Today's Internet
I think that the future will keep moving forward with new technological advances which help benefit the new generations. The Internet enhances social relations, political parties, education and much more.
I believe that The Kindle, which is a new device used to read papers/ magazines/ books will also be required in schools for the use of school text books. This would not be good for the print industry.
Also the new generation will possibly even have online classes- instead of meeting in person. Kids will spend more time online than in front of a television or instead of reading a book.
Authors will be creating more interactive graphic novels which they sell online. New ways of marketing with have go into effect to promote their books.
Kids will spend more time at Cartoon Network and Radio Disney sites.
Just like the Obama election bloggers were very involved online with connecting to the campaign. The Internet is an out lite for people to express their political views.
The Internet will continue to develop

The day the music dies?
Do I think the music industry will die down?
No, I do not. I think that musicians will have to find more ways to market themselves. And they will have to have new products besides t shirts and cds to sell, to make a profit. Allot of musicians make more money off t shirts than they do by each individual record.
It does sound better when you purchase a cd then download music- and hopefully more people will recognize this.
Musicians will have to be talented in many ways besides being a guitarist/ vocalist. They will have to know how to market and design there web sites to cater to the fans who favor them.
The music industry will not die. It will go through changes though.

LambdoMOO
My impressions were mixed feelings of the land of LamdoMOO. I thought that it was a cool experience to learn about and actually go to.
I do not think that I would go back there on my own free time. I would rather blog instead.
I did talk to people in LambdoMOO who were not my classmates- this made it interesting. We talked about coffee and concerts. I choose to discuss theses two topics- because they are topics which everyone could relate to.
Majority of people in LambdoMO (who I talked to) do not like country concerts and LOVE Starbucks, over Caribou coffee any day.
It was interesting!

Very E-xiting
It was very E-xiting to have a successful online ethnography homepage! I learned allot and am proud of my accomplishments.
While blogging on Wordpress and Graphic Design Community I learned how different people connect with each other through the internet.
I enjoyed researching both communities. It was interesting to see the different interactions between people within the community.
I learned that there are many types of communities like online communities, networking web sites, neighborhood communities, sports communities and friend communities.
Its a huge feeling of accomplishment creating your homepage for this project.
Between Wordpress and Graphic Design Community, if I were to continue connecting in one community I would continue blogging in the Graphic Design Community.
The people in this community I can relate to more than Wordpress.
It was VERY E- xting studying online communities!

YOU BETCHIA
During class today the discussion on politics and how media has impacted the presidential campaign for our President Obama.I found this very the conversation very interesting and very realistic.
I was not too into politics before the campaign and media definitely impacted my interest in staying involved in today's politics.
It grew to be tuns of fun to watch Saturday Night Live on a weekly basis and see Sarah Palin get acted out by Tina Fey. It was quite amusing to see Sarah Palin get made fun of. This also, did really impacted allot of people opinions on Sarah Palin (like mine). This made Sarah loose allot of votes.....
And I guess all what Sarah Palin would say is "You Betchia!"
I am happy Obama won!

megs web page success
Tonight I have been working on my web page for my online ethnography for graphic design communities. I have created a really neat interface design, which I am proud of.
From being in a web design class today I learned how to create hyper links in Dreamweaver. I did attempt to use this technique for my home page for media class.
And I am so happy that the 3 links I created so far in Dreamweaver worked. Its cool how about classes are going together so I can use my new Dreamweaver skills.
The online ethnography is going well. I have found many interesting things on researching online communities.
I am apart of two online graphic design communities. I find myself favoring one over the other though.
