It's 2009 and you turn on your Xbox360. You launch Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, playing for hours staring at your TV. You find yourself in a situation where you die four times in a row and out of rage throw your controller at the TV. You see a black streak, you've essentially destroyed the monitor and ruined the RGB display. The monitor is made up of tiny red, green and blue lights that make up what we see on the big screen which is what I've learned about it chapter 1. As a curious kid who did dumb things like put his eyeball up to a TV, I've always wondered what those tiny colors were.
Hi Anthony! I truly appreciate the uniqueness and special touch you bring to your posts. Your use of examples resonates with me, as I shared similar thoughts growing up. The way you seamlessly connect gaming with your topic adds an extra layer of depth to your content. Keep up the fantastic work!
ReplyDeleteThat's a vivid and relatable story! It's fascinating how moments of frustration, like throwing a controller at a TV, can lead to curiosity and learning. Understanding that the colors we see on screens come from tiny red, green, and blue lights is a cool realization. It shows how intricate and carefully designed technology is, turning simple colors into the complex images and games we love. Plus, it's a great reminder of how our actions can have unexpected consequences on our tech!
ReplyDeleteNo need to put your eyeball to the TV or throw your controller at the TV anymore, Anthony :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad 1.1.11 Digital Images shed light on (R)ed, (B)lue, (G)reen for you ^_^
You mean there isn't a small troll running around painting on the screen! For somebody who remembers black and white (or green) monitors this module really helped me understand how images are displayed and like you saved my eyeballs from retinal burn.
ReplyDeleteHi Anthony, When going through your blog I felt its irrelevant to technology. But later you have brought your thoughts on RGB Screen. Its really great that you have brought your real-time stories and compared it to the technology used.
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice "throw" back to the good old days, I remember watching videos of people throwing their Wii controllers at the tv on accident and the dark blue screen with white streaks after it was sticking out of the tv, it's a good reminded to wear wrist straps. it's also how I learned that there is a film over the tv so that you can see the screen rather than a white tv screen.
ReplyDeleteHey Anthony. I can recall a lot of those feelings except the part about throwing my remote, there was plenty of rage quitting moments tho. Isn't it interesting how out of those three base colors, an entire picture is painted that shows an endless possibility of colors?
ReplyDeleteHi Anthony, I really enjoyed the memories your blog brought back. Also how you managed to portray knowledge at the same time as inducing some humor. Also what was your favorite map?
ReplyDeleteHi Anthony! This was so well written. While sharing an experience of your childhood, you shared information that not many know about.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know other people relate to the curiosity about the red, green, and blue lights that were on our screens. Obviously not the throwing the controllers at our TVs part though. It's amazing how three colors can display the video games we know and love!
ReplyDeleteHey Anthony, I really enjoyed that you brought in some nostalgia to your post. I actually believe it's the best gift anyone can give; the concept of RGB lights is so crazy. The science and evolution involved in this go beyond my comprehension. Good job on your interpretation of the assignment, bro.
ReplyDeleteHey Anthony, I like how you relate the RGB display on your Xbox game pr to what we have learned in IS101. It is clear that the course has taught us a lot, and it is cool to see those connection in action!
