Don't worry, it's not Slim Shady. Hey everyone, my name is Shaun Persaud and I am currently in my third year at Hunter. I am a Media and English major and I am very excited about this class. The way I see it, Technology is my Religion and the Internet is my God. I'm somewhat of a tech nerd, so the internet is very much a big deal to me- it's indispensable. The possibilities for the internet are boundless, and with every new breakthrough, society is reshaped. The things that we are now able to do with the power of the internet, like control every facet of your home with the smartphone in your pocket, or stream music from the internet to your car, or even the seemingly hyperbolic theories of Singularity and Artificial Intelligence that become more and more plausible every year, are astounding. The internet has become ubiquitous within society. It is the present and the future and it is something I care about very deeply. I'm looking forward to this class, it should be a great semester.

(For anyone interested in AI and what it can do when combined with the power of the internet should check this out. It is an interview with the renowned Professor and Scientist of Cybernetics, Kevin Warwick, in which he explains his experiments that allowed him to put his nervous system online in order to control a robotic arm on another continent, and many other things that would be possible should society continue to pursue such endeavors.)
