Personally, this Symposium was difficult to understand, however the points that I did manage to get, I found useful for Networked Media.
On the internet there is no first or last page. What does this mean for storytelling/narrative?
There are always stories online, however they normally do not have a traditional structure. Am I writing this blog post with a start, middle and end? No, I’m not. The internet and books differentiate as one is an object, something you can touch. You can feel and smell the pages. While the other is in cyber space, just text on a screen. However this text must be substantial, as most people these days seem to read and write online, leading back to this course, and to society in general, which is that everything is online.
A question that I came across, is what does this mean for the language online to not have a Beginning, Middle, and End?
