william couch

My name is William (informally Bill) Couch and this is my new site. I am a student at the University of Michigan, double majoring in Communications and Screen and Arts Cultures. Fascinated by today’s pop culture and technological progression, I frequently find myself relating my studies with these concepts, so here you will be finding entries incorporating theories from communications, film and others with the changes happening in our cultural and technological landscape. I am immensely intrigued by the development and changing face of Web 2.0, including sites like Flickr, del.icio.us, digg and Rollyo. Further, as a college student, I find the Facebook to be the single most important and interesting tool for college students since the incorporation of the internet with students’ lives. As such I am amazed at how it is changing the way our youth culture is interacting with one another (and wasting their precious free time). Currently, I am in the progress of writing a theoretical study for my Communications 381 class, investigating the Facebook’s usage and effect among college students.

However, I won’t be blogging just about these topics. I am an avid photographer and will be spotlighting my favorite photos from my Flickr photostream at the top of the site. Additionally, you’ll find entries on other interests of mine in the Music and Personal (with more to come) Categories at right.

So stop on in every once and a while, that is if you can stray away from the RSS feed, and welcome to williamcouch.com.

[Please pardon formatting and layout issues with the site. I am fairly new to Web Design and I will be making continuous improvements to this site in the days and weeks to come.]
