From seeing some of the media artifact presentations, it is obvious that most people either focused on the components of the Internet, or used the Internet to demonstrate their artifact. I think this is a clue to just how widely we rely on the Internet. Because a media artifact can be just about anything: a newspaper, magazine, photograph, etc., it was interesting that most everyone chose to do something on the computer. It seems to me that maybe about 10 years ago, if a group of students were faced with this project, they would probably bring in an actual newspaper or magazine. However, with our technological savvy skills we cannot only focus on many different mediums, but we can use technology and the Internet to further explain our projects. I remember the first time trying to figure out PowerPoint, it was a little annoying, but once understood it is very simple. I would have say that after graduating from college, most students probably know how to use PowerPoint, and can use it to its full potential. For our generation, we did not have the Internet when we were little, but we have been forced to socialize into it as we have grown. Throughout the years we have continued to gain further technological knowledge, and we will still continue to learn. Its crazy for me to think that younger generations will just simply have all of this knowledge, prior to their college experience. I believe that because our lives have not been completely embedded in the technology of the Internet there is still much room for us to criticize it and analyze it. I think it’s very important to understand just how these mediums are used, and to realize how they are influencing us. It is dangerous to accept everything as the truth, and I believe that by doing a project such as this we are really dissecting the true nature of these media technologies.
