So Lecture/Workshop 1 were held back-to-back on Monday afternoon, consisting of mostly an introduction of the course and of whats going on in the next 6 weeks.

Elliot, started by going over some basic principles of the internet, e.g. how it was established under our generation and hence why our “mums are always asking for your help with the computer.”

Another key concept that was mentioned which I need to get my head around is the quote that was written on the board

“Research is the combined practice of both knowledge consumption and production”

I guess it has to do with the Idea that whilst we consume a piece of “knowledge” we are also actively interpreting under certain contexts, discourses and opinions, hence we are “producing” a somewhat unique form of research. – awkwardly phrased, yet still the way I have read the message.
