Week 8 Summary
Being the first week of block 3 I obtained the readings and had a brief look at them but have been significantly distracted by finishing the ethnography. A lot of my learning this week has happened in the ‘real world’ and I do not feel I have reflected the significance of this in my lifestream. The opportunity to ‘invite a friend’ has led to some motivating conversations with colleagues and friends. This has turned out being an industrious stage in my course journey as I have been conducting some of my studies within a social circle that functions quite dependently around ‘conventional’ communication and wishes to believe it shy’s away from cyberculture, technology and posthumanities.
A few tweets have fed into my lifestream. Previously, finding it awkward to follow conversations in twitter I have had reservations over whether it would be a chosen means of communicating after this course. I realise now that it will…….I have no reservations that it is an effective way of sharing a links to another website. This is what I have tried to do this week when an ‘invited friend’ made me aware of the Free Thinking Festival and some I found some interesting sessions directly relevant to posthumanities.
