Week 2 - Topic 2 - Is Email Dead?

Lecture:

The lecture this week discusses how cyberculture evolved. Beginning in the 90’s, people immediately judged the new concept and either trusted or distrusted the internet. As too many people took the introduction of the internet as a chance to propel their ideas of futurity and their generalisations of society to a broader audience, people became sceptical.
The discussion topic for this week was whether or not email is dead. As I wasn’t at the lecture this week, the information I gathered from the online lecture notes and fellow students, the conclusion I’ve come up with is that email is not dead amongst our generation. It questions emails place in a society of increasing new communication methods. As email is a slower form of communication than an SMS, but a faster form of communication than a letter, it has a good balance of between the two. Email is still affective for businesses and distant family members and friends.

Tutorial:

I wasn’t there for the tutorial that week. Everyone set up their web blogs so I set up my blog the following week.

Reading:

I still have yet to do the reading as it is only my first week in the class. I’ll comment at a later date.

About me

Hi, my name is Kellie. I'm currently studying a Bachelor of Communication majoring in Journalism at Griffith. I hope to be an editor of a magazine or newspaper. I'm also rehearsing for a community theatre play called Maskerade which is a take-off of the musical Phantom of the Opera. I play Christine, the untalented Opera Star. Over the Christmas break I travelled to New Zealand and did a Contiki tour. While I was in Queenstown I went White Water Rafting and Jet Boating. I also did the Canyon Swing which was the most terrifying and fun activity I've ever done! I recommend it to anyone who travels to New Zealand.
