer technology also reduces the use of manpower through the use of the so called ‘Robotics’. It shortens the use of human laborand thus surpasses the quantity of products that human can do. Mankind reach the outer space, they reach Mars and even beyond by the use of computers. In the modern warfare, soldiers need not to go to the battlefield but insteadthey will just send in those unmanned vehicles anywhere in the world and then in a matter of seconds it can reach the enemy for an unimaginable destruction. They can achieve this through the use of GPRS,sattlelites controlled by computers.

In conclusion to this, computer has brought a lot of improvements in the life ofevery individual. With out this technology the world seems to stop turning, it seems that people can no longer move,this modern day gadgets becomes a necessity for every individual.

Computer made peoples lives easier, it makes people lives happier, and at the same time lazier. It guides mankind one step closer to destruction through modern warfare arsenals.Yes it improves our quality of life but we should not forget that this is just a technologycreated by human intelligence, we humans should still control it and not let this technology control our lives.

journal # 12 : Reaction of P.S. I LOVE YOU

I'm going to introduce “A charming journey from grief to hope with sweet, sad, and funny.” A novel called “PS. I LOVE YOU.” Author, Cecelia Ahern, she wrote her first novel “PS, I Love You”, which was sold to over forty countries. Cecilia Ahern makes a splash with "PS, I Love You," a surprisingly charming debut about grief, love, family and struggling to move on with life.

Some people wait their whole lives to find their soul mates. But not Holly and Gerry.
Childhood sweethearts, they could finish each other's sentences and even when they fought, they laughed. No one could imagine Holly and Gerry without each other. Until the unthinkable happens. Gerry's death devastates Holly. But as her 30th birthday looms, Gerry comes back to her. He's left her a bundle of notes, gently guiding Holly into her new life without him, each note signed "P.S. I Love You.

As the notes are gradually opened, and as the year unfolds, Holly is both cheered up and challenged. The man who knows her better than anyone sets out to teach her that life goes on. With some help from her friends, and her noisy and loving family, Holly finds herself laughing, crying, singing, dancing - and being braver than ever before.

Life is for living, she realizes - but it always helps if there's an angel watching over you.
In fact, Gerry ‘s each letter is pushing Holly further into a new future. With Gerry's words as her guide, Holly embarks on a journey of rediscovery in a story about marriage, friendship and how a love so strong can turn the finality of death into a new beginning for life.

This is a novel talks about love. After i saw a movie , i bought a novel as well. I must say this is the best romatic movie and novel for this year.

Journal #10 : Life in USA

Everyone has its particular life.There are parti-coloured challenges.Some people like to have a smooth life without any challenges;some would prefer to have exciting and changeably life.For me, I'm prefer both conbine together.Sometime its hard to go though the tough time,but you will grow up and learn more after that.

Life is too short to waste.Since i have been came to USA,there are a lot of life challenges are waiting for me. In the beginning i feel so home sick, i almost cry every single night. Coming to this bread new place with this quite old age.Feeling i'm not that young anymore. Having a lot of missions are waiting for me to accomplish them which is get into a good graduate school,reach my goal,and so on. However,i'm still making time.I want to go back home , but i can't. too many struggles and complex reasons,making me still here hardly.

Looking back to my past of 25 years,i feel i still didnt do anything that meant to my life.I always smile,laugh and so enjoy my pointless life.Life is meant to be savored.This year i would like to try and do more.I feel I'm lucky, the school that i'm attending, all my three teacher are really great.The morning class, teacher really try hard and work hard to teach us.She is cute and nice.I really admire her attitude in class,she makes the boring class become interesting. I have to say,i'm learning a lot from her class,such as how to write different type of essay,how to write a casual dairy.She is 110% a good teacher.My afternoon classes, those two teachers,are really good ,too. i learn how to deal with business conflict,how to compromise the business and so on. Its being helpful to me already.

Journal # 9 : How do i choice my school while i'm not attending

It's hard to deiced which school you are going to attend,when you have never seen the school before.Besides,what major do you want to study also really important.Because the education system is a little bit different between USA and Taiwan,than sometimes it's really hard to choice.

How did I decide to attend the school you are now attending.First,I decided should area i want to live in.I choice to study in California,because i like the weather, beaches,and feeling,than decided which area in California.I wanted to apply the schools in San Diego so badly.However , I can't ,because a lot of artificial reasons.So sad.I want to apply the schools in San Diego,because the weather,and environment are great.Father, i was studying in UCSD for a term. I really like the professors, and campus a lot.

Second,I choice the major i want to study,I want to take Marketing as a major. After that, i compare the schools ,than decided which are i'[m going to apply.I did a lot of research about what is the school requirment,what is the school 's rate in the USA,When is their deadline,and so on. It's really a tough question which is choicing the schools.I at least compared 10 schools.

I hope my choices will be correct.I believe if i study harder,i can reach the goal ,and complish my dream.

Journal # 8:In what ways are your country similar or different to the United States?

Taiwan ,an beautiful island is located in the Western Pacific ; U.S.A.,the third biggest state in the world. Every country in this world all has their own culture. However ,when one culture meets other culture,what will happen ? Conflict and Compromise.

Comparing by American and Taiwan's culture, the western culture pays more attention to individual development, but comparatively Chinese culture would care about comprehensive development more.First,there are differences in family values. Chinese cultures stress on family love ethics. It is common for parent to buy things for their children, even if they have already grown up ,parents still support them. But it is different in the west. When children grow up, parents are no longer support them,and they need to be responsible for all their expenses. In addition,some American students start to work since they are really young. but such thing seldom happens in Taiwan.

Second,let's take a look at the differences between food habits. People from the east eat rice as the main food source ,the people from the west choose potato and cheese. Beside easterners get used to chop stick, westerners use fork and spoon. Although there are lots of culture differences in these two countries.However recent years social vicissitude, we discover western culture gradually influences Taiwan. These are quite clearly from the food we eat, fashion we wear,and some attitude.

Above all ,we may see the difference between two countries. Although multiculturalism may let us study the renewal things.In my point of views,every different culture has different pretty inside each culture. Learning how to admire it will be more important .
