MY DISSERTATION

I haven't really had the time to focus on my dissertation, however over the Christmas period I hope to develop a solid idea.

I believe that the best route at the moment is to continue from last years Essay based on post modernism and the development of different era's on film/moving image.

Through inspiration from the design future brief I feel that I could tackle a broader area, for example the effect of different era's such as modernism / post modernism / pseudo modernism on technology and society.

So here are potential essay questions:

"How has society reacted to the development of different technologies over the last 100 years?"

"Compare contemporary technologies with past technologies, how have we adapted as a society?

"Technology is improving everyday, how do you see this affecting society in the future?"

A good way to tackle these question is to look at the history and effect of technologies on society .

Not a bad starting point, I am generally interesting in this so I am glad to say I will be writing about something I am truly inspired by.

of topic of this post...but just to reply to your question on my blog-

It's registered with Streamline.net, who also handle my hosting. It was a package deal. I really recommend them, they are one of the cheapest I found, have an excellent support system, and ftp services are included.

Yes, my site is all flash, although I'm thinking of changing it to html/css as soon as I have the time.
