Author: Ubisoft, Quebec.
Date Written: Tuesday, October 30, 2012.
Who: Ubisoft Quebec.
What: The article is about the game Marvel Avengers: Battle for the earth.
Where: The game is going to be sold worldwide.
When: The game released on October 30, 2012.
Why: The creators probably thought that it would be cool if they made a game on the movie avengers.
I think that the fact they made the game is going to be in kinect is pretty awesome. Something that I don't understand is that why they did not improve with the graphics. Because the game is for xbox I think the graphics should have been better.
I think this game relates to info tech by how the creators used computers for making the game. I also think that it relates to IT by how you are learning something everytime.

Who: Turn 10 studios, playground developed this game.
What: The article is about the new game forza horizon.
Where: The game is sold world wide.
When: The game was released tuesday october 23, 2012.
Why: To make more money or because of the demand of the people.
I think my article is interesting because of the graphics and how its a racing. I wonder what would happen if the game had a glitch in it and it did not work. I think if that happened the producer would be the one losing all that money on making the game and not getting the proffit from having the people buy the game.
I think this game relates to Info Tech by how they use computers to design the game.
Who:Pranav Mistry
What: A man who made technology controlled by gestures.
When: November 2009
Where: Mysore india
Why: He did the project because he wanted to make human life easier and to show how the technology works.
How: By taking the rollers of the mouse out and modifying it. he also had the ability to take pictures with his hands.
This video is related to INFO TECH by how he used computers and making your life easier.
I found it interesting how he could play games and watch movies on a piece of paper. I also thought how in the starting of the video he took the mouse apart and made a hand controlled thing.
flying with the jetman
who: yves rossy
what: he flew with a jetpack
when: july 2011
where: edinburgh scotland, grand canyon, english channel, swiss alps
why: he wanted to keep that freedom
how: by turning his body
how does this video relate to it8: how they used the computers etc. how ms.mcrae chose to watch the video .
i found it interesting how he did not need an buttons or controls to fly with the jetpack so the guy could control it moving his body. I also thought the way the jetpack was shaped was cool.
