Lab 2 Post

Chapter 2 of Natural-Born Cyborgs





Infoport





        Many neat ideas are presented in this chapter. The idea of transparent vs. opaque technology stands out the most. I found it interesting how certain technologies adapt so well to our way of life while others require a little more input from the user. As technology becomes easier to use, it also blends easier into our society. I feel that with the way technology is going, that in the future nearly all technology will be transparent, and that because of this we will have a massive amount of information at our finger tips.

The Library of Babel

The Library of Babel

This was an interesting read as it was different from anything else that I have read. It is interesting how the author explains in such depth the structure of the library, as well as people's existence. This piece was very confusing in sections and required a closer read. This could have been done on purpose to help convey the authors overall message that things are what we perceive them to be.
