Just recently having joined Facebook a few months ago when I had to rsvp a baby shower invitation, I guess I am definitely behind the times in the newer technological networking programs that are out there in cyberspace, nor have I tweeted on Twitter yet. Looking up some of my storytelling colleagues, friends, and professors, I have seen that it is a great tool to advertise who you are and what you do, and of course it's there to connect people. I have looked up several professional and famous storytellers on Facebook. I see that some people even have pics of their homes posted, which I would never do. I think that while some of these networking technology tools are great online, we have to use wisdom just like not giving out our credit card, or any other personal information online. It could be dangerous, as there are many internet predators out there. As far as the storytelling community and world, it's great to be able to connect to and network with so many of these people right at your fingertips. Google is fabulous as well. As the saying goes, "you can google anything." And you can now a days. Any kind of story information, storytellers, authors, terms, word etymologies, anything, literally anything. The information highway has increased our knowledge potential light years. Where will it all lead, I wonder? Fast paced, facebook, story trek? I've enjoyed Linguistics so much. David has been a gifted and fabulous teacher, and we had the best class mates ever! What a wonderful experience that I will take with me, use and grow in more of the terminology and language of story, and grow as a teller to come.
Thanks Bonnie, Chris, Marci, and Jessica for making the class so special, and thanks to you David for being such an exceptional teacher and helping us all to grow! Goodnight everybody!
