Abandonment

In my efforts to be excited in a new area of thought (linguistics) I found myself at a dead end. So with this, and a post conference blues I have decided for a complete abandonment of my previous topic. Now I have a new source of inspiration, something that excites me too. I am going to look into some sort of environmental issue that is impacted by technology. Just hopping around the internet I found an interesting article on these new social mediums encouraging a green movement. The green movement takes on the internet. Sounds interesting to me!

Now this topic is still in it's infancy stage, but it feels more appropriate. We will see where this takes me.

Reasearch: Day One

I got through an entire book of research today. I think that focusing my work on the degradation of language which may or may be from technology. For the fun of it I may try and argue that it has nothing to do with the degradation. I just have to figure out how I am going to shape my argument, which at this point seems to be the most challenging piece.

Purpose

The purpose of this blog is really to serve as a tool of communication for my writing class, composition of civic life. That title itself begs questions, but this class mainly focuses on the influence of technology. The class discussions end up mainly becoming a sociological debate silently in my mind. I still to this day cannot grasp why someone would want a second life, but anyways we are supposed to explore an area for a term paper. I have decided to look at technology's influence on language. This may be biting too much off because I have zero background in linguistics, but we will see. After some research I may choose to completely abandon this topic and go into a more comfortable area like the environmental impact of technology. But for now I will stand up to this wandering abiss.
