Brainwashing. "Social Media" has been around since 1979. The brave new Social Media world weakens the ability to concentrate and shortens peoples' attention span. "Virtual" friendships replace real-life contacts. Decentralized and anonymous communication is being abolished and replaced by a totalitarian surveillance that would make any intelligence service in history smile. People do not understand their heritage. Poor Internet.

It is also funny that I am barely learning excell, power point and my 13 year old is already on publisher, passed MS word, excell, and powerpoint with flying colors..shes only in middle school and also already relates to some of my courses in Ashford...amazing huh..

I am taking this class and its my 4th course..this is really easy but not when you got a life to juggle with kids, work, home, social life, marriage life and so on...ughh..what I got myself into...

Ok....and your point?

I definitely agree. If I could go back in time, I would've gone to ASU. They have an online college and since its a reputable college I'm sure they're program is legit. Too late for me now since I'm about to graduate from Ashford. It is what it is.

that sounds crazy. If you knew everything you would not be in college. Online is just a way to make the classes and learning more convinent for the user. Evidently Ashford cares about our well being to give a class to either freshen up your skills or challenge what you know. I have a good grade also but it is because I have applied myself. I definitely have been out of college for a while where I had a 3.8, and that was going on to a campus, but I have benefited from this class.

Ashford is for people who do not really want to go to school, I had more difficult classes in high school. If we want a challenge we should definitely pick a different college.

The video actually said that YouTube is the second largest search engine..

Small Business needs social media for its revival, stability, and growth. The blogosphere and peer reviews are the great equalizers giving the smaller enterprise a chance to earn the business and increase visibility vs big biz.

I am a self employed Realtor in Chicago seeking to serve more new clients. Since 1989, I have learned that advertising never could bring enough business to justify the expense. The positive peer review that can be easily found online, is my hope & solution for growth.

I think it's fair to say that people should know the basics on how to use a computer if they're going to take an ONLINE CLASS. Online universities should make people pass a computer literacy exam before starting at the university. I'm just saying...goes to show that, once again, Ashford only cares about making money and not about whether or not their students can succeed. That's why they didn't get certain accredidations - because they have too high of a drop out rate.

I need to go the bathroom now and show #2 who he works for!
