Silent Living

          Wouldn't it be interesting if one day we woke up, thinking that we lost our sense of hearing, but in actuality sound was never born? What would it be like? Would it be beautiful, horrific, despicable, peaceful, chaotic or maybe even normal? Would the world be the same as it is now? I don't want to see it coming. That one day, in the future, all sound will be lost and the world will be one less of a beauty.

          Having the ability to hear is a great gift, it really is. Actually, the 5 human senses are. The ability to hear draws a great part of our lives. There is a beauty in it. We were given this gift to live amazingly, to feel alive. The essence of beauty in being able to hear what the world has to offer is truly amazing. Of course, while some of us see it as a beauty, others don't. Those people are probably the ones who have to deal with noise in their everyday lives. From scoldings, to shouting, car honks and sirens, screaming and whining and all the other sounds we would consider irritable. It would be nice if all of us could just come to appreciate everything that we hear. Take the sound away from the world and what do we get? It varies. The results are endless. It may be peaceful - the world minus the noise would be pretty cool, but I wouldn't opt for it; or it could be dull, which I definitely vote for because I really appreciate the existence of sound. Either way, I would never wish for sound to vanish.

   
     
     The sole idea of sound not existing is horrifying. I don't think I could ever continue with life if that ever happened. Sound is one of the things that make my life much better with it. It makes my day bright, knowing that different things are going on. Let us learn to appreciate it while we can. 

Paint my World

          Pictures? They were meant to exist. Their existence is a gift to humanity, along with all beautiful memories that have happened or are bound to occur. Pictures are an art - they're alive. Every picture has a story, just like every memory has an owner. We may express ourselves in these pictures, being creative and innovative. A picture has a lot of meanings, some simple and some deep. It is such a beauty that it can make us speechless most of the time.

          Past or present, it doesn't matter. Pictures will always be there to tell a story. Pictures paint thousands of words. Why? I have no idea, seriously. Maybe it's because of the colors, the definitions, the intricate elements and the emotions that the creator had when he made the picture (or photographer in case of real-life photos). One word is a piece of a picture. A thousand words makes one complete picture. Pictures are food for the eyes. Every essence and beauty that pictures contain can be delivered to the audience, but it depends on how they would perceive it.

          There are some who contradict this idea. Their perception is something similar along the lines of "a picture shows, but doesn't tell. A picture helps you visualize better than words, but it doesn't tell the full story". But still, we cannot deny that pictures are just as beautiful as words. They are both a lethal weapon. They have the power to move mountains. My only wish is that it's existence would never disappear.

The POW!er of Words

          Words. How more plain could they get? As they say, words are just words - actions speak louder than words. Yeah, I know, but those are for plain romances. Typical quotes said by people under the spell of love. I mean, come on. Words are just as powerful as actions. Need proof? No you don't. Now shut up and keep reading. Oh, I'm sorry for the rude language. Don't mind it though, I didn't mean to be rude to you. That's just how I express myself, my freedom. HA! You see? Now that's an example of the power of words. Might I remind you that this is a post by ME. Your arguments are invalid (See what I did there? The power of words again!) 

          Frankly speaking, words can get just as hard as a stinging slap, maybe even harder. The power words have is lethal. Words ARE a weapon. For an instance, my sister and I always fight. She ends up as the loser(I'd like to think so.) She fights me physically and I fight her verbally. I do have a naturally sharp mouth. I just choose to seal it for obvious reasons, people around me might end up crying. It's because they can't handle the intensity, they end up butthurt when I speak the truth. What? The truth hurts, doesn't it? But it mustn't be always used to hurt other people, regardless of how true it is. It most certainly shouldn't be used to degrade others or inflict pain on them. 

          Words also have the power to inform and convince people. They can let people know about what's going on around us. They can also be used to gain forces, like people in rallies, campaigns, advocacies, organizational matters and the such.

          Words are the basest and most necessary factor needed when speaking. Of course, what is there to speak of if words were never meant for existence in the first place? It's just a part of everything else in the world, that all possible things have to exist. The only problem is that, along with the proper usage, also comes the wrong one. One thing we should all remember is that all things should be always used for the better.

            

What makes multimedia click?

          Multimedia - I'm sure you've all heard of it before. Yes, we know of the word but only a few of us really know what it actually means. Multimedia involves the use of 2 or more of the following elements: sound, text pictures and animation. These are the things that multimedia is composed of. A few examples of them are
             
        visual presentations (power point, charts),


             
                        video games, 

movies and

             
                         websites.

Multimedia has gotten big over the past few years. A lot of people use multimedia everyday. Now, what makes multimedia click and how is the "bomb"?

          What do you think are the primary factors in multimedia? Of course! It's the interactivity and appeal to the 5 senses. That's the main reason why many people are engaged in multimedia. Multimedia is interactive in a way that it lets the viewer to be physically or mentally involved. It appeals to the 5 senses through the selection of sounds/audio, pictures, special effects to make the viewer seemingly feel it, and the like. The selection of these things may appear pleasant or harsh to the viewers. Multimedia has produced virtual games, interactive social medias, videos & movies, and many more.

          Multimedia has taken its toll on us. The satisfaction it gives us is proof of its success. It is a source of both information and entertainment. Multimedia would be very hard to replace, and I hope it stays that way. The plans on virtual reality isn't good news, it's horrifying. Let us stop ourselves from being consumed by the joyous results it gives us. Multimedia is a gift, but we should be careful of our own mindset - traces of human activity may be eliminated soon.
