Week 1: Tutorial activity

So here I begin on page 1 of this particular chapter of university. One of the four subjects I am undertaking in my final semester of my first year of psychology, new communication technologies, is requiring I post regular entries onto a blog. Apparently detailing your relationships (or lack there of), career aspirations and social life on your own personalized website is one of the most popular fads of the 21st century. I, however, must admit I have no experience whatsoever in this technological craze, despite my addiction to Facebook and inclusion in the apparently technologically savvy generation Y.

Being a psychology student, while I am not completely up to date or good at blogging, I believe my great interest in how I think, how those who surround me think and the way in which society works as a whole, will allow me the ability to excel in this aspect of this subject. I am hoping this subject will force me to question a number of things surrounding the huge boom of technology in society today and consequently encourage me to answer those questions enthusiastically. This, I believe, will also advantage me in my psych degree which revolves a lot around questioning a number of things also.

I therefore look forward to the result of writing down a number of my thoughts each week regarding the subject, my degree and the way in which technology is impacting society today. I'm also anticipating the questions this subject will encourage me to answer and the way those answers will impact upon the way I use communication technologies.
