1. Using twitter was a brand new experience.Although i was not able to fully use it i enjoyed the time i had with it. It as interesting to see what was going in our classmates life, being that we see them as "classmates" and not as humans. After using twitter, i found that my life is mostly affected by, teleological time. In the students i followed i saw many students seemed, to live life in a teleological time just like me. Although some posts were sad, and emotional, i did not at all feel affected by what my classmates were writing. In the couple of days in twitter, there seemed to be no events that had an effect on my life. Throughout this twitter experience i learned that my classmates are human just like me. We all have goals and use our own ways to achieve them. I didn't feel like our lives intermingled or had anything to do with each other.
2.In the hypertext reading of Borge's text, i have no clue as to what we were supposed to get out of it. I was very lost. But i did find the reading pretty fun. For some strange reason i was very attracted to the words of death,die and dead. As a person I'm not too sure what that says about me, but I'm sure it is along st the lines of me being afraid of death.

I like your title… it sounds interesting. But i didn’t like what you said as” I learned that my classmates are human just like me”. I just felt that you took your classmates different then humans. Was it a monster or what? I think you should have mentioned as same human feeling like you or something in common, which would have made different sense…but I am not sure if I am doing the right interpretation…
ReplyDeleteI feel i live my life as a mix of teleological time as well. Also incorporated into this, i think is stellar time. I think our lives are a random mix of things that depends on the decisions we make and the outcomes that subsequently happen. I think you chose words like murder and other death related items in the hyper text because of our desensitization to violence being Americans and all. Being surrounded by violence through all forms of media, (news, movies, etc.) has led to a certain attraction and desire and lest we forget fear of it.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your post I'm aware of the different definitions one can take Stellar time as. I felt that intermingling could be interpreted differently, although we were not interacting back and forth others daily actions changed how I did things. You felt that you did not intermingle but I think maybe you should rethink that. Just because we did not have and face to face interactions maybe a comment someone said made you go about a situation you were facing differently.
