newNEW media readings!

I found the reading very interesting as well as informative.  I've always know i live in a digital age and that its only getting more informative and accessible, however after reading chapter 1 of our book and seeing how well and extensively the author compared "new new" media to "new" media i am a little overwhelmed by it all.  From just 5 years ago technology has leaped all sorts of hurdles and some of the things our society can do now days is amazing.  To be able to grab my phone and just connect to the world wide web in seconds as well as see what people from all over the world are currently  via there facebook "status updates" is insane! It makes me realize how many more possibilities there are out there right now for me as i try and graduate and make a name for myself in my career, it also definitely made me feel lazy and like I'm not doing as much as i can to explore the avenues and possibilities that this digital age and the accessibility this century has given us.
