Just a little taste of my TED Talk for my final exam in Communications Theory and Practice! Get excited.
Elia Robertson, Communications minor from Saint Joseph’s University, invites her audience on an interactive journey into the world of Second Life through a hypothetical comparative study that is both thought-provoking and divisive. Enjoy Elia’s emotionally revealing talk as she weaves the parallel stories of a life with and a life without Second Life, and the consequences of each, embodying the possible effects of the virtual world on future generations.

PATHETIC Resume
Okay. Bear with me. I'm only a sophomore this is the first resume I've ever completed. And the point of posting it is to improve on it. Right? RIGHT?
ELIA/TED Talk
Its that time again folks. Finals are around the corner and what better way to wrap up our Communications class than to create a final project around the biggest influence on our class this semester: ladies and gentlemen, the incredible, the spectacular, TED Talk.
I've decided that my sick fixation with Second Life (not the kind of fixation you are thinking, I'm actually terrified its going to take over the world...) should be put to good use. I will be preparing my TED Talk by creating a comparative study: what my life would have been like if I was introduced to Second Life when I was younger, and what my life is like now, just being introduced to it at 19. It may seem a little vague, but I have some key (secret) points that I am going to be touching on that will make this talk not only interesting, but surprising. Get pumped.
As far as my visual images are concerned, I’m still a little unsure about how I’m going to visually convey my study, but I’ll get back to you guys on that one.
