Blog post for week of January 18th

Ten years sounds far from the present to most, but I don't fall in the category. To me, ten years will have come and gone before most will even notice. I will be 31 years old by that time, which I plan to be married with atleast two children. While still fairly new to the company that employs me, I plan to be somewhere in the managerial build-up of the firm. Not only will this allow me to spend time with my family, but also provide them with a more comfortable and pampered lifestyle. My future house will most likely be somewhere in the south, just becuase I believe it gives off more of a feeling of pride and togetherness than up north. Some things go like you plan, eventhough most don't.

The Machine is Us/ing us...

I found the video to be rather interesting in that it really challenged the normal everyday way of thinking not only in terms of English but communication as a whole. The title was sort of confusing at first because the music from the first half of the video was a bit harsh, but when I really got a chance to get into the information it was pretty cool. Agreeing with the author, I really do believe this to be true. Not only are computers replacing humans in the workplace, but they are doing it with our help!!! Those able to understand and use the web 2.0 sort of get a jump on the competition in a competitive sense because as long as you have some kind of clue as to what you are looking for, their should be no problem finding it. I really think those unfamiliar with the service or computers in a whole for that matter will suffer for the simple fact of being outdated. This will indeed change the way the world looks at things because no longer will we go on assumptions, when we can meet new people and learn new things on the web.

A Little Info on Me

Hey there,

My name is Jeremy Richardson, and I'm a current Junior attending Clemson University. I'm a twenty-one year old Capricorn, born December 29, 1987 in Columbia, South Carolina. I grew up in a strong two parent household with one older brother. He graduated from Clemson last Spring semester, so now I don't have a choice but to do the same. Clemson has always been the college for me since I was young, it was also the only school that I applied to out of high school. I like basically all types of animals except snakes. Sports are the love of my life, mainly baseball and basketball. I lettered in both varsity sports during my freshman year of high school. I like learning new things about people from different backgrounds and places, because not only does it make you more aware of your own blessings that are taken for granted, but I feel that it gives you a more diverse outlook on life.
