I think what struck me most about Will Richardson's visit (I know it was over a week ago now) is the explosion of social networking and how public our information and writing is and now can be. I still don't understand MySpace and Facebook but it is certainly popular. So many people I know have albums of pictures of themselves online. My question is why? Why do I care what you and your friends dressed up as for Halloween? Why do I care what people write on their blogs? What has caused this gigantic shift to go public? I want my anonymity back! Well it hasn't really gone anywhere. I don't have any online photo albums or subscribe to MySpace- I don't need to have 347 "friends." Don't get me wrong I like blogging and will definitely use it in my classroom. But I am just amazed at what the internet has become in the last 7ish years since I've been in college. I find that any time I need information about something I'll look it up on wikipedia. I still don't edit much but I find the amount of information established there to be astounding. Technology is taking over the world and (I think) I love it!
