Firstly, I want to learn more about web page. I knew various commands I can use, but I cannot use perfectly, of course. So, I want to learn about tags more, and understand how they work after I use.

Secondly, I want to know more about editing skill. This skills I mean are related to movie and music. If I can treat movie or video on the computer, I will also enjoy editing with digital camera. Also, If I know the way to operate music and edit, or even make music, the area I can do on computer will spread very much.

Viral Video

I want to pick up Viral Video this time.
Viral Video means that video people use as video advertisement on line.
These days as we can see from Youtube or viral video that was not advertised,
a moving image has very high popularity.
Moreover, Video advertisement has large share in the on-line advertisement market.
Selling of traditional on-line advertisement in 2006 was estimated that the selling was
going to 880 million dollars.
e-Marketer guesses that cost for advertisement of video advertisement will reach at least
15o million dollars.
But one problem has been discussed. This is that whether people who watch video advertisement
wants to click or not.
As one of reasons for failure of this service, indifference of people who watch video advertisement is raised.

What is "social engineering"?

Social engineering is a deed in order to gain unfair access. This is one of the ways a hacker and a cracker use. To make managers and users to open attached files by devising sentences is an example of methods used.

I
n general, social engineering is to get important information related to security like passwords by social methods such as steeling a glance, eavesdropping, and so on. In a narrow sense, it is the methods for getting some information out of people by non-technical way, which means that social engineers don't use electronic ways.

There are several concrete ways used in social engineering.
1. Trashing
This method is to get information from things trashed, or to read information in trashed office computer.
2. Steeling a glance
This method is to look at passwords on a paper attached on computer, or to look at a scene a person is inputting his or her password.
3. Web spoofing
This method is to make users to access forged Website, and then social engineers get information by having made users to input.

Security experts worry that as our society depend on information, social engineers will treat any security system. So, they raise the following as important things:
1. To educate people to be aware of the value of information they have
2. To train people to protect their information
3. To be aware of the methods social engineers are using
