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!

Where are we headed?
In class yesterday we talked about the internet and how it grew into what we now use today 24/7. Talking about Internet Explorer, and Firefox, and the many apps Google now comes with, I started thinking about what's next for the internet. People are using it to get directions, for research, to socialize and it seems like we haven't even tapped into all its possibilities yet. One article I found from The Next Web was called Bill Gates Brilliantly Accurate Predictions for the Internet...in 1995. In 1995, Bill Gates predicted some of the amazing things we could expect from the internet: real time streaming, broadband internet, and collaboration across formats (compatibility between Macs and Windows). So, I started looking more into what we could expect in the future. I found an interesting article from Network World called 10 Foolproof Predictions for the Internet. The internet is actually kind of crazy, there's new stuff popping on every day. Who knows where we'll be in a decade?
