1. Sound is a big part of our life. Name a time when you turned everything off such as the tv, radio, computer etc. and actually listened to what else is around you. Did you notice a big difference?

I've been going fishing every year up in the North Woods for a long time, just sitting out in the middle of the lake, listening to the sounds of nature. It's quite interesting, and when you leave all your electronics elsewhere it's a completely different experience.

2. Have you ever wondered how sound is made? What do u think are the different steps or processes put into making particular sounds in a movie, a song or television show?

Actually, I took an ECE course where we started making our own sounds via electrical signals. That was really cool. But, other than that, I think I'm fairly fail at making sounds or figuring out music, I have no ear for music nor do I particularly

3. Have you ever put captioning on when watching a movie or television? Do you find yourself watching the words more or listening to people talk? Why do you think this happens?

I actually do enjoy captioning movies and sometimes catching the difference between what is said and what is written. I tend to read the words more than actually watch the screen, and do think that's kind of a problem because I tend to miss all the nuances of everything that was visual on the TV and all that jazz. But overall... it makes for some lines that you couldn't understand before to be much better and clearer.
