Writing For Multimedia - 24/7/2007 wk2

In today's class, we discussed a person's opinion on the use of the internet. We also watched an application presentation on the predicted evolution of the internet til 2014. We then dicussed brainstorms on the Second Life project and sorted ourselves into groups to work on a partcular facility. I chose a Sports Stadium along with Waseem.
