What would I like my life to look like in ten years?

I would like to be alive in ten years – living, breathing, and with all my hair. Honestly though, given the bare necessities, in ten years I plan to be successful in the career path I choose (I say ‘career path’ mainly because I have yet to figure out the age old question of ‘what I want to be when I grow up). I hope to enjoy my job – that is very important to me. I hope to look forward to going to work and to be excited and committed to doing my very best. I would also love to have enough free time to play golf frequently and hopefully to fulfill a childhood dream to play the top ten courses in the world.

In regards to my personal life, I hope to be happily married to the woman that always makes me smile, that loves me for who I am, the woman who makes me a better man. I hope to have children, but if not, a wiemerriemer pup will do. I hope to live with my family somewhere in the Piedmont area.

I hope to have traveled the globe in ten years time, having visited London, Scotland, France, Germany, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, and some part of Africa. Traveling the world has always been a dream of mine and, in ten years, I hope to accomplish this dream.

Although this is an abbreviated idea of what I would like my life to be like, I believe it is relatively accurate and on par as to the direction things are currently headed. If I don’t accomplish everything I have listed above in ten years, I won’t be disappointed as long as I have tried my very best.

Web 2.0

The Web 2.o video was very interesting, and I felt like it brought up a lot of good points in regards to the way our culture has, and is continuing to develop with cyberspace. They title of the video, Web 2.o, gives me the impression of one of those old informational videos we used to watch in high school biology classes, "Bio 2.o"; however, this video proved to be much more interesting and a lot more thought provoking.

The video definitely brought up several good points that can be related to someone preparing for the workforce. It brought up the point that everything you put up on the internet can be seen by someone - this is a little bit frightening but a reality. People already in the workforce can relate to Web 2.o as well. As more and more of the business world becomes paperless, the workforce must adapt and continue to educate themselves to further in the digital sense.

As far as one the video's boldest statements, "We will have to rethink everything", I feel the author is fairly accurate. Our culture has to adjust its legislature, business, education, lives, and world to continue to be able to keep up with the ever changing Web 2.o.

a bit about myself....

Hi, my name is David Bleckley. I am a junior majoring in Marketing.

I am from Spartanburg, well north-Spartanburg in the town of Boiling Springs. Growing up I played a bunch of sports and I have continued to play here in intramural. Although I am not outstanding by any means, I enjoy the competition, camaraderie, and friendships involved in sports. My favorite sport is golf.

I'm glad you now know a little about me and I hope to learn more about you as we begin this course together.
