How do you assign the inanimate (or animate!) objects in your life value? Pick an object in your life that that you've assigned a specific value to. Answer the following questions about that object.
--What is your relationship with this object? Be as specific as possible. (Consider what exactly is a relationship before answering this question.)
--What are your attitudes or feelings towards this object? The objects in our life can have a positive or negative impact on our lives. How exactly?
--Is there a financial cost to owning or using this object?
--Is there a social or personal cost of having (or not having!) or interacting, with this object? Think about how this object affects you and those around you. Does the social or personal cost outweigh the financial cost?
--Can you remember your life before this object entered into your life? (This question asks you to think about how exactly your life was before this object entered into your life.)
--Can you envision your life after this object no longer serves any purpose in your life?
In the world of user-generated content, each one of us is capable of becoming an overnight sensation. As we observe, discuss, and analyze Web 2.0, we will start to unravel what it means to live in Web 2.0. But mostly—as this is above all a writing course—from the first day of class, we will compose an exploration of the many forms and types of media that make up our daily experiences. In doing so, we will compose a living record of the what it means to create and compose in Web 2.0.
