The homepages that are avaialable tend to lure the reader to search on to find information about the topics at hand including Traffic Psycology, Cyber Psychology and Spiritual Psychology. A brief summary is given of the three areas of interest.

(ii) The beige background with black letters made the eye more at ease when reading this page. This is an informative summary page.


2. Address

(i) Dr. James makes himself most accessable to the netizen by displaying his email, phone number and web address on a bright baby blue background. Happy faces welcome the viewer and encourage a friendly encounter. A family crest is also displayed at this point where it seems that Dr. James attempts to share more of himself with the visitor, letting himself be known one step further. A visitor counter is displayed, I was visitor number 246 when I journeyed here.

(ii) I did not bother to leave any reactions at this site due to the fact that this is my homework assignment. Yet it was nice to know that Dr. James is easily accessible. I really liked the happy faces!

(ii) I felt overwhelmed after viewing this site. Being visitor 535, I wonder to myself if any of the previous viewers were able to make it through all of the 270 links? Not in one sitting, that's for sure.


4. List of Publications

(i) At this point we reach a chronological biography of the works completed by Dr. Jame. Each work is a clickable link that lures the netizen to further knowledge of the area of interest. It is apparent that Dr. James has an explosive background in Psychology. His background ranges from language studies to social psychology. It is apparent that a large part of our instructors field has dealt with an emphasis on communication.

(ii) The List of Publications is a great site. This could be used as a great reference area for research. Wouldn't it be interesting if people with home pages showed there life experiences in this way. You could really get a sense of knowing someone.

(ii) The purpose of this location seems to be to help future generations to better understand the Generational Curriculum. Each generation learns from the last, and this is how we can continue to improve our work.


6. Swedenborg Home Page Hawaii

(i) Ever wonder who this Swedenborg character is that Dr. James continues to reference in his writings. This is where you can finally find out! Apparently he was an 18th century scientist who turned theologian. It seems that he was involved with important discoveries, such as the big bang theory. Later in his life he turned to the spiritual aspect of investigations. It is rare to come accross a scientist who incorporates spirituality into his work.

(ii) This is no ordinary point of view, as neither is Dr. James' site. The views of Swedenborg were out of the ordinary for people of his time, and probably for some of the people of today. Yet he kept to his beliefs and strengthened himself in this way. Psychology has a great hand in life in this aspect.


7. Dr. Driving Says...

(i) Dr. Drivings involvement with road rage is the focus of this site. Various interviews are noted that Dr. Driving had previously participated in. At some points, Dr. Driving incorporates some of his own experiences into his work. He realized at one point that he was a bad driver. This led to seeing that only YOU can work on cleaning up the problem of road rage.

(ii) Coming across this site could be of benefitial development to a novice driver. Knowledge and awareness appear to be some of the keys to healthy driving skills.


8. Explore this Site with Tour Guides

(i) I felt as if I were traveling through time. Being able to see all of the work of previous students gave me confidence to continue my work. Some sites were of particular interest, such as that making reference to graphics.

(ii) This is a most helpfull tool in getting the most out of what Dr. James has to offer. A wealth of information can often remain lost unless a route is given to obtain it. This seems to be a working map for Generations to further their knowledge.


9. Traffic Psychology

(i) Did you ever wonder where traffic psychology emerged from? Or how about, what are the basic principles of traffic psychology are? You can find answers to questions like these at this site. It is brought to the attention of the netizen that self wittnessing behavior leads to an increased personal awareness that can help deter traffic problems. I found the list of irrational ideas during driving to be particularly amusing. I have often thought some of those same thoughts, such as traffic is heavy when I am in a hurry.

(ii) There is more to Trafic Psychology than meets the eye. Who would have thought that there is such a large amount of information lying beneath a topic that is so new to our society. The issues can be addressed in depth at this point of cyber space.


10. Cyber Psychology

(i) Thoughts within the human mind are found to be similar to the traveling of information along the internet. It is via group work that the on-line community thrives into a more knowledgeable group.

(ii) It was a nice to see the seven generational home pages available to click on at this site. The clickable table of contents and index made it easy to locate information of interest to the viewer.


11. Spiritual Psychology

(i) The cyber surfer is further introduced to Swedenborg. The main idea of his theory appears to deal with the incorporation of science and spiritual outlooks. Swedenborg acknowledges the existence of both fields and feels that the two work together to give the world what it has today. Dr. James expands his interpretations of Swedenborg's outlook of human physiology and cyberspace.

(ii) The yellow-orange background accompanied by red and black fonts welcome the visitor to a warm and relaxing setting. There is an immense amount of information here, so I recommend that you put aside a good amount of time to review this page. It is interesting, yet time consuming as most of our work is.


12. Daily Round Archives

(i) Before the existence of the internet, the Generational Curriculum existed via student research gathered together in bounded volumes. At this destination it is possible to access some of the early works of the Generational Curriculum along with a clickable listing of articles relating to the "DRA" that are accessible via the web.

(ii) I visited Ginger Andrews summary page of the DRA's that she was responsible for editing. The information she had was from 1977, it was interesting to view. I must say that some of the formats she used to share the Generational information was confusing to me. It could have been that I felt rushed to just continue on with this assignment?!?!?!


13. Social Psychology of Home Page Architecture

(i) Investigating this site enables the viewer to better understand Dr. James passion for the internet. It is possible to further understand the function of links and home pages through this site, along with other technical aspects of building home pages on the internet. Links are generously provided by Dr. James as added convenience to understand all that he is trying to get accross to the guest of his site.

(ii) This site of the journey is enlightening as many of Dr. James' sites are. The initial clickable table of contents allows the visitor to manuever to particular areas of interest without scrolling through all that has bee provided. My only complaint here would be the lack of back to the top links that are often found at the end of a section specified by the table of contents.
