Stigmas limit people to deal with technology. I was one of those people. I could use internet, do some research and check my e-mail. You know, basic things. Aside for that, I would not even dare to touch.
I really don’t know how, but I ended up on this very fun class, Technology Trends in Music Education, as one of my NYU classes. I am a different person now. I was always curious about how things work. Now, I pretty much have an idea. For example, do you know how the fax machine works? To me, is one of the most mysterious technologies.
This answer, I still don’t know. What I do know is how web pages are built. In fact, I can make a very basic one. During this semester, we had to built a web page dealing with some of the most advanced programs, which was pretty fun.
Even better, was the chance to get to know better our classmates. If see them playing their instruments, which unfortunately we don’t get to see much, is already very cool, imagine to see them doing imaginable technologies work.
Delio made this beautiful video showing a regular day in his life. Nasim told the history of her country. Eva has this very colorful and fun page. Rafael has sophisticated compositions. No page is similar. Incredible how once you know how to combine commands, creativity has no limits.
As myself, I started this blog, in which I’ve been having a lot of fun… I made a present to my mother on my animation page, and I got to know Photoshop and my newest passion: Audacity.
You have to check it out our Tech Class page. And, do a favor to yourself. This summer, try to learn something on computers. It’s not that hard. In the end, you even know why thr page don’t open. Because you forgot to write the dam html.
