Besides these two genres, there are other very important genres too. RTS or real time strategy games usually let you see the world from an above camera sort of view to control your teams or your civilization and the sort to fight and defend against your enemy. These games do very well especially amongst the relatively intellectual and patient sort of people. The biggest hit in this genre has been Age of Empires by Microsoft.

Computer for life

What is a computer? Since when do we know computers? A computer is basically a device which simplifies our tasks at hand and does computing or processing which is either beyond human control or too cumbersome to do. Computers have been in use for several decades now with the first one actually just being a calculator. Today the definition of the word computer has really changed with it becoming a tool for entertainment, communication and an essential necessity for various aspects of life.

Today computers are available in various forms and across different budgets. Computers, laptops, palm tops, advanced cell phone: all these are forms of computers. Then Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh, such majors have entered the market that there is something for everyone, something he wants and not merely something he is in need of. From a sub 500$ computer to a millions of dollar super PC, everything is available now, and available rather easily.

Computers have become a part of our life, an essence of life. We can’t live without email, be it for communication or for browsing over the internet or just paying our bills online, life would be at a standstill had there been no internet. The computer offers a very useless service by the name of internet and it is really productive for people too. We can join online forms and participate our minds out. Students can nowadays earn big money with websites where work is outsourced or enjoy add revenue from biggies like Google Adsense. The computers have changed the way the world works, the way we live, who we are and what we want to do in life. Computers have indeed revolutionized life.

Computers also provide games, really hi fi and hardcore ones at that with often hefty system requirements which need special computer parts for best operation. So kids and even adults now are more and more often found addicted to computer games and can’t afford to miss even a single computer part upgrade. This is the impact computers have on masses. Now I am sure nothing before in human history has even had this kind of an impact, I am sure. Don’t you think so?

Computers are the essence of life, I repeat. There would be no life had computers been removed from the earth. Besides, computers play a major role in scientific work and research. They act as super computers which extra fast computing and calculation speed which has special applications in mathematics and astronomy as well. Even big corporate need computers for data storage and processing lest their work never proceed. Computers are no doubt in demand all over the world and by each and every one. They can off course do things which no human can.

Let us discuss a few stories today.

Corbin Bleu

STORY 1
There were four of us at the table. It was a rainy day in Brooklyn and the restaurant we were eating at was nearly empty. Suddenly, there was a loud bang as somebody stumbled through the door. “hey look you guys, it's Corbin Bleu!” Quickly we jumped up and nearly knocked over the waiter that was carrying over our key lime pies. Corbin started to run to escape us, probably thinking we were lunatic fans. “Catch that kid,”shouted Sara, “wait,” interrupted James, “he dropped his Bleuman ring!” By this time Corbin Bleu had run back outside. We ran through the rain to catch up, as we did Corbin said “what do you want? All I wanted was a private lunch on my own!” In a shy voice I said “you dropped your ring.” “Oh, thank you very much,” he said. “How about an autograph? Who shall I make it out to?” I looked at the floor and thought to myself for a moment, “One to me, my name is Beth, one to my friends Sara, James and Nadine, one to my mom Susan, one to my sisters Amy and Kathryn, one to my...oh, wait...he's gone.

STORY 2
It was late on the thirteenth of August, a few friends and I had chosen to go and see the High School Musical stage tour starring Corbin Bleu, a talented young actor from Brooklyn who shot to fame in the High School Musical DVD movie. My friends and I were standing right at the front, so close to the performers that we could see Corbin's famed Bleuman ring. The ensemble played all of the favorite tunes from the movie including 'we're breaking free,' and a new song called 'Take your key lime pie, and eat it.' This may have been the best song they have ever played, it is always fun when well known stars try out new material.

The concert was nearing the end, but we didn't want it to finish, it was the best concert we had ever been to! We finally faced facts that we had to leave and started to walk away from the stage. I heard an amplified voice shout “catch that kid!” It was Corbin Bleu, he had dropped his Bleuman ring and one of the audience members had run away with it. The girl that stole it was running towards me, so I tackled her and picked up the ring when she dropped it. I took it back to the stage and gave it to Corbin. He was so pleased to get it back that he gave us a free ticket each to the next night's performance. So it didn't have to end after all.

STORY 3
Hi, my name is Corbin Bleu Reivers. I was born in Brooklyn on the twenty first of February 1989. as a kid I studied ballet and jazz dance for several years before graduating from the Los Angeles County High School for Performing Arts. I was offered a place at Stanford University but because of a very busy schedule, I had to decline.

At the start of my career I was doing a modeling job for Target, Toys 'R' Us and Tommy Hilfiger. In the mid ninetees my family moved to Los Angeles. Back in L.A. I gained a role in the T.V series High Incident and a guest starring role in an episode of E.R. During this time I did a few small roles in films such as Soldier, Family Tree, Mystery Men and Galaxy Quest before getting myself a lead role in the hit movie Catch That Kid. Following this film I started acting in the drama series Flight 29 Down.

It was not two years after this that I starred in High School Musical, followed by Jump In! Then High School Musical two and three. I have also released my own solo album called Another Side which has sold 105,000 copies worldwide.

This is my life so far, currently I am touring with the other guys from High School Musical and working on my next album entitled Key Lime Pie, and my personalized jewelry line comes out this fall starting with my Bleuman ring.


STORY 4
It was a very sunny day in the campsite. We were staying in Iowa, on holiday from Brooklyn. There was me, Jane, my friend Corbin Bleu, and some of his friends from the cast of High School Musical. I couldn't believe it, I had never been on holiday with celebrities. Corbin had let me wear his Bleuman ring which was so cool and I was so excited that I nearly threw up my key lime pie I had eaten earlier.

The night drew on and one of the guys had brought along a guitar, so we sat around a warm fire and sang some of my favorites from High School Musical. After we sang some songs we stayed around the fire and toasted marshmallows. Before we all went to sleep we took the DVD player I had taken with me and watched my favorite movie, Catch that kid.

The next morning I felt like I had never slept better than that night. I thought to myself, I had known Corbin for a long time and always liked him, from the second I met him, but never had the guts to say anything. He came towards me as we were getting ready to go home and said “I had fun this week, would you like to go out sometime?” The perfect end to the perfect holiday.
