I do not play games online, but I do have a social network (Facebook), I heavily rely on my email for work, relationships, and my social life, and I use it to manage my finances and school.
Five years ago my Web 2.0 experience was not this deep. I still used email and Facebook, but I really didn't use the Web beyond that. Now I depend on it! If I wasn't able to use the Web I wouldn't be going to school, I'd have to find another, and more difficult, way to manage my finances, and I wouldn't keep in touch with so many people.
This cloud is reassuring and frightening all at once!!!
I completely relate to your experience in the cloud, it does have an scary/pleasant vibe to it. I gotta say I wouldn't be half as organized in my financial realm if it weren't' for the cloud either! I really forgot to mention that in my post. And of course, attending school in the cloud, what could be better?
ReplyDeleteCool post Stacy..
The cloud is almighty and scary indeed. I feel like it strips privacy away from me in some because it forces me to use it. If it weren't for this class, I would never ever have made a blog. To be honest, I'll probably delete my blog after this class is done(of course, I'll have it saved to my computer before I delete it). I don't even use Facebook other than instant messaging friends because it keeps it more private that way.
ReplyDeleteWhile there are some scary elements to the cloud, the benefits that it brings far outweigh that dark side. Like you, my life would be mcuh more difficult in many ways if not for the cloud!
