"Online"
Has anyone heard the song "Online" by Brad Paisley? Well, here's the video... it's actually about what we are learning in class! Linda, I thought you might get a kick out of this...
Victoria, it's funny you brought up a song, because I was just thinking about the following song by Jimmy Buffett called "Everybody's On the Phone" and how it relates to this class!
Chorus: Everybody's on the phone So connected and all alone From the pizza boy to socialite We all salute the satellite
Won't you text me with your master plan You're loud and clear but I don't understand I'm a digital explorer in analog roam And everybody's on the phone

Chorus:
Everybody's on the phone
So connected and all alone
From the pizza boy to socialite
We all salute the satellite
Won't you text me with your master plan
You're loud and clear but I don't understand
I'm a digital explorer in analog roam
And everybody's on the phone
I love the video... The point seems to be that real world connection is much more fun! Thanks for posting the video
