| As you might of guessed by now, my hobby is collecting and restoring full size video games. By video games, I am NOT speaking of the kind that connect to your TV (like an Atari 2600). I am speaking of the large refrigerator size games that you see in a bar and drop a quarter in to play, like Space Invaders and Pac-Man. It's a pretty crazy hobby and needless to say takes up a lot of space. |
HOMEWORK FOR WEEK #4, Part 2
Think about how you feel when you encounter sound on a web site and answer the following questions:
Do you enjoy it?
Answer: At first I do, but then if I ever use or see that web page again, I tend to get annoyed by it.
Does it get irritating after awhile?
Answer: Absolutely
Does the type of site make a difference?
Answer: Usually not, the sound is usually welcome to me only the first time I ever use the site, and then I'd rather it not be there.
