I love Adrian’s dancing metaphor to describe Networked Media. “No one knows where it leads and no one knows the steps”. This got me thinking about both the future of this mysterious media industry and mine. The destiny remains unknown. Nobody even me can tell where we are going after university, or just with this course. I guess probably it is hard to find our steps or sometimes there is no way to imagine what the direction we should go; yet we should still keep dancing. It is like an adventure. We shouldn’t give up as I think we are already on the right track – being here. Before that, Adrian asked at the beginning of the lecture if we feel like we need an university degree to get by jobs in future. Well…who knows? Keep dancing and we will find out. All we need to do now is to prepare ourselves in this dance to take up any challenge.

“Knowledge is constructed”. Everybody knows something; knows a lot about that and less about this. Somebody creates things; certain things they are interested or good at. We all see things differently and so we learn things in our own way according to our preferences. I reckon that is the notion of blogging. In our blogs, we post things that are constructed in the way we want. Others read our blogs; in that way our stuff become a knowledge to them and they learn it.

I am excited for the next week’s lecture.
