Lev Manovich – Response

This reading was well organized and it should’ve made a lot of sense. However, I think because of the complex vocabulary I was often lost. I believe that this reading does build off of each point and make sense in terms of what it set out to do. I wish that I was able to follow it more. The concepts were explained in a manner that was tailored to suit someone who was familiar with the technological terms that are common, but even those I had to think about when reading which interfered with the fluidity with which I could understand the concepts.

One point that I did find interesting was the one about the advertisements and how computers seem to analyze the data that we give them. We know that this is happening but it was interesting to read about. Also the point where everything is built off each other, how programs and new media always use things from the last generation. I don’t know what else to say about this as I was unable to fully grasp each concept.
