Today was the first proper class of the course. After a morning of working on another course's projects, I had about two hours till this class, so I went home and googled around, because I wanted to setup some galleries for my work. Got it under construction, when I found bolGallery (which is easy and awesome by the way), just need to unify it with my website's layout and create the galleries for each folder.
Anyway, about the class, for the first half of the class or so our teacher, Mika, talked about the clearly visible two groups using the internet. The so called Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants. Us, who have used the internet pretty much ever since we went to school, are the natives, we're used to all sorts of new fancy things that are related to the internet or PCs, and what not. The computer is basicly an extension of us. Where as the immigrants are the older generations, that really haven't gone so far, necessarely, into the world of computing. Mika also told us about the evolution of the internet from a rather small library into an insane one, with bringing along the shopping mall and the lot (commercialism, basicly).
In the latter part of the class we were told to form groups, and so we did. Our group consists of Toni, Timo, Jarno, Joona and me. Rather a solid group of people that I've worked with in the past (and currently) quite a bit. After a while we came up with the name 4 Aces and A Joker, don't ask where it originates from. Going to start with the course's group projects on Friday, I reckon.
That's about enough for this week's ICT-marketing and collaborative media.
