A progressive shutdown, with hope.

This is a reflection of the past 13 weeks of DMC and I suppose I'm required to re-enact my understandings of trust and social media, and realise that I am one half of this technological generational gap that arose in conversation much too often. The truth of this angle is that indeed I have been living all that I express, often not so much on time yet always finding new truth in construction of the what this subject has taught me and what it requested I reflect upon by preparing a weekly blog. I maintain it has been a long running, on-way communication structure, however, it has proven to be one of the most enlightening conversation topic this year. I finally feel as though it is no longer our cohort of fellow media students that are battling the strain of constructivism, privacy, truth and new media. I have found ways to express what I have here to a much broader society, to population I can teach but telling them what I have just learnt. I have found too often that people are open and receptive to this information.

The blogs for me - no matter how daunting the initial process of actually typing one was - became very much ritual and flowing after the first line. Remembering a significant aspect of the time focussed on I was able to pull out personal examples and traits I had accidently discovered along the way of the semester. There were moments of feeling the pressure by fellow students who appeared to have high blogging experience, but there were also those who were very technical with their description. I believe that at the point you over come this threat you are able to produce information that is much friendlier to yourself and your readers.

I dare say it all ends here, that the system closes down, but I have a rather pleasant notion that the start of my blogging life has just begun. The structure of these blogs has allowed for flexibility within a given topic. These specifics allow for a much more in depth insight into a world of something I would have never chosen to begin with.

So I think I will head back to a media topic; before this shuts down, I may just offer a re-boot of the system to see how it goes.
