Goodbye New Comm Tech Blog

Well it is an end of an era, goodbye to a chapter, so long and farewell!!

As I write my final entry I look back on the journey that has been my New Communications Technology Blog - and what a journey it has been.

To be totally and completely honest, the only reason I enrolled in New Comm Tech was because I didn't have a choice. For a Bachelor of Communication it was a pre-requisite. To be even more honest, if I didn't HAVE to choose it, I probably wouldn't have.

Now, this isn't saying I didn't like the course or I didn't find it beneficial, I am really just not that interested in technology. However, I did learn a great deal of useful information and I now look a aspects of technology and the Internet in a different light, for example Facebook.

The social networking world is becoming bigger and bigger as the years go on, and when I (eventually) finish university, I suspect I will need a a vast understanding of the Social Media world, which I now have.

The only element of the course which I honestly really didn't like was the concept of Culture Jamming. I do not think that we should be encouraged to write fabricated information. I think, being a journalism major, it totally goes against the ethics that I learn in my other classes. I understand why we are made aware of it, however I do not think we should HAVE to participate in the culture.

I would like to thank Jules and Kaya - you are both great and very helpful (and extremely patient)
