Final Project blog assignment

My experience doing the final project was slow, steady and enlightening. Content-wise, I learned that there is no way to reasonably predict what kind of craziness our nation will see as time passes us by. Dr. Lunch helped me to realize that elections are truly only the beginning of a cycle, when it comes to a new President. It always seemed like the election process leads up to this big night when we crown our next president. However, election night is just the beginning for that newly-elected person.
The assumption that I had that we could forward to when an African-American woman would be running for a spot in the White House was immediately squashed by Dr. Lunch with a resounding, “You can forget that.” He made me realize that the future may be more shaped by Obama’s legacy in office rather than the fact that he actually is in office.
I have learned some things about technology as a whole since the beginning of this class that I otherwise would not have known or noticed. Prior to this class I had no idea what the RSS feed icons were that I would see on every page of the internet. Also, being a part of the bloggers world is something that may be huge for me in the future as I move into the field.An honest assessment of my time and work put into our final project would reveal that I put about eight to ten hours into it. That includes planning time, interviews, writing and meeting with my group to plan for the way the final project will look in the end.
