youve got mail

You've Got Mail is a good movie when trying to relate it to subjects in the class. There were times when i found myself trying to stay awake, mainly becuase it was a chick flick, but other then that it was pretty good.
One of the major things that i noticed was the difference in personallities from the Joe Fox that was online and the Joe Fox who was offline. This realy stuck out to me the most just becuase i think that this is one of the most common things that occurs online. When someone talks to someone else online, but then if they see that person in public, they communicate completly different. this was a different case though, becuase Kathleen knew who Joe Fox was becuase he was putting her out of buisness, however when she talked to him online, she had no idea that she was talking to the same person.
This just showed the pros and cons of CMC. The ability to be someone else is great for someone who mabye has trouble meeting other people. However on the other hand when talking to someone whom you are hoping to meet eventually, it could be hazardous to to prentend to be someone youre not just to trying a impress the other person.

Ipod

I have determined that this post is going to have nothing to do with Electronic Communications, but it is an attempt to save my fellow classmates. I was hanging out in my room downloading some music when i pop up came asking me if i wanted to upgrade to the newest ITunes. So of corse i said yes, after the upgrade i then discovered that something was wrong with my Ipod the next day. I couldnt get anything to come up on my Ipod except this flashing battery icon and a picture of a frowning Ipod.
So i went to the Apple website and tried going through all the trouble shooting options hoping that this could be fixed. After spending hours plugging away i began to realize that my attemp was hopeless. No matter how i plug my Ipod in, no computer will recognize that it is there.
Now i have to send my Ipod to the Apple company in hopes that they can fix it or send me a new Ipod. Becuase i got my Ipod from Apple i was given a one-year warrenty which is still in effect.
So hopefully everyone reads this and will not fall victim to the ITunes update.
