    Some reading material

    Just finished my essay, I have to say its the hardest i’ve ever worked on an essay so fingers crossed I’ll do well. I’m a bit mad sometimes me! I think I work better under pressure. The last couple of times I’ve had to hand in essays for college I’ve been ill so It was always left to the very last moment.

    This time we got a bit of an extension, everything to be handed in by tomorrow. Thanks to my insomnia this week and getting our video project done it ended up Ā that I was doing it Thursday and Friday but I just couldn’t get my head around it. It wasn’t like it was way tough for anything, I just wasn’t in the right headspace for it.

    So for E Society I did this:

    Option 6:

    ā€œthe Web 2.0 revolution is decimating the ranks of our cultural gatekeepers, as professional critics, journalists, editors, musicians, moviemakers, and other purveyors of expert information are being replaced. … For the real consequence of the Web 2.0 revolution is less culture, less reliable news, and a chaos of useless information.ā€ (Keen, 2007: 16) What are the implications of the ‘Web 2.0 revolution’ for multimedia professionals?

  • The Noughties: My Review

    Millennium Dome 1999
    Millennium Dome NYE 1999

    So Friday sees the start of a new year and a new decade. Thank God 2009 is over, I don’t think I’m the only one who thinks its crap.

    I spent a month in hospital, thanks to a blood clot just below my knee that really wasn’t treated properly at the start. It turned into a DVT and I end up on crutches for a staggering 29 weeks. I’m off them 4 weeks today, I’m still getting used to walking around.

    So when I was feeling sorry for myself the rest of the population of Ireland were losing their jobs and going on the dole. When I was 18, I too joined the dole queue, the country was also in a pretty crap state but people still had hope. This time round though people seem extremely down.

    A lot of things have happened this decade, looking back at world events it was the decade that changed the world. 9/11 sorted that, along with 7/7 bombings in London in 2005.Since the guy tried to blow up a plane on Christmas Day, we’re supposedly going to have to strip down to our underpants to board a plane.

    I’m writing this on my blackberry, phones could just about SMS a decade ago. Now we’re always connected, if I didn’t have the BBerry I’d be completely lost.
