As I look back upon the lectures, the readings, and the course in general, I can see a few themes and overall messages that the material conveys. One theme that I think the material conveys is that although the porn industry appears to be a somewhat shunned and taboo part of society, it is in fact behind some of the major technological advances of the century. Also I think a theme is that the Pornography industry and the Cyber Pornography Industry can be used for both good and bad intentions.
This class was definitely one I will remember. Its fresh and modern material made it very interesting. I enjoyed the blogging aspect of it as I’m sure many students have. It is fitting in today’s world of internet advancements that an entire course can be successfully taught online, with hundreds of participants. I really enjoyed partaking in virtual discussions about modern and newsworthy topics with fellow students. It was very interesting participating in a living breathing society of people discussing their views on various topics. I think I learned a lot about how deeply rooted porn is in our culture. It was truly beneficial to my college experience.
