A big THANK YOU!!!!

A huge thank you to everyone who commented on the images I put up. This has been very helpful to me. I've been putting together the responses and I'm going to make some new work based on what's been said.
I'll also take on board the comments from tutors, although their suggestions and responses have been very different to the information I've gathered through this experiment, so I'm not sure how that's going to work out. Infact, they've pretty much said the opposite. Also, the feeling I get from the tutors is that they don't see any real merit in this blog and I've also gathered that they think that it only exists as something for my friends to read, which I find hilarious. I see my friends all the time, why on earth would they bother reading this when it's full of things I've either already told them or they were part of anyway. As you can see I am a bit disheartened at the moment. Someone who was interested in doing the course next year asked me about it today and, although I did mention the good points, I didn't exactly hold off on the bad points either....

But it's not all bad, here are a few of the interesting things I've found out during my time on the course so far:
*Xerox invented the first computer but didn't realise it's potential and did nothing with it (Duh!) (found out at a lecture)
*Dr.Moulton Marston, who invented Wonder Woman, also invented the lie detector. (found out while researching an essay)
*He also had children with his wife and with his mistress, but they all lived together happily. In the 40's. (found out while researching an essay)
*Research Into Lost Knowledge Organisation Trust (found out at a lecture)
*Neat interactive programming here: http://www.flong.com/ (found out at a lecture)
*Overseas students pay double what we pay to do the course, and there are no grants for them. Glad I'm not in that situation.

I'm finding this blog pretty essential reading. Don't stop.
