So here I am providing another sneak peak to the inner workings of my brain! I am not too sure whether blogs are suppose to be as colloquial as this but I find it way easier to write what I'm actually thinking so again pleeeeease bare with me!!

It turns out I'm writing this on another lovely winters Saturday afternoon, sitting in a dress, as I am, is completely unheard of at this time of year. Whether it's global warming or not, who am I to complain?? It's amazing!

Speaking of environments, (such a subtle connecting sentence) the Stalder reading addresses how the "Media build an integrated environment based on flows of information." He looks at nodes and flows as two intangible elements that build upon the other to provide stabilization within the potentially fluid environment enabling  navigation and purposeful, systematic action. To be honest I don's really understand his analogy. The complexity of his description confuses me, but then I suppose Stalder is trying to help us understand this environment, which is even  more complex then being able to describe it itself - if that makes sense? I'm just glad that we live in a networking society (last weeks reading) rather than an information one!!

I suppose our generation has taken advantage of the development of computers and the internet for that matter. I think it's somewhat ironic that the most popular and used information/networking/communication (call it what you want) device in today's society is yet another American invention. I don't want to your time and my time for that matter by whinging about how America wants to Americanise the whole world but yet it does basically unintentionally. I have no doubt that the people at the RAND Corporation who originally developed this wonderful thing would have thought that the internet would be basically a nessesity in 2011. The life without the internet would have so many detrimental effects, the first to pop into my head whether its because I have a tree hugging mother or not, is trees! Imagine the amount of paper we would use for everything we look up on wikipedia (not for uni assessments (; of course) .. it would be ridiculous! This brings me back to last weeks blog and the concept of networking. I honestly cannot imagine the detrimental affects networking would have without the internet, I'm not going to make the bold statement that saying networks would not happen but rather I would like you guys to think about all the networks you are involved with on the internet alone.

Sooo here I come to and end of my second blog. I hope it's kind of interesting! Please leave a comment !!  Thank you Lyd!
