Well, I've certainly enjoyed the class. Most of my career I've been intimately involved with the Internet in one or another and so have been able to see it "grow up", as it were. Especially the web. Web sites have grown from static pages needing constant manual updating to constantly changing web pages that interact with you on an individual basis. For a tech person, it's been kind of exciting to see it happen and be a part of it.
Seeing the way CMC has become such a large part of a lot of people's way of life is just that much more of a testament of the power of the Internet and the communications abilities it provides, whether it be email, bbs, muds, chat, texting, website forums or video...it's amazing to see it all happening. Being able to keep in touch with anyone who has a internet connection has done wonders for society, I believe, and being able to express yourself to hundreds and thousands and millions of people like it has in the Middle East the all the uprisings and people blogging about it certainly reinforces how much the world has taken to and relies upon the internet and the ability to communication with others, those we know and those we don't. I can't wait to see what the next ten years brings.
True, CMC has become very poplar among people today. It has broaden the horizon of communication and people are loving the easy acccess in the comfort of their homes.
ReplyDeleteI agree CMC has done wonders for our society. It certaintly has brought up all different types of forums for people to give their thoughts and support.
ReplyDeleteAs is for your career, it is for many. I cannot tell you all the things I see booming because of the internet. I think there are more websites than there are people in the worlds population! That would be an interesting topic to research...
