In the age of 13, it was the kick-start for him to see insight the computer itself.

Gates and Allen, in school time, they had invaded the connection to the computer company which provided their school computer equipments. Unfortunately, their works had been discovered and the two of them had received the punishment. However, the company that had invaded admitted that those boys got the talent in computer field. As consequence, the company gave them permission to access the computer without paying a single cent. But in one condition, they had to a computer tester in connection to main computer, by then they discovered bugs inside it.

I want a Sony (2006年4月18日）
In March 1960, Sony's Komatsu Kazutoyo, with 2 of his staff, opened an office in Zurich , Switzerland for sell radio transistor in Europe . They bring a hope that Sony's product as Japanese product will be familiar in Europe people.
Nevertheless, in reality it's really hard. In Europe 's countries, there's was a lot of radio transistor which made from German, were sold in home appliance shop. As for Japan , after loose in the World War II, the reconstruction of country was the plan to be in the same level with Germany in technology, shockingly high. Komatsu and his staffs introduced and give them to see their product to home appliance shop people. Event they explain that this was the world's smallest radio, the shop people didn't ask anything. In these days, Europe 's image of product was “cheap price means low in quality”. Sometime, the shop stuff surprised that Japan also seemed to produce radio and then stop the conversation without any feeling to look at it first.
Komatsu said to his staffs, “selling the radio in the Europe is might like selling ice in north-pole, but selling the radio is our work.” He said again, “maybe, even for ice, there're delicious ice and not delicious ice. If ‘this' is the delicious ice in the word, it must can be sell even in north-pole.”
After that, Komatsu had an interesting proposal to his staffs. In the Europe there are a coffee house in each town, even there are just small town. When ever they enter the cafe, they ask like this, “I want a Sony, please.” The waitress showed that she didn't know on his face and asked back, “Sony, what it's?” But, one day, each of people in Europe will know Sony as the radio's brand when the Sony's radios were sell. If they do so, the waitress might answer like this, “mister, here is cafe. Sony is a radio. Please go to home appliance shop.” From that time they strive for it.
From that time, they put the radio transistor in the pocket and run around the Europe . Soon, one of the staff was too weak, and go back to Japan even he was not willingly to do so. Komatsu, without feeling giving up, with his only staff, give an explanation about the amazingly radio transistor around the Europe .
In the year 1961, in Germany , step by step they were began to take contract of radio selling. Before the second time Christmas in Europe, Komatsu group were published a full size page commercial on Germany 's no 1 newspaper. In the prime market of Germany , it was placed a picture of Sony's shop and the picture of manager. In fact, “please, this is a Sony radio, your Christmas present” was also written. That was very successful advertisement. The report of “sold out” from radio stores were sent into Komatsu's office, one after another.
For Europe people, Christmas is the most important event. Everyone looking for giving a present for their important person and might take a few days. For that important present, Japanese radio had been chosen.
Soon, Komatsu went again to previous visited cafe, and asked the same order. “I want a Sony.” For this time the waitress, with surprised face said, “wasn't Sony is a radio.”
In the short time Komatsu couldn't believe those words. Even though, Komatsu was waiting for those words in 2 years' time after he came to Europe .
Introductionイントロダクション (2006年4月8日）
Hello everyone! Welcome to this webjournal site. It has been conducted by me, a student who got enthutiasm to show off the ideas of being a student. Don't get me wrong it just to show up what I know, so tell me if what I do not know. In the simple words, we will share information. In fact, precious information.
The thing is, why do I create this website. Everyone who uses the internet can create, but however, I see that people like to the easier choice such BlogSpot, Friendster or MySpace to create their own webpages. However, I feel that was too simple to make off. Lets try something universal which you can control the design, layout or what so ever. But this may cause of 'sekadar batuk di tangga' or create it for granted and then if you got no idea to think off you will leave it after that. I hope it will not happens. I take it as my hobby.
As this is my first editorial, I'm thinking about how to manage this, after I type a long, long of posting. The question is, how to create the system like BlogSpot. You know, it is very systematically arranging the postings. I really have it, a BlogSpot. And what you see now is the transition from that blogsite to here. One more thing, I know to remove the tripod.com banner in this page. That's why you can't see it. Although, this is a simple webjournal yet.
In the year to come, this webjournal will couloured with various kind of language, English of course, Malay sometimes, Indonesia probability, Chinese for the characters, and last but not lease the Japanese language. I am learning Japanese language, and frequently used the knowledge for my learning lectures. So half of my blood now in Japanese. So wait to be immersed in the language. It's really interesting.
Before that let's learn the basic character in Japanese. It consists of hiragana, katakana and kanji (漢字）. Hiraganas and katakanas will took about 1 week to remember and kanji took 1 year to remember about 500 chararters. Itsn't simple? I think anyone can do it, if there is a determination and of course who have those years and weeks. For those who could survive with it, lets applause them. Thanks.
On that point, languages are the crucial things to make communication among people happens. And also spreading information happens. But how to communicate with computer, which can helps us to spread the information? The answer for the question is simple, use the computer language. Does it make a sense of you?
今からちょっと日本語で話そうか。では、自己紹介します。マレーシア人のヒジャゼィと申します。ウニセルで日本語といろんなことを一生懸命に勉強しています。いろんなことで例えば、日本語で物理や化学や数学や物づくりや情報などを学びます。これはJapanese Associate Degreeと言うプログラムです。また、ＪＡＤも呼ばれます。ＪＡＤにはマレーシアで３年間に日本で２年間に勉強します。また後で日本語で書いてあります。
Got something to speak out? That's why this webjournal has the guest book. Before I end my speech, I've got downloadable file here. It was the kanji character reader for Ms Windows's computer. It looks like this and it called YomiYomi (ReadRead). To download click image below! (341KB)
Thanks for spending a little time to discover something new in your life. Hopefully enjoying you in the next journal! |
