      Coming back to the idea of authorship. "'Reads'" is quoted as such since the computer is scanning the information, but it doesn't understand what it's scanning (or so we think).

    2. social network site. What is of interest to the user in the latter case maynot so muchbethe file itself, but the social life the file lets them, the user,have.

      We all have some form of social media, but I never considered it a file that can store things, too!

    1. universal connection,

      But we can't connect with everyone. How is that influencing or mental and emotional well-being? Talked about how people aren't as intimate nowadays as they used to be because of this in last blog

    2. corporate parents offering various images of server racks, cooling and power technology, or even their meeting rooms, all for wide dissemination and republishing
