Discuss how web media and web-based tools and practices are impacting YOUR work.

Your initial blog post this week:
For your initial post (which counts as your written assignment for this week), reflect on Friedman’s opening chapters from the synopsis as compared to Florida’s article. Two opposing views written more than a decade ago. Who got it right? Are either still relevant? Would you say that the pandemic has changed either point? Is the world of 2021 flat or spiky (or is there another metaphor). Factor in Bostrom’s talk…does his warnings about control align with either Friedman or Florida…or is this evidence of the continued evolution of the web? Before we begin the exploration, we need to surface what your preconceived notions of the impact of the web are on your world.
Your blog post along with the blogs of everyone in the class will automatically feed into the course site (thought there typically is some delay…it is not instantaneous). You should see it and your classmates’ in the Inoreader Portal Page linked below.
Keep in mind as you do your initial post and responses this week’s learning objectives:
Discuss how web media and web-based tools and practices are impacting YOUR work.
Identify ways that an emerging participatory culture on the web is shaping expectations and perspectives in YOUR workplace.
