Essay Progress

So I thought it would be appropriate to blog my progress for our essay. From my previous posting, I advised I was going to persue question number two. After several hours of research...I found many creidble sources on what cyberspace is (and its concept) however was finding it quite difficult to answer part b of the question (being is it still relevant to contemporary society). Therefore after feeling quite bamboozled and getting a lack of reliable sources to persue this area..I have decided that I will switch to my original pondering of question 3. I looked into this question again (about the internet allowing providing the 'tools of production' for everyday computer users to produce content of a fair standard)and found the idea of amateurs vs proffesionals/highly skilled people producing digital content, easier to understand, research and devlop a strong arguement which I could relate to. I am going to persue the idea of citizen journalists (especially in the creative area of blogging) vs professional journalists online, and how the internet has provided every day people with the ability to have their work published, recognized and participate in the journalistic arena.

Back to square one and the research process!
