Mystory part 1 Career discourse

For my career discourse, I choose to make a website reviewing the development of online games, especially focusing on the online games in early phases. I made this website by the software dreamwaver. When I was making it, I suddenly realized that I was actually using a very outdated thing to work. Why? you may ask. Is the version of the software too old? Are there some other updated software than dreamwaver? Well, no. By saying "outdated", I mean the concept of making website.

I would like to talk something about the early computers in my memories before going to the website. I remember the first time I saw computers was in my primary school. It was in some extracurricular activites, the tearcher introduced those 286 computers with black and while color dos system to us. I did not imagine this is something I would use everyday in future. I remember the early chinese input systerm is "wu bi zi xing", a system that requires people to memorizes many codes to just input one character or several. I had difficult time memorizing these code and I remember I was not quite understanding why people choose this difficult way to write rather than just write with a pen on a piece of paper. And because this machine was so expensive at that time(almost ten thousand for one), no family could afford it or at least saw it as a worthy investment. I did not see any of my classmates had one at home until I entered the middle school. Computers had upgraded to 386 then, and I first saw it in one of my friends' home. She was so cherished it that she did not allow us to touch it. Her 386 was surely not connected with the Internet. What she could do then was playing some pc games (one of them is Heros of Might and Magic) or input some chinese characters for practice. Besides these, I did not see any more founction her 386 had to her life. But still, it was evitable to have a comupter at that time.



I get to know the Internet when I was in high school. At that time I remember people were using html to code webpages. As a comupter language, it is not very friendly to common people, and not everyone at that time knew how to make a website or even knew what is website.Then in recent 10 years, as the Internet and computers became popular, more and more languages such as C++, VB, VF, have been arranged as required courses for college students in China. Though as an art student, I experienced again the hard time of learning these computer language in college, but I did realize that the popularity of these computer languages is a good reflection of the graduall importance of computer.



In recent years, the website making became more friendly. A lot of people choose to use online templates to build up their own websites. They do not have to learn the specific design language or computer languages to build a website. Building a website is no longer something professional, and it could be accomplished by anyone. The fact that human-computer relaitonship become more and more homonious is the result of the technology advancement, but it is also a temporary phase for future computer development.
