Final Exams

I appreciate not having a final exam in this class. As a mechanical engineer I do not often get a chance to write a paper, so it is a nice change from the constant practice problems and exams that I have to take in all of my other courses. I must say, I have thuroughly enjoyed this class this semester. I've gained some pretty random, but useful, knowledge about what other people think the future of the Internet holds for society. Some have dismal opinions (Marc Andrejevic and Andrew Keen), but Winograd and Hais have higher opinions. I personally take towards the negative side, as I feel that the Internet removes human interaction which is necessary to be human. It bothers me to no end when I see people who take enjoyment in sitting in front of a computer or other game system that can just play video games for hours on end. I can play a game for maybe a half an hour before I get bored and would rather do something else. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like without human interactions we are all just going to turn into organic robots.
