It's so interesting to look back in time and see how things change, how far we've come and to laugh about the things that concerned society so much at a particular time in history and yet never came to pass. <br /><br />@nom de plume, I also thought they'd like the Journal entry better, but I guess that little extra connection to those around them meant a bit more, and I can certainly understand that given our discussions in class on the importance of linking to sense of community to solidify a sense of belonging and personal fulfillment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708293341776725992.post-50115675715907192732012-08-17T20:54:17.583-06:002012-08-17T20:54:17.583-06:00I thought it was interesting to see that your pare...I thought it was interesting to see that your parents were more excited to see their anniversary posting in the Westlock news than the Edmonton journal. It makes perfect sense even though this would be more routine to see themselves in it rather than having a bit more novelty in the Edmonton Journal. It made me consider some of the discussions in class regarding ownership and how we link ourselves to our local communities.

I vividly remember the whole Y2K thing, it kinda freaked me out when I was ten because of how hyped up it was as a global catastrophe waiting to happen! <br /><br />It is so interesting how something as simple as a newspaper can chronicle events in your life and trigger memories. It was amusing to see the computer article, the specs on that model are almost as bad as the price!!! It is so amazing how far we have come technologically!kuhcnelysawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02127164016225754396noreply@blogger.com
