Hmmm...

So here we are, approaching mid- semester and what have I learnt so far from this particukar subject??

A little bit I have to say! There is heaps of shit out there on the interenet that I had no idea could be found. I tend to stick with my usual sites and that's it (no they're not all porn sites either).

Making my way through the texbook. Taking it all in, the best I can, I grasp most of the concepts but wouldn't say I "know it" as such yet. I really found chapter 10 interesting, finiding out about some of the old school boys doing their earlier work, and discoveries, that helped push forward the communication technologies that we have today. It then went on to talk about the creation of IBM and how the first processor was created, how these old scool machines used numbers in sequence and how getting these 'computers' to process higher numbers and more effeciently, another invention was needed.

Soon enough this was transformed into a computer that was 'affordable' mainly to rich geeks who had an interest. Two of these rich geeks were Steve Jobs and Billy 'boy' Gates. The rest for them history. My most enjoyed chapter of reading yet.

Now to these pictures... well that I am still working on! Hopefully by the end of the weekend I will have it all sorted. But hey- at least I have my essay topic now drum roll... 'Propaganda in the Media' Oh yeah! Something I am very interested in, and something I feel is quite relevant to the course.

Going to Peppers on Friday night, it is going to rock!
