I believe that Information Technology is a Gateway to the World because after taking this project in WISE we learned how the entire world is connected through the Internet. It was interesting also realizing that although the world is connected through the Internet there can be multiple interpretations to the way things are presented through the world. For example pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead.
After discovering that I can talk to anyone in the world through virtual worlds, such as There and blogs, it is amazing how i did not know this before. What really interested me is how in a couple years there may be more virtual universities than real universities. This was extremely interesting since as teenagers we are always told not to spend so much time on the computer, and then we may go to college and sit there for an hour or more listening to classes.
My favorite thing that we did in this class was the discussions on if the Internet is bad or good, and the discussion on real and virtual. This was interesting because there was no one answer, and also the answer was different for everyone. Also listening to the two guest speakers was interesting because you could see different careers in the same field of work.

Hi Amy, I'm glad you enjoyed our discussions about the good and bad aspects of technology and virtual worlds. I think everything you guys learnt this week about Web 2.0, virtual worlds, and the 'social revolution' of the Internet is going to become more and more prominent parts of our lives in future. It was a real pleasure teaching you guys and do keep in touch. All the best for your future studies :)
