*I attempted to post this on Monday, but apparently it didn't go through. Thanks to Michael for letting me know.
Today when we had an opportunity to revise our maps, not only did it give me a chance to better understand this assignment, but once I got my ideas down on paper, I really got the true meat of this assignment. I'd never acknowledged how completely integrated my life was in technology. I rely on it for everything. My news, my social interactions, even my television. I have no idea when the last time was that I actually sat down in front of a television and watched a television program. I view all my favorite programs through the internet. There are people in my life whom I would never talk to if I didn't interact with them via Facebook or Twitter. Technology in itself is so important to my education. Were it not for the internet, I wouldn't have access to essential student resources such as Blackboard or Gradebook. I use my laptop to download textbooks from the Internet at a reduced price. In comparison to a print textbook, an electronic textbook allows me to find information easily and quickly just by entering my desired topic into the search bar. Overall, without it, I don't know how I would be able to function without the internet. The mapping project has allowed me to see that.
