New communication technologies. i don't really know what i expected when i enrolled in this course at the start of the semester. mostly because i didn't know how to get information about the courses. but i knew to expect something about technology... surprise surprise. the reason that i took this class up was that i wanted to take an art course. i am studying a bach. of psychology, and there weren't really any electives that were related to my area of interest... crime and forensic science. (although now i have decided to take on the bach. of forensic science by the horns) i also was working previous to study at a school organinsing the promotions and design adds and having the free creative licence to do as i wish (they still commission free lance work off me every now and again). so communication technology sounded good. and i could always fob it off as helping me to gain a more modern form of communication skills.
i dont really know whether i have gained more communication skills. but i know i have an elevated interest in things like the history of computers, open-source software, the internet, computers and even playing games... we bought a wii... i'm not really all that fond of writting essays and putting my thoughts onto something more material, or letting people see my thoughts before i express my ideas in the material. but i have actually had a heap of fun writting this blog, and through writing my essay (i don't think i've ever wanted anyone to read an essay that i have written before, its amazing). even though i didn't get to read the text book much during the semester i might actually pick it up for a read another time. maybe.
all in all i really liked studying this course. now that the essay is done and marks are back, and are great enough for me to be proud of. and after i have finished the exam, and it was actually less worrying then i first anticipated and very entertaining with all the puns... especially the one about the open source... i think if i had to choose again, yep i would. the only thing at one point that might have made me feel a little adverse was the long lectures, especially when i didn't quite understand a little bit of the content. but all is good.
hey, even if nothing else came out of this course for me, at least i will never have to pay for software again... or i won't.. unless i really like it. or maybe if i'm pressured, or win the lottery. yeah, bill gates is going to have to make me win the lottery to buy any of his software now. maybe we can all win the lottery and "give him the bird".
