For many months it’s been on the back of my mind to create a blog, a place of my very own within the social media sphere where I can analyse, discuss and reflect topics relevant to my programme of study. My name is Aoife and I am a student of New Media and English at the University Of Limerick in Ireland. So far this course has provided me with the sources and encouragement to delve deeper into two subjects I have always loved and in particular New Media.
Growing up in a generation where nearly 99% of people own laptops and cellphones New Media is at it’s prime and is a reliance for many people on how they communicate and connect with one another. On a daily basis we read, share and discuss topics and sources we find on our laptops, smartphones, and tablets. The world has become a smaller place and we can find out about something two minutes after it has happened on the other side of the world. This is one thing I love about New Media and in particular technical communication and writing.
This semester I have learned so many new things on a world I thought I already knew a lot about. In this blog I will be discussing what I have learned each week, focusing on social issues in technology while touching and reflecting on some other topics and my own personal entries. Thanks for reading and enjoy!
