Part 1
As I reflect upon myself as a tool user, I would like to think that I am above average when it comes to my abilities to use multimedia technologies. Knowing this, I can fit perfectly into the chart displayed by Selber. I am a user of the tools, not a creator. Computers are the main multimedia technology that allow people to be the creators as well as the users, but more over less, I use the computer and their sites versus creating them. Cell phones are another multimedia device that supports Selbers argument. Constant use of my cell phone is imperative, but when it comes to creating anything on it, count me out.
I would like to improve my creator skills. I have a lot of interest and hobbies, but when it comes to showing that on the internet its not at its best. When myspace was popular, changing the layout of a webpage was as easy as 1-2-3 of me, but as more complicated sites are created, such as facebook, the ability to personalize is becoming harder. Technology becomes more and more complex, and I think that as time goes on, some individuals will stay users, but there will always be a select few that are naturally creators.
