One of the reasons I wanted to take this class is because I am someone who has not entered the 21st Century enthusiastically about technology. I do have a computer but only since last summer high speed internet. I do have a digital camera but I often forget to bring it with me. I don’t have a cellphone. I certainly understand the appeal of gadgets but for me to spend my money and time with them I like to see a purpose. This week’s readings were a helpful introduction for me to see the wide variety of ways people share information. I enjoyed spending time looking at some of the historical walking tours and what people wrote in Were You There?. I have to admit to thinking, “Really?!?” at the Whole Foods “trip” button on Gowalla.
