So, the ‘How Control Exists after Decentralization‘ reading started of quite slow and was difficult to get through. Very dense, very long, and i didn’t engage with it all that much. Much of it continued linking back to the technical aspects of the internet, and while i did learn some things about this, it was a bit dry. I would rather be discussing social implications for the entire reading, which is what the previous reading has set me up for. I hope that is what we discuss in our tute, what is culture? What aspects of culture are affected by technology? Is technology tied to culture at all? The end also didn’t interest me that much. The middle of the reading, they touched on new sets of social practices and relating technology to social aspects, but i didn’t absorb much other than that. The continuous speak of protocol and what relates to protocol didn’t engage me.

I will have another look at this reading tomorrow and see if i can make sense of it then, with a fresh mind. I have been sitting here doing readings for the past 3 hours so that could be why i disliked this reading as soon as it began…
