technology tranformation

In the article Marshall Mcluhan believed that technology was connected to culture. This concept is never been more true then in this day and age. With the advancement in everything from cell phones to televisions, people are able to communicate and be entertained like never before.

Having cell phone with down loadable movies we are able to entertain yourself just about anywhere. No longer do we have to set a time to watch a show or find the local theater times. We can watch movies from the palm of your hand. Allowing for endless possibilities for entertainment.

Having television that have Internet connection allows every day people to download and view endless content on the Internet, from the comfort of their couch. With that connection we are able to communicate with any persons around the world ( with out ridiculous costs and expenses.

These concepts and many others have allowed technology to change and create new and exciting cultures. With more technology coming out daily it is important that we try and not us our "rear view mirror" when utilizing these technologies.

It looked like a wonderful class to get a new persective on things. In the past I have not been real big on Blog's (not sure why). I have never taken a hybrid class before and it sounds like a great idea. So far my experience has been good it alow alot more input from student that would normally be past in a tradition class. I am looking forward to meeting everybody on Wednesday.
