charity shop



I went to the charity shop near college today and bought a word processor! It's amazing, and I love how it functions. The font is pretty good too - will have to find out what its called. Maybe do my project based on this? It could focus on printed type - the history of the keyboard, the evolution from the typewriter to the computer to the mobile phone to the blackberry.

Analogue to digital

I need to research this in more detail but I think a good topic to focus on for this project would be the switch from analogue to digital and how this effects us. I for one am really annoyed that this is going to happen, as i really enjoy TV as it is normally, and tuning in my old radio. why do we have to change?

Old technology


Getting into thinking about old forms of technology - the most interesting being recorded music formats and their players, eg the walkman. I've always had a fascination with cassette tapes and i still really enjoy playing them. I remember recording myself as a kid, playing around with my best friend and imagining we had our own radio programme!
