Webcam

My parents have decided, that after having the same laptop for a good 4 years, and the fact that I could try get a turtle to load an internet page faster then it, to get a new computer. Boy, did they get a brand new one!! I don't even know what size screen it is, I've never been one to care for dimensions and all that jazz, all I know is that it is pretty, has a bigger memory space for pictures and music, and runs a whole lot faster, meaning I can finally try and beat my little brother's top score on Bubble spinner.

Built in to this screen, for the first time in our home family life, it has a web cam. I've never been one for using a web cam for making videos or using it for Skype or anything like that, to be honest, when we used to have one that plugged in, I had to turn it around because i thought people could see me. However. I recently found a button on Facebook when in the library trying to avoid doing my dissertation which showed me that the computer I was on had a web cam, and that if I wanted to take a picture, I could also change the picture. It had the usual, black and white, faded etc, But for the first time ever, it had a 'pinch' button, and a 'fisheye' button which obviously, pinched your face in making your head look small, or fisheye making your head look big. I had great fun in the library doing this and then completely forgot about this function.



I have arrived home for a few days, and when my brother was reminding me that it had a camera, it all came back to me, and I had to show him how much fun it was. I've literally, not laughed so hard since forever. Who'd have thought, changing the size of your head could be so funny. Plus, I always like it when something makes my brother and I giggle, we have a pretty similar sense of humour when it comes to immature things such as this. Here's a few photo's to hopefully get across the amusement we found.








Something to think about... Whoever was the first person to discover such functions must have literally pissed their pants.
