Puddle of lecture blog - week 1

Ahhhhh, yes. The first week of New Comm Tech. Well, simply enough, we explored how we today interact with technology, and how it came to be this way. Discussion of new medias, and their role in people's lives today, seemed to play the main role in the lecture. Additionally the rapid growth and expansion of the technology since its arrival was also discussed. We were shown a youtube video called 'Cocaine Jesus' demonstrating the use of new medias to tell and spread new stories. Polls were taken within the lecture to see how many of us used the new social networking tools available to us today, such as the now out-dated myspace, the simple yet informative facebook and the baby of the bunch twitter. With the results showing that facebook was most commonly used throughout the New Comm Tech horde.
