Given the circumstances, the class last week was pretty interesting. I always enjoy trying to figure out exactly what new media is and how it effects everyone. Susan and the class got into a lot of discussions about what New Media does, and I would like to share what I think.
Ultimately, New Media is an expression for individuals to further the progress of their current state of advance. Human beings, and the world as well, all are in a constant state of foward movement, whether you believe time to be true or not, there is an undeniable reliance on time and the fact that what has happened no longer exists and what has yet to come lies off in the future. We are constantly trying to evolve ourselves and our thinking, and in response, we find new ways of communicating, reacting, and engaging. Ultimately, a creative paradigm emerges for the time, and in that moment this paradigm is new, innovative, and creative. However, because of the undeniable truth that time moves on, this paradigm ultimately shifts as soon as a new technological advance has been established. Thus is the way of the New Media spectrum, and thus is the way of life in general.
New Media encompasses the passion of every generation; it is the willingess to accept his forward change and stay up to date with what is creative and important. New Media will forever be fresh, no matter what paradigm we rest in.
Beth, we love you as a professor and friend. You are an inspiration to all of your students, friends, and faculty. We are here for you to support you in this part of your life. Do not hesitate to ever express what you truly feel, and always be the beautiful person we know you are. We look forward to seeing you in class.
