I waited until the last minute to complete this assignment, because I had no idea what to do when streaming my personal cyber space, my desktop. I thought about what I could do on the computer beforehand – luckily, my desktop folders are usually organized so I didn’t have to clean it up. During this process, I was slightly surprised by how personal our electronic devices were – before, I thought Facebook messages and e-mails were only things I wanted to keep private. However, I felt like every tab I opened, my browser favorites, and applications I have on my computer revealed something small about myself.
When I started streaming, the process was much more easy and fast-going than I expected. I opened some websites, played music, and before I knew it I have already streamed for close to 8 minutes. The last BYE! caption was inspired by jonCates, because I wanted to do something where I could interact with viewers by adding text on the screen.
Overall, this was surprisingly a fun and pleasant experience, and now I feel more confident and open about sharing my cyberspace with the third party.
