as the semester closes,.

I thought I would do a reflection blog on this semester in my atec 2321 class. Rushkoff was right about a lot of things. Identity, Choice, Time, etc. It's amazing how much media effects our lives. Both in positive and negative ways. This semester I realized how I myself depend on my laptop, cellphone, and the internet. There was one day in March when there was no internet for an entire day and taking care of tasks such as doing homework online or checking my email or going on facebook and online shopping. When i couldnt reach someone by text message or call I would turn to facebook and that option was not available. It is a vital tool in communication, but throughout the course we had discussed how computers and phones have clouded our ability to have more face to face coversations and interactions. This class has helped me see how media has progressed throughout the years and I am definitely more knowledgeable.
