WK 1 _ Task Reasoning Unit

My specific interest in the Master of Digital Communication & Culture program inclusive of the course Network Societies stretches from its hands-on learning approach to its theoretical understanding. Prevalent in my prior and current professional roles, where Information Technology and its interaction, marketing and online media co-exist in social life and workplaces could benefit from an improved cross-functional, interdisciplinary understanding of network societies supported by its historical make-up.

I contemplate that this subject provides an excellent balance between theoretical and practical skills, and focuses on the nature of interaction within societies where I, as academic and professional will continue to interact and advance. My professional background clusters around the themes of emerging media, publishing, new business set-up, international proprietary information transfer and creative excellence; I am eager to advance my academic knowledge in order to address these practical experiences. My experience in industries – cross-functional – and within interdisciplinary roles shaped me where I’m at right now; I strongly believe that mastering this course will enable me to see the bigger picture within the use of technology and its impact on societies at large. As a seasoned entrepreneur, I am still dazzled by the way technology has changed the manner in which cultures think, speak, interact and ultimately alters our social capabilities. I am an advocate for applied knowledge and research above new knowledge and innovations of which I found that the latter hardly applies due to our ability of inventing something entirely new.

In last week’s lecture we briefly discussed the interrelationships between actors, technology, eco-system, and so forth. I envision that this subject will discuss and exemplify all appropriate interconnected disciplines that pay tribute to the future of network societies.

Therefore, my wish to partake in the subject comes from my strong belief that I will master and ultimately advance the knowledge, and apply this to my current and future professional roles; further strengthen my theoretical knowledge and skills, and provide the tools to prosper at top level management, in which I will shape and reason the way social and professional cultures interact with Digital Technology.
