The Database as Symbolic Form

So this reading talked about the new media and the databases that are included within it.

I don’t really want to talk about it. I kind of read it with about half the effort I put in to sleeping when I am over tired. Whoops.

Therefore it went through one ear and out the other. I think it has something to do with words like ‘database’ and other technical terms that I tend to avoid.

But in the words of Miley “it’s my [blog] I can say what I want to”

sidenote: readings should be shorter.
