Media 2.0

Media 2.0...hmmm interesting title right? That was one of my first thoughts when I enrolled in this course. Also, the previous semester, as I was standing in the hall waiting for my course to start, I listened in on one of Dr. Markman's classes. It was about the internet and media. I would not consider myself an "internet/media savvy" person, but I find myself using the internet more and more everyday for everything! I use it to find new music, new and interesting news, as a means of communication, to shop, find recipes and just about anything else. I think it is pretty cool that I can go online and find old music videos or television programs from my childhood. At the same time, it amazes me to think of how all of this works and how it makes the world so much smaller.I expect to gain a lot of insight from this course and see just how long "the long tail" really is.
