Hello all. I came to a realization this week. I realized that I have unconsciously made a conscious effort since signing up for this class to learn everything I can about the different technologies I hear about through general conversations.
I realize to most people what I have learned is probably old school, but, to someone who is 38, has no children and does not own a television, I believe that I have come a long way. Now don’t get me wrong, I do watch movies on my computer and have become a real You Tube junky over the past few months. I enjoy watching old MTV videos, old commercials, and television shows from my generation. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed watching old Carol Burnette shows over the weekend. You Tube has definitely not left me lacking for continuous entertainment. If you don’t believe me, check out this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvsEx_SRJpU Have we women come a long way in just 40 years?
I have made a conscious effort to learn about the technologies because I do want to be a better educated person and understand what people are talking about. I came across a Wired magazine lying around the library where I work last September. I looked through it and found that it held some interest to me. Therefore, I made a decision to regularly check the magazine out online. I also looked more into this Guitar Hero that seems so popular. Wow, have you seen the website? I guess you all probably have. These communities truly amaze me. Like I mentioned in my first blog, when you are as private as I am, web communities truly amaze you.
Well, I have gone well-past my required word count. I will save more for the next blog.

It's good that you are willing to learn about new technologies. Taking a class like this can stretch you and be of more value in the future compared to a class with material you already know. My problem is keeping up with everything. I don't see how people know about all the new tools and such that come out, unless they spend hours everyday reading blogs.
I agree about struggling to keep up with new technologies. I subscribe to Wired paper and online versions but find the paper keeps piling up and I don't look at the online version very often. Too much to read!
