We are now at the end of the semester, throughout the semester we have covered some interesting elements of the internet. From social media, politics, journalism, internet security, e-commerce to growth mindset. As i was previously a IT student studying internet computing, i wasnt very enthusiastic about the course and was hoping i cld get exemption from it. However, throughout the course it reinforced some of the stuff i had learned in poly and also the changes that had happened since then. In the beginning, it felt like a walk down memory lane and then it truly excites as we all look into the future. From 2001 - 2009, the internet have been through quite alot of innovation. Things was not always this dynamic and interactive and one example is how much social networking sites have grown, from using friendster and myspace in late 2003, other sites like zorpia, now defunct everyonesconnected.com, hi5, buzznet, facebook and twitter sprung out continuously. It looks to be an exciting future ahead with all the innovative gadgets coming out, revolutionising how things are done and what was thought as impossible in the past. we seen a few in the course of our study, like the internet umbrella and six sense technology.
In the end, i tink this course taught us again, theres never things that you can't learn. It showed us new meaning and insights into the technology we used everyday. i tink it become so routine for most of us, it just did not seems so excitable anymore but this course injected some fresh perspective into it. thanks you Mr. choy for not just imparting his knowledge on internet but also incorporating life lessons into it.
