With the age of information technology upon us, the methods people use to search for information is drastically changing. One of the most influential causes of this change has been the Internet. Information that has historically been difficult to access, or was only accessible to certain individuals, is now available to the general public in a matter of seconds. While the benefits and consequences of the Internet have been widespread, one sector that has been significantly impacted is health care, thanks to newly available medical information. 

 For my final presentation in Nonfiction Prose I compiled all the individual posts of each member of the class, assigned each person a color, and arranged the posts chronologically.  The result was 55,644 words and almost 112 pages, 12 point font.  Assigning each person a color allows the viewer to notice the posting habits of each member of the class, and how we behaved as a whole.  For instance, most members of the class posted in clusters, i.e. make a post, respond to another member of the class.  There were several members of the class who posted regularly and their colors dominate.  It is interesting to contrast the members of class who dominated the online forum and class room, they were rarely the same people.

Our presentation was a sock puppet performance where Kate and I talked about all of the books we read for class. Going through all of the books we read and putting them in a pile showed that we really covered a lot this semester, and I think we, as a class, went in a variety of interesting directions to finally come to the overall idea of stories their importance. The conversation we tried to have with our puppets was our attempt to make connections between everything that we read and watched.
