Using Microsoft Word
I found the Microsoft Word exercise simple and I didn’t come across any problems. Although the Track Changes and Mail Merge were new to me. I think that eventually these could come in useful, the track changes I don’t think I would ever use though and the mail merge I am not to sure if I would use it or not I might if there was no other way I could do what I wanted.


Using Microsoft Excel
I don’t really use Excel because I don’t really like it just because I find it hard to use, I could do the simple stuff like putting data into a table but I could never remember the formulas to add the stuff up. But with the instructions that I was given I found it really easy and had no problems with it. This software could be useful to me after and maybe also during University if I have to use graphs and tables for assignments.


3D Worlds and Socialising on the Internet
What is different about the kinds of socialising that happens in these spaces? Does the 3D aspect make much difference?

I think that there is a difference between the two chat rooms when it comes to the conversations that are held within each chat room. I think those in the 3D chats rooms talk more about the game rather than MSN where people usually talk about what’s happening in there life and they are able to have more in depth conversations (to a degree) because they aren’t occupied with playing a game.
