IMAX and MALL experience

I am so happy when lecturers said that they will bring us to watch Prince of Persia in IMAX version.We reach Berjaya Times Square about 4.50pm. We have 1 hour plus time to shopping(MALL experience). When i step into Times Square. Its so marvelous and huge. I feel like i standing in a very high class place. The structure of Times Square is very simple. Its not easy to lost inside the Times Square. There is about 12 floors and the IMAX cinema is located at 10th floor. Times Square got about over 60 cafes.Berjaya Times Square offers nothnig short of pure thrills and excitement when it comes to entertainment. The indoor theme park is awesome . All the shop lots is very classic, or i should say standard. About 6pm, i went GSC and waiting to go in. This is my first time to experience IMAX. When i go in, i felt so exited and happy. Its so huge and marvelous. Until the movie start, i am so disappointing . I thought the movies is about 3x times bigger then the normal screen. But the movie just show on the middle part of the screen. Yes, the screen is big , but the movie is so small when the movie start. After that only i know the 1 i watched is not the IMAX version.

Technology as Experience

After i read the article "Technology as Experience" by John McCarthy and Peter Wright,i know that we don't just use technology , we live with it. Actually the article is not easy to understand. I understand it after i read it for few times.We always understand certain things or certain object(games,movies,etc) after we experienced it. We could not know the what happen or what feeling we can get if we din't try it out. What is technology as experience? For my understanding, technology as experience means that we consume or we get experience through technology.We can understand or receive it more easily because we experienced it before.For example window 7 by microsoft. At first i thought its just a rubbish window until i tried it ,i will never regret to change my computer to window 7. Window 7 is really a good window for me. Before i used it, even window7 is a new technology by microsoft, but i don't even care about it because i din try it before and i not really trust that window. Technology as experience is a very interesting topic . Even technology is very important, but our own experience also very important.
