That's news to me 'coz all it is these days is twitter, myspace and facebook--who needs to read about friends and randoms who are apparently "friends" spilling their guts about how much life sucks and how much of a scrag so and so is when all you have to do now is check a status and you can read it in 150 characters or less?
Sure, the internet's a great place to stalk a dude, but even then people don't want to read all the time. :)
Anyway, as part of assessment, this lovely little blog right here has been created to inform everyone who can be bothered to read this (I really am surprised you made it this far) about all the happenings taking place in the lectures and tutes of 1501HUM, and yeah, enjoy?
So to get us all started, this weeks lecture (yay!), was basically just going over the course outline and explaining which forms of communication are old and which are new and why that is and stuff. Pretty simple right?
Apparently (though this doesn't surprise me all that much) letters, phonecalls and tvs have been booted to replace the more awesome (oh, what would I do without you?) broadband internet and all the cute, wonderful things (myspace, facebook, IM and twitter) that come with it...not that I'm complaining. Really.
And so because everybody is all "social networking, yay!" we're actually becoming a lot less social and just that more stupid as sooner rather than later a "be right back" will be replaced with a "BRB" and we'll all lose the ability to spell.
But yeah, given my time is almost off I'm gonna cut my mini-rant off here, I'm hungry and I want some pretzels.
