There is technology in all of us. Growing up I always found myself drawn to the computer. I would spend countless hours surfing the Internet. I started off looking at information on video games and then I discovered that I could pretty much receive information about anything. I remember being younger and having to do a project on submarines. I must have been in grade 7 or 8. I typed submarine in the webcrawler search box. Yes, that’s right, www.webcrawler.com. Don’t spell it wrong. I’ve done that before and let’s just say it’s not a website you want to come up when your on the school computer.
When I clicked search, up came some results. Wow, so many results. Was this possible? All these results on a certain search. I remember having to go to the library and search the catalogs for books and then go find them in the aisles. This was so much faster.
I always loved the Internet and as I grew up, I knew I wanted to do something with it. I wanted to make something with it, I wanted to… make websites. As I graduated from high school, I took some time off to work and save up money for school. Finally, I attended Algonquin College for Interactive Multimedia. I enjoyed the first semester. Creating things in Photoshop, recording and editing video, creating and editing sound, also learning html. It was a great first semester.
School is always on my mind. This semester I have a 3d class and am really enjoying that as well. Hopefully as I finish the years off I will come out of this program and into a career right away. I enjoy everything that this program has. I already have a few offers for little jobs here and there to do their website.
At this point, I am currently hoping to create my own website showing off my work and releasing a very short 3d animated episode each month. Right now, I am swamped with school work and have not had any time to work on this little project of mine.
Another reason why I enjoy the multimedia field is that the technology and industry is always changing. With programs and tools changing and being updated every day, this industry will never be the same as yesterday, and tomorrow will always be different from today. It is a constant research project.
