Vincent Luscombe's Wiki

Welcome to my wiki. My name is Vincent and most of my time outside of uni is spent connected to the internet. I love to play water polo, I've been playing it for an extremely long time now.

The Digital Generation

One of my favourite subjects in High School was ITGS; Information Technologies in a Global Society. The premise was to increase our awareness of social and ethical implications of various technologies, and write lots and lots of words about things. A recurring theme of my two years in that class was how we are all...

Digital Citizens

...and what are our responsibilities of being one. Today a Japanese woman approached me seeking help with English. Though this was not a tell-er-what-she-wants-and-dismiss-her situation, she gave me a small A5 piece of paper with her name, e-mail and a large heading, I NEED YOUR HELP. Turns out she's a teacher in Japan, and while teaching English often gets confused over small grammatical intricacies. The idea is I e-mail her and we will then have correspondence where, since English is my native language, I will help to resolve her questions. She gave me an example question of the sort of things she asks, "I was surprised with/at the news" where the hiccup was at the use of with instead of at.

But what's the point? Well, if you're still reading which I find difficult to believe, the point is this is that this is highlighting the advantages of being a digital citizen in a digital age. If she'd asked me to maintain correspondence via snail mail, well I would've told her to bugger off (exaggeration). Seeing as her questions are fairly easy, will take me a maximum of 1h every year, and I have the INTERNET to help me, I probably will help her.

When am I not connected to the internet?

An odd question, though seeing as I spend much of my time

• Playing tf2
• Playing LoL
• Being a sucker and using Facebook
• Doing wiki markup
• Making lists online

there aren't that many moments when I'm NOT connected.

If one was to ask me which was better between tf2 and LoL, tf2'd definitely take the cake. Tf2 is an artistic + twitch first-person shooter, whilst LoL is referred to as a MOBA, Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. For more information on video game genres see This Page
