Flash the wave of the future? My background.
I first got interested in flash in college year 12. I had never experienced anything like it. Never having any knowledge of how a program like flash worked i started seeking answers for the many questions i had. Started getting used to flash 8(action script 2.0) and was enjoying it. During year 12 we had to create a few animations in flash and a final project on what ever program we wished. Choosing flash i decided to create a web page. First of all it was going to load the pages externally, however the schools internet simulation was rather slow. So i decided to integrate each page to the site. It was a success and my friends enjoyed it.
Having been a wile since i have gotten back on to flash it is really hard to keep up. Before i knew it there was a new flash program (CS3) and a new action script language(3.0)
The most popular sites on the net seem to be rather simple e.g Google, Flickr and delicious. So that everyone can have simple access to them and not be bothered with having too slow a connection.
However Flash allows for easy to build animation and construction of ads in websites... thats why you usually see a combination of the both in one place. Also the sleek applicable design of flash products can be pleasing to the eye and keep the user interested.. almost like a game.
So as long as you can keep up with flash it can be a very useful tool!

Just trying to get rid of this cold! Just got a job which is pretty cool earning money and all..
The lecture on carving up the world had some smaller elements that i had never thought about before. The design patterns through out the course of time like titles on the front and spine of books. Later on this was applied to the web design. e.g Logo at top left of screen, link text different colour. Speaking of which I'm going to try and add tags to the end of my posts.
For the production task i think that i will try out option 2 the online exhibition. Have been thinking on what i should curate... I have also created Google, Deliciouses and Yahoo accounts to help my tasks and productions. Soon i will try and obtain a RSS feed reader perhaps Google or Bloglines.
P.S Never used a Macintosh before.. getting used to them XD

Getting more used to the idea of having a blog to attract attention of anyone who is interested. Coming into this course i didn't know what to expect in relation to studying media in the theory sense however this course is making it easier to understand the binary of the system. Upon surfing the net after (attending the lectures and tutorials) i encountered so many different small symbols that i never knew what they meant! e.g the deliciouses symbol RSS feeds and XML buttons.
