Assessment #1 Blog Post


Initially, when starting this subject I found it somewhat confusing and rather boring. However, as I have progressed and the confusion has slowly unveiled itself like the mist lifting on a cold morning, found many aspects of this subject to have merit and inspiration. Whether we like it or not the technology is here and it is being used in our every day lives as an effective means of communication that impacts not only our social lives but our working environment in so many ways.

Blogger:

My Blogger has fourteen post's currently, including comments made about other peoples posts. One such post of interest was a picture of a guitar posted by Anthony Sarina, Anthony's post http://www.flickr.com/photos/anthonysarina_mpi104/6074445413/in/contacts/ . I found this picture inspiring as it is something that I love to do when I relax and that's play the guitar or piano if there is one handy. Inspired by this post I added a link to one of my favorite movies that is Crossroads, the movie is mediocre but the music is awesome.   Crossroads final battle - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atw6F47UCYM&feature=related
