Last blog...finally. Anyway, coming to the end of the semester, I wanted to blog a little about what I thought of MCS 370 as a whole. At first, I was a little skeptical about taking the class at night because I did not know if I would be able to sit in a classroom for two and a half hours. I thought the class would consist mainly of topics concerning facebook. I was surprised when we started learning about other technologies and found myself more and more interested with the course texts. I had never thought about half the stuff we learned about until this class. For instance, I had never wondered how powerful a crowd could be or actually how much we are under surveillance in our every day routines. I thought our teacher was a huge help in making the classes go by faster. She could draw our attention and get us on interesting topics we were willing to discuss. Watching Charlie Wilson’s War was a bonus. I had not seen the entire movie from start to finish until the class. I had never had a course that I was required to have a facebook account. It was interesting how our teacher communicated through messages on facebook, as well as Blackboard. The class challenged us to compare and contrast the differences in the media from the past and present. It is impossible to dictate where technology will go in the future, but I found it an interesting topic to discuss. I would definitely recommend MCS 370 to students at UMBC.

Its true for me also, i had doubts about the course going in but in the end I feel it was definitely worth it and I learned alot about the way technology affects my everyday life I may not have otherwise thought of.
