Week 16: Post #1

1). What concept/s in this class have you found most interesting? What was it about the concept/s that you found interesting.

I think one of my favorite concepts that we discussed was when we covered the relationships developed online.  I found it very interesting to revisit the beginning of my cyberspace life.  I started exploring the internet when I was in Junior High School, along with many of my other classmates.  I however seemed to feel pretty different that many others did about my new channel of communication with the outside world.  Many of my classmates expressed much more interest in developing relationships with strangers online and developing relationships with people that they went to school with.  I never thought much about how "technically opposed" I was until I was observing it 10 years later.  I know that my parents took a very active approach in keeping me and my sister out of the house and active as possible, but I did not realize just how different that was from other kids my age.
