As the semester and school year close out, I take a look around and think about each class individually as an experience and hopefully that of learning. Some of the classes-mainly gen-eds are 98.2% busywork and often I find myself walking away with little or nothing to take away for the future.
On a more positive note...this IT class really taught me quite a bit and the range of the information which I gained from the class expands beyond the realms of IT, but is important in marketing, communication, finance, and almost every aspect of business and life. The many uses of both social networking and blogging are infinite.
Whether you're looking for a place to live, a bed for your apartment, a date on a Saturday night, an internship or job in August, or something to read when you're bored at night...blogs and social networks are the answer. Ten minutes ago I was reading an article from Forbes that I read on Digg which was about a man who found his wife on CraigsList while just trying to sell his sofa -- Check it out!
Coming in all shapes, forms, styles, and sizes blogs are helpful in many ways from finding the best product, price, restaurant, or reading about the latest car introduces 8 minutes ago at the Toyko Auto Show.
After taking this class, I realize the expanse of the Internet and its application in almost every aspect of life. All I can say is that due to the aforementioned reasons, i'm glad to be an IT major. ... not to mention the job opportunity and demand for IT majors in the workforce at an all time high!
On that note, I'm looking forward to a relaxing summer break.
