In todays Unlecture, some pretty great ideas and thoughts were thrown out into the open, for us to either catch and run with, or for us to let slip by and forget about as soon as we walk out of the lecture theatre. I like to think that I caught some of the ideas, and carried them out with me. One topic that stuck with me from listening today, is that knowledge is constructed, and we construct it in the way we want to. We are all individuals, who all learn differently, and who all hold certain things in life to be important. We all know a lot about some things, and less about others. The notion that we all produce knowledge is intriguing, and this makes me even more excited to be able to have this blog and update it with information that I myself know and information that I can construct in a way that let’s other people learn and be slightly more knowledgable about certain topics, events or people.

The explanation from Elliot on Design Fiction also helped me understand more about the reading than I did at first when I read it. The concept of working on something with an idea of how the future is going to function, wanting to create something that is futuristic and yet somewhat helpful/useful in the world of today.

This unecture also gave me a few more ideas on what I can blog about in future posts. So on the topic of the unlecture being considered irrelevant by some, for me, I disagree, as I find it interesting and helpful to attend.
