Adrian believes he has a public perception within the course as the grumpy old man, but please don’t doubt yourself Adrian, I’m still listening. I am very impressed to find out that he is self taught in the field of network literacies, as I believe he has vast knowledge that all of us can learn from.
“Every medium must bow down to the Internet.” His comments on the post-industrial age I found particularly interesting. I really do hope that his visions of the broken down education system will come to fruition. I whole heartedly agree with the views he put forward from the principle of Templestowe college, as my high school Eltham college followed a similar system, it was more like a university, we were allowed to choose to start early, finish early, or start later and finish later, which I found supremely beneficial towards my learning. Anyone who knows me, knows I am not a morning person, so starting later in the day did wonders for my education, and considering how narrowly I scraped into the media course, I feel as if I had an earlier start time it would have been a different story. Viva la post-industrial world.
