Burkitt text

This conclusion to the book was very interesting to me. It really made things more clear in what it means to yourself with being a social person. It really showed me how your communication with others really reflects on what kind of person you are and will become. Social selves really opened my eyes to getting to know who I am as an individual. It really makes me want to work on my communication skills and the type of interactions i choose to engage myself in. I believe that the more that you know yourself and can be more comfortable with yourself that the happier you will end up being. At times throughout this book i was really confused and didnt understand some of the content but for the most part i really understand and can vibe with the ideologies within it. I really want to thank you Carol Perz for making this the course book and take the time to say i really have enjoyed your class all the way up to this point. You Rock!

Discourse of Attention

This article was a great article. It is interesting to hear the way TV makes us think differently, well have less of an attention span. I totally agree with that though because it is like hearing a book be read. There is a huge difference between listening to someone read you a book and actually reading a book by yourself. TV allows you to tune in and out when you want to while reading keeps you engaged at all times because without reading it there is no other way of recieving the message it is trying to put forth. I am starting to wonder if it is TV that has made it somewhat hard to focus when reading for the most part. It was interesting to me the part about how ADHD is often paired with the idea of people being stupid or something of it. I always wonder if i have ADHD because whenever i read i always get off on tangents so it takes me a little longer than usual to read something. Overall i really enjoyed this article.

WWW response

This article was a very intriguing one indeed. I really like learning a little history about this whole thing that has really shook up the way our society works in the past 40 years or so. The world wide web is really a very important part within our society just from me being able to post this blog to the whole backbone of this class. All of these new social medias wouldnt be able to exist without the World Wide Web. This article really had a lot of terminology that is used throughout the internet and helped to explain how this World Wide Web really functioned. It was interesting to think how it said "technologies that prevail dont have to be the best ones, they just have to be good enough." This just amazes me because who wouldve thought that the World Wide Web back when this was written wouldve became what it is today. The world wide web to me has changed the world significantly forever. I really enjoyed reading this article and it really made me look back and realize what i was actually typing this blog on.
