We have only
two more readings to go! One is by world famous
author William Gibson, who was the first writer to popularize the term "cyber-space." We will read his short story “The Winter Market.” The second is “Our Digitally Undying Memories” by Siva Vaidhyanathan, an Associate Professor of Media Studies and Law at the University of Virginia.. He is reviewing, mainly, a book on the impact of the Interenet on our consciousness. The book is Delete: The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age by Viktor Mayer-Schönberger.An additional requirement of this week's discussion is supporting your points by quoting from the text. I want to make sure you know how to do this. It will help you on the final and in future courses.On Friday of this week, I will post your final exam as well as the last quiz. The quiz will be due Tuesday, June 1, since Monday is a holiday. The final exam will be due Friday, June 4. During the last week of class we'll have a Week 8 discussion where we’ll discuss the final and where you can post parts of it if you’d like feedback. |
