Short note on my final paper

Since I'm home sick today I thought I'd put together a quick note with the points I believe my teacher wants to know today about my final paper in the course 'information retrieval and new new media' that I am taking.

My topic is 'Real Life on the New Web' and it will take a look at how we use the web 2.0 features and how it affects us as people. Of course this might seem as a very broad subject that includes several aspects of how we work as human beings and how the internet works so I will be limiting my paper down to a few, in my opinion, key features of web 2.0 and also limit the areas of how the web affects us.

The sources I will use will mainly be Sherry Turkle's books 'The Second Self: Computers and the Human Spirit' and 'Life on the Screen: Identity in the Age of the Internet'. I will also use the internet as a source of course and quite possibly some of the other literature that can be found on our course wiki, if I find that I need it.

When it comes to structure of the final paper I must say that I have honestly no idea. As of now I have mainly just crammed out text to get to where I want to go with my thoughts surrounding this area and as I happen to be an amateur when it comes to writing these sort of papers I must admit that I am not fully sure what my teacher when he is talking about the structure of the paper. So this is something I will have to talk to my teacher about.

Well that should cover it for now hopefully.
