Today's Technology

I think that Professor Jenkins had some good ideas on how to make places of higher learning better prepare students for the job force of today. Because of technology, today as we know it changes with technology. And as technology changes, we must also change our ways to live in the newer society. Therefore, I thin that the traditional, one-dimensional view of a profession is too outdated to be effective in the modern world. For a field of study to become more "comparative" will most likely benefit the students, and make them more beneficial. But I think that if the idea of a "YouNiversity" were to be taken quite literally, it would be utter chaos. Students can't learn every single aspect of today's world, it would be impossible.

Writing in today's media has significantly changed from what it used to be. What I'm doing right now isn't something people has always done, but it exists now because of technology. Now, absolutely anybody can be the author of something, and have the potential of millions to read their work. That also shifts the power of the media, because organized media isn't the only people who can break the news to a wide array of people. For example, I can see a video online way before anybody on the news can report about it. Knowledge has also expanded and changed from technology. Now people don't have to rely tracking down somebody specific to answer their question, they can ask a whole lot of people, and chances are that they will get the right answer, in a shorter amount of time.
