I thought today's class was very interesting. This has been such an interesting semester in Online Journalism. This class could easily just be writing stories and posting them online for 35 weeks straight. However, it has been so much more than that. Professor Klein has brought in incredible speakers who have scratched the surface of the amazing forms of new media available to this generation.
It is interesting that the younger generation is a little overwhelmed with these new forms of media such as Flash, Dreamweaver and Photoshop. I think we grew up with home PCs, the Internet, Instant Messenger and Napster and therefore the older generation thinks we are the children of Bill Gates. In reality, a new software program will always be a new software program. I think our class is a little overwhelmed with the sudden learning curve.
Having said all of that, I don't think there is any reason to feel we will not succeed in this line of work. There maybe a new learning curve, but we cannot forget we are in college to learn. I think we should just enjoy the fact that our University is one of the few that will let us touch this new technology before our first potential employer ever asks us if we've touched a program like Dreamweaver in a job interview.
