I think I can breath a little easier knowing a little more about this unit and about the internet. Its Interesting how the computer has its own language for interpreting and programming new information. Though I don't know it and probably never will, i feel more comfortable about the mystical functions of the Internet. I now understand the technical meaning of 'Open source Software'. Thats when the programme can be created and/or edited by anyone using it e.g me. The wiki programme that we're using is an example of such software. I think that the course won't seem so daunting as I get accutomed to using the programme.
Our group project theme is 'Identity' on the web. I Haven't actually begun to think what issues this raises for me as i don't really have an online identity. This is because i'm weary of the possiblities of fraud and theft, not just financial but intellectual theft. I suppose thats an issue in itself. Our group has taken contact details and will meet for a discussion on friday 19th.
