If you saw last week’s post you will know that I have been blogging since 2006.
I studied Multimedia at UBC and learned about blogging and how it was becoming monitized from a fab instructor in a class called Beyond the Black Box. I have to admit that I took the class because I thought it was going to be a bird course. Boy was I wrong, it was one of the toughest courses over my three year degree. (I sped things up by taking courses at night).
Our professor made us research and do presentations on the movers and the shakers of the time and even noted that we would eventually be walking around with a digital ‘world’ in our pockets.
We all kinda thought they were crazy but here we are, so not so crazy afterall.
I just really think about that sometimes, the times when someone introduced a concept to me that. I thought was too far fetched to grasp and later became mainstream.
We are surrounded by a million ideas every single day, some of them even float into our own thoughts, most are external and often we just scroll by.
What are people going to look back on from this era? Other than climate change, war, inflation and political unrest what do we have that has moved us forward? The first person to say TikTok is outta here!
I’m serious, I would love to know your thoughts because this is something I consider often and other than really learning the value of human connection over the past five years I can’t really put my finger on a personal learning that has influenced me so much.
Can you?
