Class Reflectin 10.2

I was not very happy with class today.

I think class got off to a bad start for me with the discussion of Twitter. It may be different with other people who understand Twitter more, but for me, I was so confused. I understand how Twitter works on a blog. It is simply posting what your are thinking, doing or where you are and people can read it. However, when the conversation about using cell phones and all that jazz, I just did not understand it. Not to mention that You Tube video was creepy. That girl is a nut.

I know this is sort of off topic, but it had me thinking. When someone does not know how to do something or is confused about how something works (like myself and how Twitter works with cell phones), I find it interesting how people think it is impossible to learn or just so overwhelming. People feel that way because they simply are not use to it. It is not normal. It is difficult to learn something that your not use to.

Anyways, the class discussion was OK. I understand the reading for the most part. The discussion in class was a little confusing. I was unclear about what Prof. Dean was asking because of the way she worded some questions. That threw me off. Overall, I think the class was not horrible, but we have had betters ones.
