I've been to my virtual world class twice now and it's completely different from what I'd thought it'd be. I expected a virtual world class to be about engaging in virtual communities and learning how to create our own virtual world. This could partially be because I'm a huge gamer and the words "virtual world" clicked like a game in my mind. But it's still as fun as I'd thought it'd be. We learned about the impact the internet has had on society as well as a little about the people who have made such impacts. I'd like to learn more about the virtual world itself more than those who created it because the digital realm has always interested me. I love how technology works and greatly appreciate how out technology keeps improving exponentially each year. It's important to understand the importance of the creators who have participated in making the internet and world wide web the way it is now, but personally I'd rather learn more about how the internet has developed over the years in this class.
