What’s Up?

Alright, so let’s take a quick look at what everyone’s been talking about this week. Yes I know, it’s week 12 and I’m struggling to keep up too but there have to be a few stragglers…

Jane writes about the Galloway reading and how the idea of ‘protocols’ in networked media somewhat mirrors that of human social relations. It definitely makes things more relatable.

Laura’s discussion on king hitting is an important one, and one that we need to think more carefully about when making choices about drinking environments. It’s not just young women who need to take caution when walking alone at night. However, essentially we need to start ‘rethinking drinking’ in order to make positive changes.

Finally, Nethaniel (ye old faithful) offers some further clarification on the concept of ‘protocols’ by pulling out a juicy quote from the Galloway reading. I often think of networked media as a busy network of wiring, like a brain! A road map is also a good analogy.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and contributions, and hang tight, we’re nearly there!
