Honestly, I can't even imagine my life ten years from now. Thinking about myself being 30 years old is enough to make me cringe--mostly because I don't know exactly what I want to do with my life, so I have no idea where I will be and what I'll be doing. Hopefully my life will look something like this...
I would like to have finished school, obviously with a degree from Clemson, and hopefully have gone to PT school, or something similar that I can use my background of Health Sciences and where I can help others. By now I hope I would have traveled some, either after grad school, or between getting my undergraduate degree and attending grad school. I hope that my professional career would be well established by now, and I hope it is something that I both enjoy doing and is some work that makes life easier for others.
I hope my personal life would be stable and that I would be happy. By the time I'm 30 I hope that I will have made my own family, with a husband and maybe some kids. I don't really care exactly where we live, but I have always wanted to go back to Philly. Although I don't know exactly what I want or where I will be, I hope that I am happy, keep in contact with those I care about, and am doing something that helps others.

The Machine is Us/ing Us
This video provided a new look, or at least a deeper way to look into the technology that we all use on a daily basis to link ourselves to virtually everything in our world. I think the title of the video (The Machine is Us/ing Us) is supposed to show that we are what comprises the internet and the technology of our generation, but at the same time, the "Machine" is also using us to link information, people, etc. and make the system more complex. As much as we rely on the machine, the machine also relies on us to keep working and growing.
Web 2.0 affects those trying to enter the workforce because now people can be linked to the workforce without even leaving their homes, by doing research on companies and using websites to post their resumes and information. Also, these people are affected because of the ongoing change of the web technology and the requirements to be proficient in these areas.
Web 2.0 affects those who are already in the workforce because these workers will have to stay on top of the latest technology to maintain efficiency.
When the video said that we will have to rethink everything, I think it meant that because the web now links people to information, businesses, and even to other people and possible relationships, we now have to think about almost every aspect of our lives in a different way. We now have a different (and faster) way to be exposed to everything our world has to offer.

Intro
Hi, I'm Kelly Murphy.
I am a junior at Clemson University, and am on the Women's Rowing team. I absolutely LOVE Clemson, although it did take me a little while to get here. After graduating from high school, I attended the University of Connecticut for a year and a half before I transferred to Clemson. I transferred because of the difference in the rowing programs, and also just because I was not happy at UConn--picture a more "middle-of-nowhere" town than Clemson with nothing to do, and add freezing cold weather--it just wasn't for me. BUT I finally made it to Clemson, and I couldn't be happier!
I am from Berwyn, Pa, just outside of Philadelphia, and I love just about everything that has to do with Philly. The summer after I graduated high school ('06), my family moved to Marietta, Ga, so that's where I go on most of my breaks from school, but I don't really know anyone in that area (except my roommate, which was a huge coincidence...).
I have a huge family. I am the second oldest of seven children and I am really close with all my siblings. If you have ever seen the show "7th Heaven" you may be interested to know that the order of boys and girls in my family is exactly the same as the show--even down to twin boys as the youngest--weird, I know. (but don't be fooled, we are nothing like the Camdens...)
So, in a nut shell, I am a very family oriented person who loves hanging out with friends and having fun. I love being outside and abosolutely love to laugh.
