Blog Assign 2

How have you used information/communication technologies over the course of the past 2.5 days -- since snow began falling on Sunday. How has the ubiquity of the Internet changed your behavior? In other words, in some pre-Internet storm/event ... how did you communicate? How did you learn about the storm/event?

That is a very good question. I checked email, and weather reports, and made my driving desisions accordingly. Now I have learned that was a mistake. They were always wrong! Could I have done without? Sure. Now I think I will know how it will be, but I still don't. So I think I can plan, when really, we still have no clue. It was supposed to snow yesterday but all I got was RAIN. Sigh.

pre-Internet? Um.... I was in middle school, I asked my mom. Then I went play in the snow. I don't know how she found out. TV? Radio? Called the school?
