Why have we used Twitter more than other comms on this course? Just my perspective? Have you spent time ‘in’ others’ lifestreams? #mscedc

‘First written as a Manga comic series in 1989 during the early days of the internet, Ghost in the Shell’s creator, Japanese artist Masamune Shirow, foresaw that this brain-computer interface would overcome the fundamental limitation of the human condition: that our minds are trapped inside our heads. In Shirow’s transhuman future our minds would be free to roam, relaying thoughts and imaginings to other networked brains, entering via the cloud into distant devices and sensors, even “deep diving” the mind of another in order to understand and share their experiences.’ From The Independent.

This was a very entertaining exchange; Perry mused on whether we need to call computer games something else. Interactive experiences? Immersive art? What struck me, in relation to our EDC studies was Alderman highlighting how new, how emergent gaming is. Digital culture is new too and our definitions, our typologies and our relationship with digital technologies are nascent and in constant flux and change.

New office. Replete with dead flies. #mscedc

I see much of my world through this screen and not through real windows. I am present and not present in my new office. Physically present but elsewhere, engaged in an email conversation about our final assignment. As I reviewed my lifestream, I began to think again about ‘presence’ and ‘where’ ‘I’ have been throughout the duration of this course. In terms of co-presence, (Warburton, 2009) we have moored in Twitter for a range of reasons.

It’s interesting that Musk mentions science fiction at the start of this video. Science fiction often becomes science fact…

As a result of my IDEL studies, I undertook an experiment to try and get to the ‘top’ of the Linkedin rankings for ‘Professionals like you’. I did it. It had no impact on my business. However, this week, a colleague was, out of the blue, offered a brilliant opportunity out of the blue via Linkedin. So, my guilt has returned. I neglect Linkedin as it’s yet another piece of digital maintenance which I need to try and squeeze in. And now it appears that I also have to get a new profile photo.
