My topic for the internet was about the role it played in the recent government upheavals in Egypt and Tunisia, which was completely fascinating. It was so cool to see the internet, which a lot of people condemn for all its flaws, be able to help a country overcome totalitarian regimes. The internet effectively helped them gather groups for protests, spread information about the cause, etc. We spent a long time on all these different topics, which I really enjoyed. Everyone got to talk and share their opinion -and I'll admit it, I have an opinion on everything. When I get bored, I talk. It's a flaw. - This was definitively one of my favorite sections of the entire semester. It was so cool hearing about all these different things on varying subjects all related to the internet. Everything from medicine to dating to overthrowing crazed governments.
Also, I learned that one of my great aunts is on the dating site 'Christian Mingle' and is legitimately meeting cool men her age. I'm not sure how I feel about this, but it's extremely entertaining.
