In ten years

It's hard to say where I'll be ten years from now. I hope whatever it is I'll be happy.

Hopefully I'll have graduated from Clemson University in 4 or 4 and a half years possibly go on to grad school in business or marketing.

I know after college and before work I'd like to do some mission work abroad. Right now I think that I'll be in south America for a couple years, but I'm not positive, but with my language skills it looks like something south of the border.

I'd like to have a wife and maybe a couple years of marriage out of the way. By this time in my life I hope I have traveled a good bit. Maybe my wife and I will be living in Seattle or Northern California. I'd like to have kids eventually so maybe a kid or two on the way, but I wouldn't mind waiting a little longer before having children. I really want to live a little before our lives are all about another life.

I would be nice to have a job that didn't tie me down to a certain part of the country/ long hours. I'd like to do something where I traveled with my wife, and could be creative. I don't really want my job to define me. I know it's natural for older men to talk about what they do for a living, but I don't know if that will ever interest me. So a goal for a job would be something that pays well enough to live comfortably and something that interests me enough to not to hate waking up in the morning.

In ten years I hope that I am happy and doing what ever I find fulfilling.

Digital Ethnoligy

Web 2.0

Digital ethnology is a very appropriate title to this video. Ethnology is the combination of technology and the word ethos which refers to people. The internet is made and updated by people. Anyone who is entering the work place would benefit greatly from being familiar with the web and how its works and changes. Rethinking everything is something that we have do every so often to keep up with the changes.
I’ve never really thought about how the internet worked. The Code and language on the internet is very fascinating.
Information to anything you could imagine is online. Truth, lies, things for sale, games and even potential girl friends are just examples of things you can find.
The purpose of the internet is to make things easier for people, and to continue to make things easier in the future. It’s always changing and growing/ getting better.

introduction

My name is Rob, and my last name is not Destiny. Robie Destiny is my SL name and I really liked it. I’m a sophomore marketing major from Greer, South Carolina.

I like doing most things outside such as mountain biking, kayaking, both snow and water skiing, and a recent favorite snowball fighting. I really like going to concerts and seeing live music. I recently have become a big fan of Asheville, North Carolina because of the music scene.

I really love being here at Clemson. I have made some wonderful friends and have learned a lot about myself in the process.

See you in second life.

Rob
