Excuses Excuses

"I don't take checks from college students" -- Daria
Smart idea as most of us are broke. When i make that generalization I'm in the hope that others are in the same situation as me. If I had lots of money, I would quit my job - but I don't and therefore I must painfully find time for studies in between shifts, and that is my poor excuse for why my posts have been late/wrong/non-existent. Wah wah wah. Anyway I guess its time to get cracking and catch up with all that has been ignored lately.

I will start with Tutorial Task WEEK 4. I did questions 2a and 2b (see posts below) but skipped question one as I had yet to figure out what exactly I wanted to write my essay on. Now I am heading in the direction of how communication and new technologies affects our once socially acceptable behavior for my topic. This includes things such as language and inter-personal skills. I'm hoping this is a good choice as it interests me and i have even mentioned it in previous blog posts.

Below are my Catalogue and Database searches for Question 1 week 4 tute task:
