Despite the title, this is a class blog for Introduction to New Media/Participatory Media held during the Summer of 2011 at Fordham University, Rose Hill Campus, in the Bronx. But we all agree that pizza with olives is quite tasty indeed!

butterflyyy.
The butterfly effect is theory that claims a small change in one object or place could lead to a larger change in another object. For instance, a small change such as the flapping of a butterfly’s wings could lead to larger consequences such as a hurricane or tornado in another part of the world. Though the theory was originally discovered by a meteorologist, it has been used in science fiction scenarios such as time travelling. Interestingly, this theory was incorporated into the 2004 movie “The Butterfly Effect” starring Ashton Kutcher. I think this theory is fascinating because it raises many questions about how the world functions. It also shows how the smallest change in an object could cause unexpected chaos. The movie wasn't too bad either.
