Introduction

Greetings all!

My name is Seline Taylor and I am a first year student at Griffith University. I am studying a Bachelor of Communication for the time being, however, due to an astounding moment of revelation which rendered my future career goals startling clear, I will soon be transferring into a double degree in both Business and Communication.

Yes, yes, it is indeed exciting stuff.

But why the addition of Business, you ask? Well, because I was finally prepared to admit to myself that business knowledge might be kind of, sort of, maybe just a liiiiiiitttle bit necessary in just about every career I had ever considered. Quite frankly, the word is basically built on business, isn't it? So why shouldn't I gain a qualification in it?

But be that as it may, I digress. I am, after all, supposed to be introducing myself!

So, firstly, and importantly. My name is Seline. Read it again. Now, spell it in your head or write it down if you must, just don't forrget it. So, it's Seline, okay? With an S not a C, not like the singer you hear belting out 'My Hear Will Go On' when poor Leo dies in Titanic. And not with an A at the end so its spelled Selina or Selena like the Disney Princess turned Pop Rock Princess turned sultry Spring breaker Selena Gomez. No, no, no. There is an E at the end. My name is Seline. If you get all that then we can be friends :)

Anyway, now that you have probably gathered that I am just a tid bit sensitive when it comes to my name, I shall move on. This blog is not about me, it is about the absolute and utter Wonders of New Communications Technology.

Over the course of this semester, I shall embark on a magical journey of discovery as I delve deeper into the fantastically interesting world of New Communications Technology and learn all about the instigation, implementation and impacts of these new technologies. I shall try my hand at using some of these new communication means and also attempt to investigate their effects on society both domestically and internationally.

So join me, if you will, in my quest for greater knowledge and we shall explore this brave new digital world together!
