I took this a few days ago and did terribly!

It is definitely pretty! And yes to all of the above. I think keeping an eye on the importance of mindful interaction will be key to managing our relationships with another useful but also needy connective device. And how much longer will we call it a watch? I guess we’re still calling our pocket computers phones….

I love the lead in about the nesting dolls (Matryoshki) and the trace. And of course, “doing more with less” has all kinds of appeals. But in terms of learning and how we understand what we are doing and making, I wonder if we shouldn’t (always) think more carefully about the implications of “the trace” and our dependency on it. It’s so interesting (and somewhat consternating) that big data and the increasing efficiency of design form conceptual funnels that open in opposite directions. Lots to think about here!

I say they develop in concert with the resistance of the medium.

I had fun with Poetweet! Yes, lots in common with Wordclouds, although the syntax and generic conventions of the sonnet definitely compound the interaction between tweets. Most of my tweets are publicity tweets for blog posts — many of them not written by me. I had to remix this a couple of times to get a decent balance of humor and “meaning.” I wouldn’t say the poetweet reflects me, but it is an interesting lens on the kinds of phrases I’m drawn to.

Couldn’t agree more! It’s interesting that Ritz Bitz used an image that has some things in common with your “brick wall” (https://annamritz.wordpress.com/2015/03/04/ted-nelson-pushing-the-boundaries-of-human-knowledge-in-new-ways/)

You are a committed seminarian to post while on new-baby duty, Semi-structured! I agree that the initial reading of Engelbart can be slow — it’s the afterglow and fallout that I think will resonate with you after the cut and paste touchstone settles down. Among the many things I cherish about Engelbart is his vision, evident from the outset, to use computers and networks to help people solve complex problems together. In my mind, this is where the real “augmentation” lies.
