Where do you see yourself 10 years from today and 10 years before?

What did you find out through your interviews?

What would you do more to further pursue your question? What would you do different?

What was your contribution to the group dynamic? How did you work together?


I found an interesting of people several ages, which have several answers. For the young age people, they did not have clear goal or answers about their life or their future (marriage, job, child, money). However, for the old age people, they thought more carefully about the last of their life, money and family. Especially they mention about their children.

I might ask them more frequency age. Sometimes the kids might have an interesting idea about their future more than adults. Most of the kids image their future wilder and nicer. Therefore, I will change my question a little bit for the kids.

I help my group suggested the project and find the music and sound track. In my opinion, my team work together very well. We help each other organized the final cut. We listen to everybody comment and we will vote or give our opinion whether we agree or not.

Digital Nation

After watching clips from FRONTLINE: digital_nation, respond to the positives and negatives of time-based media based on your personal experience. 
- How do you create a focused atmosphere? 
- How do you combat “distractions” so that you are capable of managing your attention?

I feel like the kids will not pay attention to the professor 100 percent because they will concentrate with their entertainment more. According to the speech of the professor from Columbia University. He said that his students should get 100 percent for the average on their exam, but they get only 75 percent because they are not concentrate enough in the class. Some of them are listening music, play game, using internet,etc. Those media activity interrupt student's education a lot. Even though some of the students can do a lot of activity at the one time, in my opinion, I don't think the result will not be good as it supposes to be. 

The way that I create focused atmosphere is every time or whenever I want to study, I have to sit on the chair. I cannot lay down and study on my bed, and also I cannot listen to musics too. I just feel like music will take my attention from the books. 
 Moreover, I also has to limit myself to play face book or chat online, otherwise, I will play non stop and I don't think it is a good idea to spend most of my time on face book or chat on line. However, I still want to know what's going on around the world or about my friends, so I will not prohibit myself to stop everything. I just have to limit myself.

Food


I really want to eat Thai food in Thailand. It is very different from Thai food in America. Some of my friends told me to cook by myself, unfortunately I don't know how to cook, it is very sad.






Once I saw my roommate cooked Korean food, it looked so delicious. Honestly, I really wanted to steal her food. Hopefully, she did not see this blog ^_^


By the way the pictures are not Thai food, it is Japanese food. It looks so cute. LOVE IT
