Oh nuts I can't think of a good title this time...

A history of computers and the internet you say? Sure, why not, I've got an extra seven hours with nothing better to do. Or there's This. (Please note the title of the page, and the length of it and you'll understand my reluctance)

A quick google search for the acronym ECU reveals that there are a lot of things it could stand for... Examples include Electronic Control Unit which is in fact part of a car engine, or European Currency Unit (that should be self-explanatory). None of these, however, seem likely to be the term I am looking for. That being said, I went deeper into the internets and found a lovely little site that lists a wide variety of acronyms (aptly named all-acronyms.com) and tried to find the most likely candidate for our little endeavour. I came up with, taking into account this is an internet-associated class, External Cache Unit. Another google search reveals that an ECU is essentially used to store temporary data, usually when browsing the internet, so that the computer is not bogged down with all the data streaming into it. They tend to be emptied regularly or as needed so as to keep things running smoothly.

Sticking with my new friend all-acronyms.com, I now go searching for the meaning behind the acronym WS and lo and behold, the very first term I am presented with is Web Services. Gee, I think I might be onto something. Web Services are basically anything that is a service provided on the world wide web, like Amazon.com where you can purchase books, music and movies all without leaving your desk (you lazy bastard) or dating websites which connect the lonely with people pretending to be other people.

And finally acronym MS gets its turn which gives me a range of choices and from them I choose Memory Stick, which is a handy little device used for storing data on a small and portable hard drive.

...All that being said, I google search the clue-phrase we were given "Language of the Screen" along with all three acronyms and am given the most obvious of results, they are all kinds of shots used in television and cinema filming. I am a failure of a film student. (I'll excuse this by saying I'm actually focused on scriptwriting, not the filming itself...because that's okay, right?)

So now some examples of said shots:

Extreme Close Up

Wide Shot

Medium Shot

Just goes to show it's all according to your frame of reference eh? (OH! See what I did there??)
