So far, a lot has been learned this year even though I have the same teacher and have learned his philosophies in the previous years. But the most important item of knowledge that I have taken away as of this time in the year, wasn't from him. It was Roy Christopher and other Internet Giants that we had the honor to speak with via Blackboard. The incredible experience broke the generational boundary and made that point, "That my generation isn't careless, isn't snotty and spoiled, and is appreciative of the new technology and desirous of learning it to a full understanding." So many people in my senior class that are enrolled in Dr. Preston's Ap Literature course wrote how important they felt, "Program or be Programmed" was to them. This demonstration we made to Roy Christopher and the rest told them that there is hope in us, we're not all what everyone says we are. We are not all what Louis C.K. says we are. However, he is, to my understanding, entirely right about everyone's unhappiness. We should all take a step back, and actually look at the new horizon we've reached. Otherwise we can't, no matter which generation, appreciate this advancement.
