Reaction blog to ch13,14,15 and twitter exercise. I liked what I learned in these chapters. It was something I could understand for once! Well most of it anyway. Reading about all the privacy rights were eye opening. I think that is one reason I am so weird about putting any information on line about myself. I always think that someone could get it without my consent. I know I am always getting emails that I didn't sign up for so it is not so far fetched to me for people toget my personal info. The chapter on politics and cyberspace was interesting. The idea that regular people can express their opinion about politics is great. Not having to conform to the mass media is a way to communicate and not have to argue face to face with anyone about your opinion. The futuristic way that the internet describes very different scenarios. I dont know if I could ever get on board with the way that technology is going. Talking about different tribes and being seperated is kinda scary to me. But on the other hand the twitter exersice we did in class was not that scary. I enjoyed getting on and finding different classmates. It is fun to see what everyone is doing and to see how differnt everyone is. I enjoyed it alot and I am still twittering with my classmates.
