So this is a clip from 1994 just 16 years ago on the Todays show about what the
internet was. We have come along way. They honestly did not know what it was.
Now think about what we are doing and don't understand. I mean we pretty much run on the
internet now. Will we run off tweets and facebook, or will there be something else that right now
we just can not grasp.

Intro
Hello my fellow COM 490 classmates and a shout out to the professor Dr. Wilson.
So here is my introduction. I am 21 and a senior at Reinhardt University. I am a Visual communications electronic media major. I am the Intramural Sports Coordinator. I also work in the Communications edit lab and I work as a campus ministry intern on campus as well.
I am looking forward to this class and what we can learn from it. See all of you in class on Tuesday 18th at 12:30.
Matt Martin signing off.
Readings part one
In the readings from the New New Media book, something that struck me was the idea that there seems to be a dependency on New New Media more than ever before. Just looking back to the week school was canceled the internet was down and people when in a social setting would bring up the fact that they could not check there Facebook or couldn’t communicate with the outside world.
I know New New Media is not just facebook and the Internet and all it has to offer but that is what I see as a major component of it. For example when people said they felt isolated from the outside world of Reinhardt, they meant they could not visit youtube cannels, read tweets, read blogs, or check peoples Facebook statuses. All this to say it seems that with this New New Media that is forming it comes from this new generation that gets to experience all of this first hand. It is what is being feed to them. The older generations are adapting but they still have their “New Media” and “Media” that still has they primitive forms. I use the word primitive lightly in the sense that with New New Media and Web 2.0 primitive is only 15 years ago.
With this New New Media there is the good and the bad. In the text “New New Media” Levinson compares New New Media to guns and pillows. Both can be used for good and bad. It seems to me that people, because they have been given this power to produce what they want in New New Media, abuse the good that comes with New New Media. Levinson takes a whole chapter to talk about things that are normally used for good, but one or two bad apples use things like twitter and craigslist for bad.
All this to say, is that I am looking forward to learning a media that is a constent self-learning media. It is like I am an explorer and I have just discovered this new world of New New Media. Land ho.
