Beginning, middle, end

Thinking back to last week and the very thought provoking lecture from Adrian. I’ll admit I never thought we would be discussing where books came from in network media but I can see how this example of print literacy leads into understanding network literacy. Reading a book, we expect a beginning middle and an end, it should also include page numbers right? Has it occurred to anyone that the internet doesn’t have a beginning, middle or an end, or page numbers? Well it hadn’t to me until last week. Aristotle was even mentioned in the lecture…deep. Adrian suggested our life isn’t a story, it doesn’t have a beginning middle or an end but made up of a series of events. However if those events are retold you then have a story. Although the whole idea of the beginning middle and end came from Aristotle do you think that being a realist he would have thought that this theory doesn’t apply to our lives?
