Week 8 - Article Disagreement 2
One disagreement I have with this journal I looked at is the extent to which the author believes that virtual interaction doesn’t ‘necessarily’ challenge face to face relationships. Whereas I think that there is a change where students will become more inclined to use online interaction compared to IRL because of the convenience of it all. As we have discussed in previous blogs, I maintain there is a large impact from online interaction which effects meat space communication. However, the journal is from 2000, which is nearly a decade ago; therefore the effects may not have been as apparent.

Yes, nearly a decade ago (it takes at least 6 months to get into print in an academic journal -6 minutes for a blog!) things were VERY different. Most students on this course didn't have their own computer until they came to university -and then they couldn't find a file if they dropped it in the wrong folder!
