Hiya :) My name's Annie and I'm currently doing my bachelor in the
Animal Health program at the University of Alberta
Sundown on Mt. Mariepskop, South Africa :D I'm the bright green one.
I'm not a complete
tech-illiterate but I'm definitely not a computer person either. I didn't
create an email account until Grade 9 and I didn't get a cell phone until high
school. I was slow on getting Facebook and was bugged at constantly to download
Skype. However, these mediums do make it easier for me to connect and share pictures and
information with my friends especially when keeping in touch
with international friends. I can appreciate those who use these mediums to
market products, raise awareness, inform and persuade but it bothers me sometimes that
others seem to view it as a method of parading themselves. It seems to
encourage people to become more self-centered and ignorant. But that
is just my opinion :) Kendra's post demonstrates another way social media can be used within a medical profession, which is quite interesting so check her blog out!
You know times
have changed when social-media based courses are being offered at high schools
while high schools in my time banned Facebook and MSN use.
