Jeff Kupiza: “I’m a Student for Philosophy and a fan of chat rooms! I used to spend hours a night trying to find people to talk with on the Internet, but I got sick of getting spammed by guys only interested in trying to get me to flirt and cyber with them. I even didn’t understand what are the codes for an intelligent discussion and how do I find the right people.After finishing the course, I could easily moderate sites and forums and finally found friends with whom I can talk. Thank you very much for a wonderful course!” |

Description of course: Digital writing Internet text messages is coming increasingly mobile and language encourages playful and creative use of language as a result of technical constraints of the medium. During this course we will examine the ways in which we transmit messages and discuss new media, we point on the “Reynaud term changes” in light of the various norms and skills that require application of medium and us as we recognize unique characteristics: age, gender and different cultures.
