One of my favorite things to eat is chocolate. I love chocolate chip cookies especially and so I would like to share a recipe on how to make these delicious cookies.

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degress F. Get yourself  2 large bowls where you will be able to mix the ingredients also a non stick baking sheet to place the cookies in.

Things that go in the bowl:

• 1 tsp salt
• 1tsp baking soda
• 2 cups of all purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 sticks of butter
• 3/4 of sugar
• 3/4 brown sugar
• 1 package of chocolate chips

Start by mixing flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl.In the other bowl mix the butter, sugar and brown sugar than add 1 egg at a time than once you added both eggs mix in the rest of the ingredients from the first bowl. Slowly add the chocolate chips in the bowl. Now you take a small round spoon take some mix and drop it on the baking sheet. This recipe makes about 4 dozens. Bake for 9-11 minutes depends are good your oven is. Once they are out of the oven make sure to cool them before removing them from the baking sheet. When they have finally cooled down pour yourself a glass of cold milk grab a cookie and enjoy!

Media has improved over the years becoming an important thing in our lives. Manovich describes how both old and new media are different in some ways. I especially found interesting his explanation on numerical representation. He describes it as “mathematical functions”which makes sense cause computer programs are just a series of zeros and ones. When we download photos we can change the size and angle on it. You can even change certain things or erase something on the picture. These numbers are invisible what we see is a picture. I remember watching a show on T.V and they found a photo which had been changed. Behind the photo was secret information which consisted of numbers. I thought it was cool how they were able to hide this information behind an innocent picture. Your looking at a photo of the beach as they zoom in you see codes which changes the picture entirely.

It is amazing how math is involved in media just to change characterictics of the picture we need math . Even film is broken up into a number of samples as described by Manovich. Math is important even in media we use numbers to create things. Media is so important in our lives what would a world without media be like. It is hard to think about that because we cannot image ourself without this media tool. We rely too much on media so without it we probably have a hard time adjusting to life.

So I would like to write about You Tube and the first time I decided to search for something on this social network. I went to the dentist  and he advise me to have my wisdom teeth pulled out. He gave me 2 option. The first was to be put to sleep and have all 4 remove the same day. The second was to be awake and they would numb one side than I would come back and have the other side done. I was really scared and decided to look for videos on wisdom teeth. I was really amazed on how many videos they had on it. They even had professional videos that were provided by dentist to show how the wisdom teeth would be pulled out. I finally decided to be put to sleep because after watching all these videos I could not bear the thought to be awake while the doctor is drilling my mouth, cutting gums, and pulling teeth.

Another time I used You Tube was to learn how to put eyeshadow on. Now I know other female students can relate to this . I had to attend a wedding and really wanted to look my best. I hardly wear makeup but when I do wear it I do a bad job putting it on. So I decided to look for videos that would help and found some interesting tutorials on how to apply makeup. So after watching this I did some shopping bought some makeup accessories and did some practice at home. It really help and I am doing a better job at applying makeup. So I really do feel that social networks help with certain things they all have unique features. You tube especially has great potiental you can find anything on this social network. Even talent has been found on this as well as tutorials that help people understand and learn things.
