I have learned far more than I've expected, not that i didn't expect to learn something from this class...but i thought that i had a grip or at least a finger hold on the concept of virtual world or cyberspace or even avatars within online gaming. But to my surprise, i was off. It is true that to become a better writer you must read, read, and read. So the readings offered in this course were great. I say great, because i might not have enjoyed them fully, but I've walked away from them with a farther, more sophisticated view on the discussions related to today's technological views and futuristic goals. It just blows my mind to see where we are at and where we are headed in the world of technology. The readings have created images and questions in my mind, such as will virtual reality be real one day? will we be able to pass into cyberspace? will cyberspace be self sustaining fully? How much more will we look for technology as help in our future and in our own lives?
This class has fully opened my mind and my views to what the world of technology has become and is headed toward. Thanks professor Reid for doing a good job on choosing the great readings...you selected well.
