This is a fascinating development in terms of cyberculture and transhumanism: ‘“I think about what I want to do and the system does it for me,” Kochevar told the Guardian. “It’s not a lot of thinking about it. When I want to do something, my brain does what it does.”’

@ClareThomsonQUB @suebecks Thanks Clare! I’ll have a play with it and see. Hope yours is coming along well. #mscedc

This is brilliant. The use of the 1812 Overture conveys so much about the frenetic nature of the tweetorial experience!

As a ‘words’ person, I don’t fully exploit the multimedia potential of digital spaces . Others are just brilliant at it. Since I started teaching in 1999, the range of skills and aptitudes which are taught within ‘digital literacy’ has expanded significantly: knowing how to fully exploit the range of communication media is part of becoming literate within a digital culture.

Helen, I empathise! For most of the duration of this course, I’ve battled with a very slow and erratic broadband connection and this has impacted on how I work and what I produce (and I too am trying to avoid conveying a sense of technological determinism). In some ways, being ‘slowed’ has proven to be a positive: I can’t quickly move between streams and sources, so I have to focus. However, on the other hand, it’s simply a complete pain. Looking forward to getting back to fibre in a few weeks.

Your lifestream’s looking great by the way. Best of luck with the final assignment.

My way of working has been impacted by the dreadful connectivity I’ve had whilst I’ve been living in an old farmhouse on the coast in Cumbria. Technology has determined how I can work, when I can work and what I can work on. As I noted in my comment to Helen, it has even impacted on how I think: I can’t ‘jump’ between applications and sites and have had to become more mono-focused.

I’m looking forward to fibre at the end of the month…I will be a more effective cyborg again.

It’s like an ‘Only Connect’ wall…

I visited others’ blogs again this week but had no reciprocal visits. Our ‘mobility’ between blogs has, in my experience, been limited; a core group of us have used Twitter as our ‘homing’ space (Brah, 1996; Fortier, 2000). That is where we ‘reground’ (Ahmed et al 2003). Eli established a Facebook group at the start of this EDC, but that has remained underused. I’ll be interested to see what others think:
