Well I have to say the blog scares me a little, but we will give it a try.
First I have a disconcerting feeling that the internet is trying to take over my life. For example; currently every night since the internet has been installed in the flat we have sat in the living room, laptops on knees and ”surfed” the web. Now while this in itself is not necessarily a bad thing, the fact that we are talking to each other through chat rooms and facebook is a bit more worrying. It can’t be denied that the internet does have its advantages but when it begins to interfere with human contact and communication this can start to cause concern. I am also starting to wonder if the internet is addictive, I haven’t heard about this addiction yet but I’m certain now that it exists. Maybe an I.A.A (Internet Addicts Anonymous) help group should be started. Everything in my life seems now to revolve around the internet. How does something go from relatively unknow to integral to almost all things?I am really looking forward to my lecture tommorow, that may have something to do with the fact that I don’t want to fall asleep in it. I enjoyed last week’s and having to think as the lecturer was talking to us rather than at us, about things that can much too easily flow straight over your head or out it. When lots of information is just said out loud for an hour or more even with coherent notes how often do you remember it properly? Also the Starburst might have helped, getting people up and involved also makes it a lot more interesting.
