This blog is created by students from Clemson University's spring 2009 course Women's Studies 459 - "Building Bodies: Women's Bodies in Theory and Practice." This class explores the construction of bodies from various methodological perspectives, focusing on five specific areas: theories of bodies; bodies and genders and sexes; “misbehaving” bodies; politics of bodies; and constructing bodies. We welcome comments and contributions to our posts and discussions.

Did You Know?



Here is the video that I played during my presentation on Thursday.

I think this video teaches us about our world and the new innovations that are being made. Even though I am aware of the advancements of technology (seeing new computers, cell phones, ipods, etc...) seeing the magnitude of these advancements really blows my mind! I think it is very important to have an idea about the world and events taking place, and this video is a good starting point!

The two most interesting facts of this video I think are:
1. 1 out of 8 couples who marry met online
2. If Myspace was a country if would be the 5th largest
Really I can't believe how much time people spend on the internet nowadays!

    I just watched this video and WOW! I never thought about how much technology has influenced us. What is weird too is that most of us in the class can remember when we didn't have internet, a computer, or cell phones. Now it's hard to imagine our life without them. My sister who is eight years younger than me doesn't ever remember not being able to go on the computer to use the internet. It is kind of strange that her generation is so different even though we are less than 10 years apart.
