A culture that contributes to self-reflection- March 21, 2008 I just came across a good interview with Sherry Turkle that, when compared with her general techno-utopianism in Life on the Screen: Identity in the Age of the Internet, is more representative of her increasingly measured approach to the societal effects of new technologies. Her recent assessments are more nuanced and rather satisfying. Our society tends toward a breathless techno-enthusiasm: "We are more connected; we are global; we are more informed." But just as not all information put on.http://www.pixelcharmer.com/fieldnotes/2008/a-culture-that-contributes-to-self-reflection/ He himself liked the variables best- March 5, 2008 From Willard McCarty, Modeling: A Study in Words and Meanings in A Companion to Digital Humanities, ed. Susan Schreibman, Ray Siemens, John Unsworth. Oxford: Blackwell, 2004. Out on site, you were never parted from your plans. They were your Bible. They got dog-eared, yellowed, smeared with mud, peppered with little holes from where you had unrolled them on the ground. But although so sacred, the plans were only the start. Once you got out there on the site everything was different. No matter.http://www.pixelcharmer.com/fieldnotes/2008/he-himself-liked-the-variables/ |
