Fortunately for you, on the internet nobody knows you are a dog. Unfortunately for everyone else, the people labeled as experts (read: any fool with a blog) are also not revealed as dogs. Somehow, when people read a well-written blog or grammatically correct passage, they seem to believe its content. It is much akin to the “halo effect” wherein attractive people are trusted more so than others.
Our homework in this class is to learn from guest speakers (considered “experts” in their fields) and write about what we think they said. However, because we have a nice blog site and the legitimacy of the University of Florida supporting our efforts, any unlucky soul who reads my cynical words will also think me an expert.
Hopefully internet users are becoming equally as deft at finding useful information as they are at ignoring faux-info written by college boys like me. Anybody reading this site should know I am neither an expert nor a particularly committed learner; I just like to write and hear what other people have to say about it. I implore you to not believe me just because I have platform from which to speak.
