This class has given me the outlet to embrace and showcase my inner-nerd. I love all of the advancements in technology and can't wait to play with the latest and greatest gadgets or software.

Like others have mentioned, I am seeing my technology use in a completely different light. This semester, I've started to analyze my own use of my cell phone, facebook, blogs, and SecondLife and have found myself pondering that identity question. "What is this person trying to tell me?" I find the need to ask, "How is this person using this technology to better convey their authentic self?" I think these questions will haunt my thoughts forever. I'm okay with that. I really enjoyed playing with the idea of identity and multiple identities online and through new technologies. I'd never thought about how different I am with the various people I call on my cell phone, or how the fact that it's a mobile phone affects the way I use it. Also, I've decided Facebook is like a billboard that advertises YOU. How creepy is that? And why am I still on it?

The past semester has been a welcomed forum and brainstorm for finalizing my comp topic. So thanks, you guys! Our class discussions were enjoyable, informative, and creative. I'm continuously amazed by the brilliant women at SMC!

That being said, this class has given me the blogging bug. I've started my own blog as a creative outlet and have been posting absurd, self-deprecating short essays. If you'd like to take a look, I'd love comments and feedback. It's a little crass, so please don't let my use of four-letter words harm my grade!
Bringing it back to academia... However, in beginning this blogging endeavor, I've discovered a very active and addictive "20-something" blogging community. Everyone is so supportive and encouraging. Knowing people read and enjoy what I write has me hooked!
