Final Post – Where do I go from here?

Well then, final post for this module. I’m not too sure on what to put so we shall see how I go.

Before starting the module I was already an active member on the internet, I now know, that I seem to be addicted from my result which I got when we did the ‘Internet Addiction’ test (I didn’t mention in my blogs but other students have done). Though from recent life experiences and events I think I will continue to be this way for a while, maybe even my entire lifetime?

One question I know can be asked to myself is, will I continue to blog? So far from browsing other student’s profiles I have noticed that the majority will not continue in blogging. I, on the other hand will. This sense of online journal has changed my views of what the internet is, whether that was the intentions of my tutors forcing me upon the changes over the years, I personally don’t know. However I thank them for it as it has most defiantly being my personally favourite module for the first semester of my final year. I am sad to leave it as the seminars we had were great fun, and somehow it bought my confidence up. Sadly though my confidence went straight back down due to personal reasons of which are mentioned within my posts below.

The things we have learnt: from how to become millionaires by blogging, swapping general things and ending up with a house for a pen (it’s a great one, I’ll make sure I post it in my future blogs) to advertising yourself to potential employers through the aid of posting a blog which is actually your CV. On thing I have enjoyed is meeting the new people I would not have met on the discussion forum for COOL. I find myself now every time when reading posts or threads on forums everywhere that I keep referencing it to the Bails analysis we did. Though I don’t consider that a bad thing at all. Means it sunk in, which is what life is about … learning new things.

How to finish? Don’t like endings so I’m going to state this … in conclusion … an online community to me means a lot. I help run one, I join them and will continue to join them. Web2 even though experts don’t like it due to the significance to the .com boost in the early 90’s; I do. It’s a new way of life, let’s hope it continues it success because there are more good points than bad ones. As long as we have our own choice of what we view and do on the internet then we are the ones in control; not some business. Though we already have discussed that in one of my earlier posts, so thank you the readers and messengers that have left replies.

I would say something like... goodbye BUT because I’m going to start a new blog later on this month, I will give you an insight into what it will be based upon. I will be basing it on my life, the people that have helped me to get where I am today, as well as my experiences online and through university. Though I will be careful about the things that I post; now that I am aware of this ‘black hole’ that seems to learch around this virtual world. What a day to end as well on my birthday (even if this is late - sorry for that btw)
