Journal Entry #4: BBC's >Click
The episode I watched from the BBC Click programme was the one aired on November 25, 2006. It talks about the advance technology functions available in high-rise South Korea flats, free anti-virus programs available, the new Nintendo game set Wii, and websites that allow us to upload photos and professionally editing it.
The high-tech South Korea flats discussed in this episode appeared the most appealing to me. It includes a panel on the wall that allows you to choose which device to control in the apartment and shows how much electricity has been consumed. Video messages may also be displayed there and the television can tell you if your laundry is finished or not and will let you know if someone is visiting. When you are away, you can also access the home system by a PC and know who’s been trying to get in your house. The house has a system that tracks down where you are around at all times and the refrigerator provides recipes and as well gives a warning when food is expired. The house of future organizes our lives and gives us constant reminders of our schedules. It is extremely convenient and personally I am really looking forward to living in a house like this in my later years. It can be said to be my dream house.
As for one of the most popular topics among teens today, we have the Wii. It displays more intense graphics and allows gamers to become more involved in games while actually putting their bodies into action. It is consider quite cheap and overall gives a positive impression to many families. It can be used to view photos and messaging as well. I agree the unique physical experience gamers get makes them the more attracted to this product and it is definitely one of the gaming industry’s greatest inventions. However, I know of dangers in playing the Wii so it is best to be enthusiastic but stay safe. A game is only most fun when it is safely and freely played. Gamers should stay aware that even though they are required to be more involved when playing that it is only a game and not reality.
I am quite impressed after watching a Click episode. I think they provide excellent information and makes incredible discoveries to share with us. In watching it we can become more aware of how much our technology advances each day and the shaping of our high-tech future.

That episode of click seems really interesting. It just shows how human are becoming more reliant on technology. Since we need refrigerators to teach us how to cook and when foods are expiring, we will become more lazy and useless in the future. In addition, it will affect our future generation because they will not know how to do simple tasks due to the advanced technology.
Imagine if you live in a house like that. If the power goes off, then you can't do anything because everything in the house is relied on technology which consumes electricity.
