The first reading of the semester to me was a very abstract way of describing the idea of the course. I liked the use of the metaphor – the boat sailing over “a sea of ideas” – which I believe was successful in defining networked media and its various forms, practices and systems. To be on this boat might seem like a nightmare to some people. The idea of constantly sailing over large waves, swells and currents without finding land could sound exhausting to many. Much like keeping up with current media in all its forms and knowing as much as possible. It changes with the audience’s contributions and their overall participation. It grows as well with the progression of technology itself and the access that the community has to this technology. I am not quite sure how to answer one of the last questions “What does it even suggest, that things know?” Perhaps I will find out as the semester progresses.
