Cyber Culture Introduction:

As I began to read the introduction and to note all the different stages being depict, I immediately knew this was going to be another assignment that would require me to read multiple times before fully comprehending the authors point.

Technology has developed a lot in a short time. Universities are taking advantage of the progressed technology. Classrooms no longer only exist within a building. Students and professors engage in virtual classrooms while their locations may be countries apart.

While technology has reached a point never imagined before, Silver does not believe it has reached its peak in development. Silver also points out that Internet Studies is merely an infant within the scholarly world. The growth, use, development, and discipline of Internet Studies are relatively new.

Although Silver lays out the stages within cyber studies, he also states that he does not believe one method is better than another. Silvers introduction shows the importance for the growth and development within cyber studies. To develop this field further it will take much experience, creativeness, and determination.

After reading Silver’s view I agree with him for the most part. I think because of the constant developments and upgrades within technology, that it will be a long while before Cyber Studies is not seen as young. How can the area of study become established/disciplined when the structure it uses has not yet reached full potential?
