In Class Video

The video we watched in class today really got me thinking. I forgot about what it would be like for our moms and dads to have to write everything by hand or type writer when they had to do a big research project. They did not have the luxury of jumping online with the overload of information and accessing anything they wanted. I cannot imagine writing a paper without the internet, let alone a computer. The computer has changed the entire way the world works and the internet has changed communication forever.
The video also made me realize how easy it was to put information on the web. Anyone has the capability to place information on the web. Therefore, allowing anyone to read it whether it is true or false. As a result, some people are taking stories as fact and changing their opinions. I agree with this video in the fact that the web has changed us. Yet, it has also linked us closer together.
