Hello Readers,
This will be my last blog for a while. I plan to write again
at some point but not on a weekly basis. These last few weeks I hope that you
have enjoyed my postings and have learned a lot from them. I hope you learned a
lot about media convergence, citizen blogging, crowd-sourcing, branding, and
children/teens and using emerging media. One day when I teach communication
courses, I hope to use this blog as an example for my students. As I end this chapter
of my blog for now, I would like to recommend a movie that I have recently watched
with my husband. The movie is called Disconnect. It is a great movie for all communication
professionals to watch. The film talks about how we are so connected online;
however, we are so disconnected with the people around us. The film follows the
lives of several families that are somewhat destroyed via cellphones and
computers. This movie is a wonderful film about technology and human
relationships. The last blog that I posted concentrated on children and young
teen adults and the pros and cons of them using technological devices. The
movie Disconnect definitely demonstrates a teenager that has his life turned
upside down because of mobile phones and the internet. The movie also shows how
teenage bullying can go too far with the help of digital devices. As I have
stated previously, technology is not all bad; however, if we become too
consumed by it, it can destroy us. Both adults and children need to learn
boundaries and establish limits when it comes to using digital devices. As you
will see and find out, if you watch the movie, people that are sucked in and
become addicted to technology tend to lose control of their own lives. If you
want to learn more about the movie before renting or buying, please check out

Thank you for reading my blogs. Please check back periodically
for new postings.
