Bye Bye journ121

We've been assined to write a commentary on the Journ121 experience and seeing as thaT subject was the very reason why this blog came to be,i guess I am obliged to give a commentary:

Journ 121 enriched my views of the internet and has made me more aware of it as an able tool in broadcasting and media. I have been enlightened to the fact that there may come a day when it will become the ONLY media tool, meaning, my internet habits mustn't be curbed, but on the contrary, must be encouraged. Hehehe.

I only regret that we've only discussed Blogs when we could have discussed forums and other internet outlets. But I guess this is what limited time gives you.

It was fun to discover that blogs have become more than what they were first introduced to me as - virtual diaries. But as one has said before, the best inventions are those which we find more use for than what was originally intended for them. Blogs have become more sophisticated, more organized, and a lot more public T_T. What saves my private blog from being too mainstream is the fact that its template is not very pleasing to the eye because it is dark and has almost no eye candy. Only the words are important. I wouldnt have learned how important webpage appearance is if it was not for Journ 121.

In conclusion, I think Journ 121 should be made compulsory to all Mass Comm students. The internet is a phenomena which isn't going to stop at friendster. It's become a household name and soon it's going to be hard to live without. New technologies are being developed that may make the internet a vital tool in everyday life. I believe it is imporant for everyone to have a proper education to the workings of the internet. World peace. Lol.
