Summary of what I found

  I found that collages and Universities are looking for in an applicant. The main things they wasn are grades, and your scrores from tests such as the SAT. They also look for extracurricular activities. The fact that a students is involved in extracurricular activities shows that a student manageshis or her time better.They also look at your discipline as an important factor. The less detentions you have the better you will look to the universities. Reaserch shos that universities are more likely to accept an older person. Ex. 19 vs 17. This would be because of his or her maturity and life experience. Universities are also more likely to accept foreign students. This means that a foreigh student is more like;y to get financial aid and be accepted. This is because collages want to have as more cultural diversity as possible. These are the toughest universities to get into in the world:

Things I learned
- The term nanotechnology was introduced in the 1980's
-Originally it meant to create computers and motors as small as uni-cellular organisms.
-Today it means to create superior machines at molecular level.
-It can be used in the future to cure deseases like Aids.
-Ir could also be used to clean the oceans from severe water polution.
how will nanotechnology will affect my life.
  Nanotechnology will not affect my life in the nesr future. But when it does in at least 50 years from now , it will be able to cure mady deadly deseases , like a pill cures a simple cold. It will also be able to solve many environmental problems.

This is an important part of my project.

           http://keepvid.com/

          This link is useful because thanks to it I can easily download videos from you tube and other websites. This is an advance for my projects.

      Today I learned , how to download  videos from you tube using keepvid.com. I t is very useful because thanks to this I can download videos from any website. I still have to work on how I am going to Photoshop videos. I have not been able to successfully Photoshop a video yet. I must work on that. Today I learned how to download videos from you tube but Next time I must Keep trying to Photoshop a video.

Google 20% Project

         

                      For my google 20% project I would like to learn to photoshop a video. I would like to be able to photoshop people and animals into viedos. How to make someone apear on a video , without taping him. I would also like to learn how to change sounds and add sounds to videos. Another thing I would like to learn is to alter images that are alredy in the video. A good example of this would be to change skin tone or to make someone fat or thiner. I would also like to learn to change the backgournd of the video. I would like to learn how to change a video completely without filming another one. 

                         For my presentation I would like to first show all the videos I have photoshoped. I would do this by first showing the original version of the video and afterwards the photoshoped version. This way I can make clear what kind of changes you cam make to a video. After showing the bdifferent viedos I have photoshoped , I will photoshop a video infront of the whole class to show them how to make these changes, on a video. All of the videos I photoshop will be uploaded to youtube and link to a website that I will create, specifically for this project.
