I'd like to introduce you to Lisa, last name Townley. She's a person who enjoys the little things; a cup of tea in the morning; a good book; a picture perfect moment when you have your camera handy; and a pen or keyboard when inspiration strikes (albeit infrequently). So why did she choose New Communication Technology? Well despite the fact that it's mandatory... actually, I can't think of any other reason. Though now that I, Lisa, switching into first person, have attended the lecture, and realised what it's all about, look forward to venturing into new domains previously unconquered by my fingers feverishly poking the keyboard.
I have always thought the progress of technology a wonderful thing, never paying heed to the risk it forms in concern to individual privacy. I would mention government agencies and media conglomerates but to be honest I applaud those who cause a little mayhem in governing bodies, official or no. Got to keep them on their toes, or who knows what will happen. But, opinion aside, I would never consider myself that technologically savvy to use it against those I deem to be the prevailing dictators of our lives, like so many activists out there today. Doesn't mean I wouldn't relish the act!
I digress. I just like to go off on tangents sounding intellectual when I'm not really, I just like to play around with words, and the images and ideas they create in one's mind. Speaking of images, I am also studying photography. And speaking of words, I would like to improve upon and mayhap become a writer. A writer/photographer, wouldn't that be dandy? So I guess what I'm driving at (I'm driving now? Where am I going with this?) is that technology, especially new technology, helps and accentuates what I do. Digital SLR's are AMAZING in the control you have over the image, even before pushing the shutter release button. To resort to a cliché, the possibilities are endless.
