This by far has been my best class. I enjoy talking about identity on the internet and how women and men can be identified through their webspeak. Women use softer words when they text and men are more aggressive when webspeaking. A teenager on the other hand; has takes webspeak to another level. It’s been proven that teenager’s texts on cell phone 90% of the time. When it comes to social networks (SNS) I believe adults are mostly on these sites but it really hard to tell with all the fake identity going on. SNS can be use for expressing oneself. People use SNS to be who they really want to be or to meet other people. Honestly people use SNS for varies reasons. I learned a lot in this Internet Communication class that I can take with me forever. I especially enjoy the video chats it really was a new experience. I’ve taken many online courses but never had to chat in any of them so that was really neat. Remember we are living in a time where a face-to-face environment can be just like an environment online. The question is which one do you prefer? I enjoy everyoneJ

I agree that the future of communication lies in text and not voice... Face to face business, at least smaller business not massive million dollar deals, will so be majority internet business... if it's not already...
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed fun. I wish more would have been able to use video. It was fun chatting, but using video would have been more fun.
ReplyDeleteYes Treonna, I too was enlighten by the percentage of male and female that uses SNS. I also, learned that men can be determined by the word or language usage. I never thought about that before, but did learn that it was a very interesting point.
ReplyDeleteI liked hearing about how everyone uses SNS and how much we all rely on the internet. I loved the chats...I had to miss that last one but I have never done a chat before so I thought that was interesting. :)
ReplyDeleteThe texting thing still shocks me more and more everyday, then I realize how much I myself am texting day in and day out....what is with that?
