Approaching the end.

This week marks the end of the semester for all of my classes except for one. This will feel like the longest week of my life.

Anyways, back to COMM 101. Reviewing each of the articles covered in class this week gave us all a chance to revisit and rethink some of the topics covered in the second half of the semester. With the combination of this and a lecture in COMM 102 this week, I've been able to think more about the existence of social media on the internet today. Looking at websites like those mentioned by Sharon Meraz, such as Digg, we see just one style of social media out of the thousands and thousands that exist online.

It will be very interesting to see where social media takes us in the future. I begin to think about whether or not people will eventually lose hope on big time news companies and realize that people can make their own news through the use of blogs and sites like Digg.

Also, I sit around and wonder if the world as we know it will change so dramatically that face-to-face communication becomes far more rare than it is today and we rely more on internet communication.
