Introduction and Reflection

Hello,

So there are a few things you need to know about me. First, my name is Shannon and I created this blog as part of my Mass Communications Class. As a Professional Writing major, my hobbies include reading and writing. My overall goal for myself at the moment is to publish a book within the next two years.

Reflecting on my professor's post, I would have to put myself in the middle. Neither agreeing to it nor disagreeing. The virtual world and its media can be daunting. How much should you share about yourself to your audience? You do not want to share too much or too little. Create a balance on what you are comfortable with sharing. This will be your presence and no one else's on the internet. Your words, thoughts, and ideas being shared throughout the world. The media and trends are ever changing, and that is something that will not stop. You could follow them or you can take your own path. Make of it what you will.

In the virtual world, it can be hard to look beyond the words on the page. Whether those words are harmful or encouraging. One will make you feel better about yourself and the other can bring you down. In the end, they are just words and words can be forgotten. As I have mentioned before that the media and the trends are ever changing. Online, what was popular last week might not be popular in the present. Each of us have a different experience, new ideas on what is important, and what will fade away. What do you choose to look deeper at? How do you consume and examine media?  This is all up to you.
