The web has now become a daily part of many people’s lives and as connectivity becomes increasingly available to EVERYone - it’s effects on human social order and behaviour becomes eminent.As social beings, humans interact with each other naturally. Although the methods of such interactions can now range from personal to telephone communications to letters and now web communication. Weinberger states that ‘ the Web is binding not just pages but us human beings in new ways. We are the true “small pieces” of the Web, and we are loosely joining ourselves’. Space, distance, judgement, privacy, and at times honesty becomes insignificant in the world wide web. Each user can now enter their own opinion, imagery and any other forms of media into the web which are totally reliant on their own perception and belief. As the use of the web now includes minute tasks (shopping) to major business/corporate operations - monitoring and censorship should also improve.Nevertheless, the web is an amazing development and will continue to play an important role in human/society development - especially in the modern world.

Greg Ulmer ~ MyStory… the discovery of a direction by means of writing.Unlike conservative profiles, character description, biographies, etc… MyStory involves practicing ‘picto-ideo-phonographic writing’ in an electronic environment. To further make things interesting, Ulmer has not provided a definition, nor a set of guidelines or methodologies to assist in others creating their own MyStory - thus the beauty of this emerging writing genre is to allow individual authors/creators to design their own MyStory in a non-uniformed direction - in turn ’simulating the experience of invention’. As content is built into the author’s MyStory, new inventions and ideas emerge - thus assisting the author to further investigate topics and uncover materials whether it be about themselves or of a random inter-related topic.Slightly reluctant to start my own story - MyStory - who knows what i will uncover?

i have a blog

Adrian Miles has pointed out the specifications of what is a ‘blog’ and its increasing use in the web. As it is now a media commonplace - blogs have been used in education, commercial media, knowledge management communities, web publishing - as well as for personal use. This is my first blog - started for my uni course - and is not just mainly utilised for class communication, but also as another communicative tool to provide my own thoughts on numerous/random issues. However, i have yet to provide links, insert videos nor have received any feedback or comments, therefore, does this mean this blog is not really a ‘real blog’? In Miles’ essay, blogs constitute of not only personal opinion, but also provide links, documentary videos and detailed commentary.
