Week 1; Tutorial 10-12

...How about I start things off by telling you all a little something about me?

My name is Keryn, fresh out of highschool - and therefore a first year at university.
I'm doing a Bachelor of Journalism hoping to major in the Popular Culture side of things.
Yes..that's right: lifestyle magazines and such..I think it's just as important as politics etc because popular culture has just as much effect on the world when you think about it.

That's why I'm so interested in this subject - New Communication Technologies. With society rapidly changing to adapt to new technologies, I think it's important to understand how it all works. Youtube is the new television, Blogs are the new diaries, and MySpace is the new way to do...well, almost everything. Whether you are for it, or against it, technology is gradually taking over every aspect of our lives.

So, my following blogs will cover my perceptions of this subject - ranging from relevant lecture notes and websites, to things I find interesting about the course...and I'll probably rant a little about the things I don't find so interesting. (Hopefully, there won't be a lot of that). For now, I'll leave you with my thoughts on it so far - a) the air conditioning in this room is quite nice, and b) I think it's pretty much awesome that we are getting assessed for writing a blog :)
Yes - as you can tell my thoughts are really deep at this point in time.
