Week 1 - Lecture Response

Yesterdays lecture was... well...to be frank, like a ball bouncing around a room, in a strange way. I can't stand lecturers that stand up the front and ramble on from the textbook in a monotone voice, blatantly stating their unhappiness with the lecture. I can't manage to keep my eyes open. However, yesterdays lecture wasn't like that (thank god!) It was fun, but hard to follow. There are a lot of thoughts going on at once and while that is awesome, it shows i have lectures that care... (at least a little bit) about the content. :) I'm pretty sure I'll get used to the way things are done.

Now to the lecture content.

New technology Vs. Old Technology

I definitely agree that a line can be drawn between analog and digital, in terms of modernity. It seems that no way of communication is ever really removed completely. Communication is just added to, maybe with a great new ability or one that's not so good. For example, the 3g network and phone abilities are fantastic, yet many argue the positive social outcomes of Social Networking sites. Communication just seems to develop. I guess I see YouTube, the posting of videos into the public sphere, as the modern day equivalent to the ancient form of cave drawings. :)
