What caught my attention was that there is so much about cyber-space that I did not even know about. For example, Haraway’s cyborg and how there is this evolution of female values and ideals that relate directly back to cyber-space. This has empowered me to not “shy” away from new technologies. I now want to learn how things work and know that I do not have to live up to that “feminine ideology”, I think women are people too and that they have the responsibility of a human being not as the “care giver”, “house wife”.
Another area that caught my eye was that there is so much to the Internet that I don’t even know. I think I am a little naive when it comes to what is on the Internet and the new tools that are available on there. I think by being forced to blog, now I know how to do it and now what it is about; therefore, when people talk about it I know what it is. Among other areas of the net such as second life and MUD’s.
I also will take with me a different view of sociology, and how people communicate and live their lives in cyber-space.
