Ten Years Is A Long Time

Well in ten years I plan to be pretty settled in my life. I would like to be married, and it would be excellent if we had a kid on the way. I'd like to start my family while I'm young enough to enjoy growing up with them. I don't know where you will be able to find me in ten years because I really don't care. I doubt I will be living in a big city, but you have to go where the jobs are. Speaking of work, in ten years I will be moving up the ladder in a prestigious law firm. The type of law escapes me right now, but I plan to be quite wealthy. I would like to be secure enough in my firm that I don't have to still slave away at 100 hours a week, so I will shoot for junior partner by thirty. This is also about the time that I begin designing my dream house. I say dream house because it has always been my dream to build a castle, and this is going to take some serious money.

The Internet, Bringing People Together In Virtual World

I enjoyed the fast-pasted, creative style of the video. It seems appropriate for the digital world that we live in now. The video did a good job showing the evolution of information on the web. Ten years ago the concept of facebook would have been absurd, in the same way I'm skeptical of the second life avatars. Web 2.0 has enabled us to link every aspect of our digital life together, and this can drastically change how we interact in the workplace. Because information can be shared between companies with ease through the ever evolving web, those of us entering the business world must keep up. I don't think that it will be hard for our generation to adapt because we are so used to living our lives through myspace and facebook. It might be a little harder for people like are parents to use the web to help themselves in the business world. I know my parents can't comprehend facebook and are barely able to check their own email. As the web continues to evolve, we will be right there with it, and we will have to rethink how things work. Copyright and patent laws must be rewritten to accommodate a world within the palm of our hands.

Getting Started

Hi, my name is Seth and I'm a senior at Clemson. This is my first blogging experience and I have no clue what to write. I'm a big sports fan, and unfortunately an Ohio State fanatic. I coach high school football and wrestle for the club team at Clemson. I'm sure more about me will come out in class, so that's all for now.
