Final module

Module 13

     After taking this class I have learned a lot about how the world’s technology has grown a tremendous amount.  Most of us including myself were not aware of how much we had actually grown.  After the reading we had to do in The World Is Flat I learned a lot about how foreign countries are working in our country on a daily basis from their own country.  I had no idea that most of the time that I call to talk to the call center of a company it is actually someone in India.  Overall the class expanded my horizon a lot and I learned how to understand the internet and how is has grown to the tremendous size that it is now.  Friedman humbled me after reading his book.  All this time I thought that America was far surpassing everyone else on earth in the technology. Now I realize that we are becoming flat and that we are soon going to be on the same playing field.  I believe that this class is very important part of our education process because it makes you think about how much the internet is a part of our lives.  It also helps us be more appreciative of the luxuries that we have and how easy it is to do homework from home and not have to go to class everyday to learn.  You can receive the information you need when class is missed.  This luxury has affected me a lot because of playing golf here at Weber State and trying to get all the information I need to pass each class.

     After thinking about how I would improve this class I couldn’t think of a lot of things that really popped out for me.  The one thing that I can really say I enjoyed was the little article in the middle of our reading of The World Is Flat. I really enjoyed the breaks you gave us from the readings during the middle of the semester it helped keep me focused and ready the read the next section after.  I just wanted to say thank you being so clear and helpful during the semester and that this is one of the best online classes that I have taken and really enjoyed learning about a wired society and Freidman’s book.
