Game:Play:Simulation

What do we mean when we use the word play? What do we mean when we say lets "play"? What does it mean when we use the word "game"?My definition of both the words play and game is to do something fun, entertaining, and enjoyable. Both words are always used to togethere. You will always hear someone say "Let's play a game."

I am a Cyborg

Erica Mariano
Title: I am a Cyborg

What is a Cyborg? A Cyborg is a human robot. In today’s society, many people are Cyborg. With new technology being a part of today’s society it is hard for people to live without it. I am not ashamed to say I am one of many who cannot live without technology. Therefore, that is why I consider myself to be a Cyborg.
My cell phone is the number one electronic that I cannot live without. This is one invention that I feel was the best to be invented. My cell phone is my life. It has everything in it. It is my planner, alarm clock, mp3 player, and of course my telephone. My cell phone is always attached to me. There have been times where I did not have my phone with me and when I do not have it, I feel like I do not exist in the world.
The computer is another electronic device that makes me a Cyborg. I always need to use the computer. The computer is also around when I need. It serves for almost everything that I need. It is available for homework purposes, online shopping and banking, instant messenger, and online gaming.
The last thing that makes me a Cyborg is my debit cards. I never ever have cash on me or I rarely carry cash. Almost everywhere I go, I am able to charge what I want to buy on my card. I feel important when I use my debit card because all the ‘big shots” uses it and that’s all they use. My debit cards has made me kind of lazy in the sense that I never have to go to the bank and stand on line to withdraw money.
Technology is what everyone relies on in today’s society. Many people cannot live without their favorite electronic gadget. In conclusion, I have to admit that I am one of many who rely on technology. My cell phone, computer, and debit cards are a few things that have created me into a Cyborg.

The Matrix

This past week, I had the opportunity to see the film “The Matrix” for my English class. I never seen the movie before only because it was never a film I was interested in seeing. After watching the film for the first, I thought it was good but, not great in my eyes. I didn’t really enjoy it. I think the reason that I didn’t enjoy it was because I wanted to long to see the film from when it first came out. The movie to me, starts off kind of slow but it becomes a little interesting in the middle of it. I am still kind of confused about exactly what the Matrix is. Maybe I kind of missed the part where they explain what it is. The character Neo who is played Keanu Reeves was a computer hacker who wanted to know what the Matrix is and what it is all about. He was introduced to the Matrix by Morpheus (played by Laurence Fishburne) who explained to him that the world humans live in is fake and we do not see the real world. I was totally able to understand that part of it the film. Now comes the famous scene of all where Morpheus gives Neo two choices. The first choice of taking the red pill he would see, learn, and live the matrix and the the second choice was the blue pill which he would live his regular life as a computer hacker and never get to see the "real world". Neo of course picked the red pill and began to learn the Matrix. I am just confused though in what it is. What I did like about the film was the fighting scenes with the martial arts techniques. It was cool.
