Last Chance, Wrapping it All Up

     I learned so much in this class. I learned to use a lot of different Apps that allow me to create art and to share as well as attain information and ideas with the world. The World Wide Web is sort of like a playground for opportunity and I never really knew that. I was always under the impression that online Apps like website building, photo editing, and even blogs were for the tech professionals. It was cool and almost installed a bit of confidence in me when I learned that all these things were for me to use to. All these Apps are wonderful resources that, I feel, we should all feel privileged to have so readily available to us. The web allows us to connect with people, weather it be through Facebook or that we wouldn’t have had the chance to otherwise. The web allows us to gather any sort of information we want, whenever we want and I think that is truly amazing.

     One of my favorite things we’ve learned in this class, that goes along with what I’m saying, was the Ted Talk given by Kevin Kelly. He pointed out that the Internet is only 5,000 days old and that, according to his prediction of the next 5,000, Internet technology would only become a million times more advanced. It made me really think about what an exciting time this is in the world of technology. This is only the beginning. The Internet is so young and once it grows up I feel as if we will be blown away. It will be really cool to look back one day and see how far we will come although I have no idea what it will look like. Though I suppose that’s the exciting part.

      I learned that I’m not as scared and “bad” at computers like I had thought in the past. I learned that quite honestly I’ve just never token the time to learn and discover. I was a facebook girl and occasionally watched some Netflix but now I want to make videos, edit photos, and keep discovering what else the web has to offer. I’m most exciting about re-creating my blog. It’s really cool because now I know how it all works and I can actually have the confidence to go ahead and do it! I want it sort of be like a diary where I can share my experiences with people. I want to share with people in hopes that they share back with me or just read it and maybe connect in some sort of way. The possibilities are endless when it come to the web!
