One thing I learned from this course was the filter bubble. Not only did I learn from the book, but I actually learned that we are being pushed into a bubble created by what Google and other search engines define us to be. I never knew that the internet judges us by our previous searches and personalizes our future searches by what they think we may want to see.

I also learned about databases. I never knew that there could be so many resources of research in the school library’s website. I always thought that there was always a book for everything, but now I know that I can do my future research online and also use scholarly journals subscribed from the school.

Another important thing I learned about what how technology is really growing in front of our eyes without us even realizing. I knew that we have evolved through computers throughout the years but this class put into perspective on how much smart phones, tablets, and soon to be Google Glass are developing before our eyes.

One thing I wish we would have learned was maybe a little more about different kinds of information and how it affects society. We learned about obtaining information and how society is reacting to new technology but maybe more discussions on to what exactly society was like before the new technology and how it affects people over the world besides only Japan. It would be interesting to discover how third world countries are trying to adapt with technology or to see if hey have any technology at all
