ELECTRIC VIOLIN!

I play the electric violin and I'm sure that most of you will never have heard of one until now. I've decided that my presentation will be on how they are made and what they look like as playing one is a hobby of mine.

Here is a bit of information about them:

An electric violin is a violin equipped with an electronic output of its sound. The term most properly refers to an instrument purposely made to be electrified with built-in pickups, usually with a solid body. It can also refer to a violin fitted with an electric pickup of some type, although "amplified violin" or "electro-acoustic violin" are more accurate in that case.

Electrically amplified violins have been used in one form or another since the 1920s; jazz and blues artist Stuff Smith is generally credited as being one of the first performers to adapt pickups and amplifiers to violins. The Electro Stringed Instrument Corporation, National and Vega sold electric violins in the 1930s and 1940s; Fender produced a small number of electric violins in the late 1950s. There has been a great deal more commercial success of well known manufacturers of electric violins since the 1990s for both well known, established companies and new makers too.

I can't wait to make my presentation!

MY SUPREME HACKING SKILLS ;)

Two Videos for Prep

The first of the two videos for prep talks about how the internet has built up and focuses mainly on 60 Hudson Street which is a main node for internet connectivity. I found it interesting because you can see the makeshift "heart" of the internet.

The second video tells us how mobiles have integrated themselves into our modern day life and how they have become standard and common now. To not be "connected" is now uncommon and it makes you realise how much the world has moved on and how quickly things have changed.

WOW!

THE PACE OF CHANGE

In Matt Edgar's blog, we learn how quickly the world is changing and how it is changing. For example: if someone came up to you and said "Do you think our world is changing?" I'm pretty sure you would say "yes of course" but I am also sure that if the person who asked you the original question then said "did you know that it took the radio 40 years to reach a sale market of 50 million, did you also so know that it took the iPod only 5 years and YouTube only 6 months to reach this same milestone!" I think these point (as examples) show clearly how quickly things are moving on and thus show us the "Pace of Change."
