Presentations

Today many different types of information ecologies were presented. Some of the topics were ones that would have never thought of as ecologies. I was especially interested in the presentation of chapter 11, ad about the cameras. It was a very interesting topic and now I am going to keep a closer eye on things and who is watching. While listening to the presentations I found that my definitions for my personal information technology were clarified.

I was having a hard time with Locality. I read the definition in the book and thought that it was hard to be able to figure out for my topic what it meant. Now listening to other groups I can look at mine and figure out what it is. Name makes the ecology recognizable, and how the inhabitants that use it. So in having a computer in a class room you would assume that it was there for the kids to do educational things on it.

I have learned that ecologies are in everyday life and they are useful in analysis of the situation helping us understand the group dynamics and the importance or being connected to those around us.
