I am looking forward to taking this New Media and Society class because the information presented within the course seems very interesting and relevant to my life seeing as I am still very young. I love looking at statistics on how much society has shifted from not having electronics to not being able to live without them on any given day. I know for a fact I use my phone everyday to go on Facebook, play games, talk to my friends and family, and just make time pass, but when you think about it there are so many other things we could be doing with our time. That's why I am looking forward to this class because instead of being a statistic I want to actually do what I used to do as a kid. For example, when I was around the age five and older my parents would tell me to go play inside and I couldn't come back inside until lunch and after eating I had to go right back outside and play. There were no cell phones or Internet and I was very active. I think this class has the potential to help people with their day to day lives by making them realize how much technology has transformed our lives.
