internet on college culture


In the clip that I previously posted, Wesch refereces back to video he made called "A Vision of Students Today." As he was showing clips form this video, I realized that I had seen it already in another class. It was my public speaking class last semester, and my teacher played this video to help us think a of a school related topic to write a speech on. At the time I was actually very moved by this video because I could relate to all of the statements the students were making. I also found the statistics very  engaging. I had no idea that Michael Wesch was the same person to make both videos. After realizing this, I continued to explore Wesch's youtube channel. I found it inspiring that he has become a famous professor and researcher because of his youtube videos and studies. Before this internet studies class, I had no idea who Michael Wesch was even though I had already been affected by his work. This alone is an example of how the internet and media are constantly intertwined in the college culture.
