First and last post

So...this is my first and last blog. By reading this it will probably be assumed that I haven't "interacted" with the course and so on and so forth, YET I have! I have been a regular READER of the class blog but have never felt confident enough to post something. Perhaps this is due to the majority of the blogs being so intimidating to a new comer of techno culture such as myself? Or could it just be because I value good old face to face interaction.
Remember at the start of this course when Luke asked us if we considered ourselves to be Futurists, Amish, Luddites or Transhumanists? Well I started off possibly under the catergory of 'Amish', as I felt a deep seated resistance towards technology. However, after learning so much about new technologies I think it is safe to say that I am not so ignorant.
I now see that new technologies are profoundly transformative and can definately be used to our advantage. I guess its just that I like human interaction, I prefer practices such as tutorials where people get to sit down with one another and discuss and debate. So much emotion and meaning (I feel) is lost when it is just presented like this.
In conclusion, I felt that the blog was very interesting yet very intimidating. I enjoyed reading certain posts but donot regret not posting until now.
