I’ve just been taking another look at NET12 Assignment 2 and it looks like it will be
an interesting one. Based on the comments of the unit tutor, this is sounding like one of
those assignments where the actual content of the essay isn’t as important as the style,
structure and supporting information (i.e. external references etc). I hate
this sort of assigment. It really goes against the way that I work, since I tend to like
to produce original works which are compiled largely of my own ideas and thoughts, and the
content is the important thing, the rest of the elements are just there to support that
message… oh well, welcome back to undergraduate studies.

The topic that my 1000 word essay is on is;

There are many competing stories about the nature and function of the Internet.
What are some of the key assumptions about technology and society informing these
oppositional views of the ‘Net?

so it should be a little interesting at least, but there really is a lot of room for
discussion in that topic, but with only 1000 words, not a lot of it is going to happen.

Due at the end of next week – I guess I’d better catch up with my other readings etc and
then get started on this thing…
