THE BIG WORLD WIDE WEB

In this post, the author sought to answer questions regarding the linkage between technology, art and culture as well as the potential presented by hypertext and the extent to which human beings will be satisfied with the use of this technology. Here the author sought to answer the question of whether technology can be able to continue as a separate entity from both art and culture. The author described how there was a discussion and how one of the tutors argued that technology and culture are not separate entities and that indeed technology can be derived from desires that are artistic in nature.

The positive aspect of this post was the fact that the author presented to the reader just what the symposium had focused on and that the discussion had taken place between tutors. In this regard, the reader had a clear image of the context within which the discussion took place and could imagine the back and forth discussion that was carried out in the symposium. The author also provided the insight that one of the tutors provided to the discussion which was another positive factor. However, the author did not put in an effort to further articulate what the rest of the tutors said and whether the students made any contributions.

Moreover, there was no attempt to make a conclusion to the topic and what exactly the author learned and if indeed he was an active part of the discussion or he was a passive bystander. The author also did not articulate the relationship that existed between technology and culture and whether this was related to the notion of the evolution of technology (Felder, 2011).
