My first reaction to the Did You Know 3.0 presentation was, "Wow!" It is amazing how much information is out there today. It boggles the mind. On my Facebook page alone, there is more information than I can keep up with. How do people manage all those applications? I don't have time to go through and deal with every one so mine just keep accumulating. At this point in time, I "own" four e-mail accounts, have a MySpace page, and now thanks to this course, a Blog. I had no intention of becoming so active online; it just seems to keep sucking me in!
The Information Superhighway is shrinking the planet, but at the same time, I think it is overloading it with information. Yes, it is very nice to have answers right at your fingertips, but do we really need so much information? I'm sure I am not the only one who looks something up only to have to sift through a barrage of "hits" that may or may not pertain to my subject. Of course, I would not complain because the ease of access is just too convenient. However, sometimes I fondly recall the days when my only options were the encyclopedia and the dictionary!
About Me
- Cinnamon
- My name is Cinnamon, but I prefer to be called Cindy. I have been married to Jay for the past twenty years. My daughter is nineteen years old and studying to be an Emergency Medical Technician. My son is sixteen and a Junior in high school. I am from a small town in Missouri. I met my husband at Ft. Polk, Louisiana where we were both stationed in the Army. My biggest passion is the sport of volleyball and I am currently a referee with the Alabama High School Athletic Association. I am here at South to be a P.E. teacher so I can coach volleyball one day! Other than volleyball, I love to read, bake, and I am learning to love deep-sea fishing. I have other interests but no time to pursue them at this point. One day I would like to move back to my hometown and teach there.
