I never thought about the fact that there are people out there who dedicate their lives to advising others on how to use the Internet to their advantage until I me Alan Rosenblatt.
Alan has a PhD. and is an Internet strategy consultant and the Internet Advocacy Center. He advises politicians and other well known people on how to effectively use the Internet. He says there are two things to keep in mind when creating a website.
1) It's not what you think should be done as a web designer. A web designer needs to have the mind set of, what do my users want to do once they get to my site?
2) If you are just disseminating information with the Internet you are doing something that is very powerful but you are barely scratching the surface. It can be used for so much more, for example, connecting people.
Rosenblatt says he believes that the world is moving away from email and headed towards social networks such as myspace.com and facebook.com when communicating. In other words the online world is becoming more personal.
Alan Rosenblatt was a great speaker and very intelligent. Great class!
