The first installment for our Personal Research project was the research Document.
My research area was into the effect of Internet and Virtual communites on real life communites.
It has been a very interesting topic to research into, and I have no shortage of material to study.
To be honest the intitial stages of the prject I was not at all enthusiastic about carrying out the research, but the more I read and discovered the more intersesting the subject became.
As a sceptic of internet technologies and virtual living I was surprised to find so much material that followed my negative view on the "techno revolution", but also must admit some arguements for the technology were very strong.

The document itself, I was very pleased with. Still waiting to hear feedback but I hope it is good because I did get alot of the project's first stage. This however does lead to the second stage, and again im not so excited about the prospect.

My artefacts will be video interviews to explore the range of internet use connected to social interaction within the community by people of different ages. I hope to show that the older generations, who are less likely to use the internet heavily, will have more community interaction than the younger generation - who use the internet heavily.

fingers crossed....
