My name is Cody Foust, I am a 22 year old senior at Texas State University. My major is Psychology with a minor in Mass Communication’s and I will graduate in May. I grew up on the third coast in Padre Island Texas and went to Flour Bluff High School. My plan after graduation is like every other graduating senior, pray for a job. My ideal job would be working for an action sports company, doing promotions, advertisement, and PR. Companies like Fuel Tv, Mastercraft, Gravity skateboards, or any sport relating around water would be perfect.
The history of the internet video was eye opening in the fact that the internet was developed by college students that sall a need and filled it. Not only did they fill a need, but ended up forcing itself into a relm that was reserved for greased hair, pinned striped suit’s, telephone operators, and advertisement brought to you in a large brown box. The bearded, the baby face, and the college atmosphere of flower power were all intergrated into a common goal of redesigning the way the world moved. Before coming to the realization of the open network, built and used by it’s own participants it was hard to picture the idea of infinity. What those orginial 4 computers did was create an ever changing, never ending, living and breathing organism that would leave Darwin questioning his thoughts on evolution. The creation of email, tool bars, and HTML have paved the super highway for the spyder web to keep twisting and expanding. The video’s we watched in class showed how we as humans must catch up to the living beast that was created only 40 years ago. How we are connected and how we must learn the new avenues to reach our audience is the next endevour. The internet turned newspaper’s into the past, commericials into a fast forward button, and radio into a satelite. The video’s in class helped showed the changing dynamics of the work place, social interaction, and how we must adjust or be left out like newspapers, tv, and radio.
