What have I've learned in this class??????
Oh boy, the joy of learning.... what have I learned in this class. I found out that there is a lot going on the internet then i know....
side note: did you know that the father of PR is the nephew of Sigmund Freud.... okay that has nothing to do with internet but i think that a lot of PR tech. are really the driving force of today's internet. I mean Myspace is really not all that great, but if you tell people that every one else is doing it then it gets them at the gut level and they need a myspace page and then they tell everyone else how cool he is and blah blah blah etc. Next thing you know he is on the cover of time mag. for the most witty blogger on the net.
I have always considered myself pretty internet savy but when i enter this class I relieved I have missed a lot. Some for good, I mean If I have one more person tell me they are depressed because so and so did become their friend on friendster or myspace I going to go crazy. But things like Flickr. and Wiki (which I need to look up more) and the internet archive these are great useful things..... Also I getting prettty gitty about Google Movie theatre (at least that is what i am callign it) that is going to change Hollywood for the good or bad. To be able to upload a whole movie and let people pay for it or to do it for free is amazing to me..... THis is going to drive the bigwigs crazy and might lower the prices in theatre. I would rather watch a movie in a theatre over my computer screen but if it could lower the price and cause some of the more stupid shit out, Then i am all for it.
I am also very big on Pay Pals even though the scare of theif is high right now.... I think for the worse we will become more like numbers and less unquie but there is give and take..... As we can talk and share more over the computer we become less relient on touch and closeness Or we can come to cherish those times more.....
So what Have i learned in class, the internet is just beginning to do what it can do...... I both love and hate it, but most times love over comes all....
thanks for a fun class.
