I found this text interesting but also quite challenging to read. There were many definitions and concepts I had to keep searching up, I felt that there was a lack of context for a general reader’s understanding. An idea that I found to be profound was how modern media was described. The author explained that it had discrete levels because it emerged during the Industrial revolution, and how modern media evidently follows the factory logic. I really liked the connection between social changes in the 19th century and art. The claim “to understand the logic of new media we need to turn to computer science” allowed for a greater appreciation for the work I am doing in the Intro to IM class.
