Web Site In English
The first web site I want to introduce is the web site for typing skills. There is a easy game for typing(not free game is included) by using bubbles. Moreover, we can access another typing practice program within this site like typing sentence. If you want to practice typing and improve the skills, I think this site is good for you.

What is "social engineering"?
In 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

What I know about Mac
Most people use nowadays, but Mac also has users. And there are things that Mac computers are different from Windows computers.
Firstly, we can change language on Mac computers easily. Many many languages are prepared, so we can choose one of them and set.
Secondly, if we have Mac computers and make environment we can use Windows too, we can use both Mac and Windows on only Mac.
Thirdly, Mac is superior in the field of image processing, so Mac computers are often used in this field.
Last thing is that I often see at computer’s classes. This is concerning basic views of desktop. There are many unique things for Mac. One of them is that we can look over all windows by one click.
I didn’t know Mac very much, but through classes I knew more and will know more.
