20131024v+ | The original would be the author imagined text
guiding the physical production that becomes the text, or abandon
idea of real behind text. (764) | 3.1.2 |
20131024u+ | My version of CSS insists on experimentation
beyond crafting fortuitous deformations, the default: seems like all
bets are off in the region of indeterminate cybertext, where the Big
Other is likely to most clearly speak to humans. (778) | 3.2.2 |
20131024t+ | Immersion the difference between hypertexts
like Afternoon and cybertexts like Adventure. (778) | 3.1.2 |

operations, following Pierre Fontanier: forking, linking/jumping,
permutation, computation, polygenesis. (777) | 3.1.2 |
20131024r+ | Cybertextuality adds ontological category of
simulation. (777) | 3.1.2 |
20131024q+ | MUDs are to be experienced, not read. (776) | 3.1.2 |
20131024p+ | Indeterminate cybertext, for example MUDs,
beyond genre, not against genre. (775) | 3.1.2 |
20131024o+ | Absent structure of determinate cybertext is
the plot. (774) | 3.1.2 |
20131024n+ | The game Adventure as example of determinate,
ergographic cybertext. (774) | 3.1.2 |
20131024m+ | Difference between hypertext and cybertext is
the latters self-changing ability. (773) | 3.1.2 |
20131024l+ | Bush memex user modeled after traditional
academic author; hypertext jump equates to switching print texts, the
lest topographical mode of nonlinearity. (771) | 3.1.2 |
20131024k+ | I Ching as expert system, readerless text; this
answers a question I have been asking myself for years. (769) | 3.1.2 |
20131024j+ | Four degrees of nonlinearity, from static to
indeterminate dynamic cybertext. (768) | 3.1.2 |
20131024i+ | Four feedback functions in addition to
interpretive function of user: explorative, role-playing,
configurative, poetic; note theorists seem to present sets of four or
so key concepts (for example, Ryan). (768) | 3.1.2 |
20131024h+ | Variates applied to nonlinear texts (see Texts
of Change): toplogy, dynamics, determinability, transiency,
maneuverability, user-functionality. (767) | 3.1.2 |
20131024g+ | Basic units of texts are textons, which are
arbitrarily long strings of graphemes, plus traversal functions. (767) | 3.1.2 |
20131024f+ | Textonomical
version of topology studies ways various sections of text connected
in terms of intentional design rather than physical appearance. (766) | 3.1.2 |
20131024e+ | Texts are cross products of linguistic,
technological, historical matricies. (766) | 3.1.2 |
20131024d+ | These transboundary phenomena trace human
machine symbiosis. (765) | 3.1.2 |
20131024c+ | To study textuality in its situated, media
specific and cultural contexts, asking about textualities as what
Hayles describes as shimmering signifiers how it may occur in virtual
realities computed by machines, living in the thoughts of machines
and passing through human thoughts as well. (765) | 5.1.1 |
20131024b+ | Scales of change of metamorphosis; compare to
Berry modes of software. (765) | 3.1.2 |
20131024a+ | This is a bizarre claim to which on first
reading I object giving the example of ontological interactivity that
lies and pretends to be linear: perhaps Aarseth intends the obvious,
believing that all print texts are linear, static, and that static
texts do not secretly compute; and nonlinear as implying ontological
interactivity require their electronic substrate. (764) | 3.1.2 |
20131024+ | Informative and interpretable aspects of texts. (763) | 3.1.2 |
20121127+ | Thus texts and technology studies emphasizes
ethnography over textual anthropology, primarily operating in text,
hypertext, and cybertext investigations. (778) | 3.1.3 |
20120825+ | Compare this to Ryan myth of the Aleph, and
Castells invoking the Aleph from Borges for the totalizing
submergence of prior discrete media into digital processing, the real
virtualities in which we now live much of our perceptual lives: this
is really a description of how running software may be understood as
texts, along with images, too, going far beyond the zoographia
grammata unit operation of antiquity through postliteracy. (765) | 3.1.3 |

giving researchers access to other machines, programming languages,
and services. (99) | 3.1.5 |
20140417+ | Consider Turkle critique of virtual communities
against heroic struggle to create new ways of interacting. (84) | 3.1.6 |
20140405a+ | ICCC demo featured numerous interesting uses of
networked applications and remote communications, a turning point in
use of the ARPANET spanning commercial services and training a
generation of American computer scientists in its techniques. (79) | 3.1.5 |
20140405+ | Connecting a host to the subnet the primary
obstacle, but public interest in networking also needed to be
increased, inspiring ICCC. (78) | 3.1.5 |
20140329o+ | Email use and participation in virtual
communities altered common perception of ARPANET as communications
system more than computing system, that is, a place for running
programs; here computing descended into background both as
internalizing interface use, evolved behavior Thrift attributes to
coaction of technical unconscious with human endeavor. (111) | 3.1.5 |
20140329n+ | Mailing lists credited for creating and
maintaining ARPANET user virtual community; compare to recent
criticisms of using same term as locally congregating physical
personal communities, as computer programming language is also noted
as an ambiguous equivocation with human natural languages. (110) | 3.1.5 |
20140329m+ | User centered design through participation of
non-expert users promoted by Lukasik such as adding features to mail
readers since email was the most popular non-expert use. (109-110) | 3.1.5 |
20140329l+ | Users did not collaborate like model promoted
by SRI NIC, using mostly email and file transfer due to their
simplicity compared to NLS developed by Engelbart. (109) | 3.1.5 |

of distributed computing resources lead to siren servers? (104) | 3.1.5 |
20140329h+ | Information sharing and enhanced collaboration
noted by computer scientists as key benefits of networking,
transforming how science was done; did their anonymous transfers and
software theft become cultural norm? (100) | 3.1.5 |

of online documentation, system announcements, email support that
spread virtual community and became our habitual practices of
interactivity. (89) | 3.1.5 |
20140329a+ | Challenge of using early ARPANET, contrary to
ease of access and use taken for granted today with the Internet,
transformed by virtual communities built by experiments building
features like sharing information, support, recreation in the network
environment. (84) | 3.1.5 |
20140329+ | Predictions by APRA about users benefits were
wrong, so its success needs explained rather than taken for granted,
focusing on active users who played a role in its development; go
beyond simple view of consumers amassing after a technology has been
delivered to the market. (83) | 3.1.5 |
20140327z+ | Computer scientists perceived ARPA as offering
large degree of intellectual freedom. (77) | 3.1.5 |
20140327y+ | ARPA managers shielded research projects from
often conflicting national politics while presenting pragmatic and
security reasons to Congress for supporting projects. (75) | 3.1.5 |
20140327x+ | Roberts entrusted creating host protocols to
relatively inexperienced researchers of the Network Working Group,
which developed Requests for Comments as means of disseminating
technical proposals to promote informal communication and sharing of
ideas; informal evolution of formal standards though RFCs and NWG
meetings. (73) | 3.1.5 |

email; common formats for representing files and terminals addressed
compatibility issues among different types of host machines. (68-69) | 3.1.10 |
20140327s+ | Host and application layers precursor to
TCP/IP. (67) | 3.1.10 |

layers became way to manage social relations and reduce technical
complexity. (62-63) | 3.1.10 |
20140327n+ | Routing the most difficult switching task,
which was distributed so each IMP independently and adaptively
decided where to send packets, making the system more robust, but
also prone to unexpected interactions. (61-62) | 3.1.10 |

design, then encountered Baran book on distributed communications
leading to routing revelation. (37) | 3.1.5 |
20140326w+ | IPTO [Information Processing Techniques Office]

academic computer scientists not focused on survivability. (21) | 3.1.5 |
20140326j+ | Baran more interested in building a distributed
network for flexible transmission of bursty data, which called for
time division multiplexing, than employing packet switching for its
own sake. (18) | 3.1.5 |

another inroad for machine cognition into textual tasks performed by
humans. (189) | 3.2.3 |
20130910j+ | Complex and simple typing and enforcing
sequencing imposes structural constraints on XML-based texts (DOMs),
supporting or engendering OCHO hypothesis; also apparent that basic
XML syntax is based on English, for example minOccurs. (182) | 3.2.3 |
20130910i+ | Interesting contrast to Derridean play of
ambiguities and collision problems that are avoided using namespaces,

20140604i+ | Absence of student-teacher contact in
learner-centered environments attributable to institutions treating
students as commodities and instructors esteeming student knowledge
at expense of deauthorizing their own. (188-189) | 2.2.4 |
20140604h+ | Mentors mistakenly assume approval leads to
students working more to continue their inquiries; learner-centered
classrooms do not lead students to seek out instructors outside
class. (186) | 1.1.1 |
20140604g+ | Treating disaffected youth as injustice
indulges them and downgrades authority position of mentors, devaluing
remote traditions for having no bearing since their only prior
justification was by the rhetoric of recanting mentors; intellectual
independence sabotages tradition. (185) | 1.2.1 |
20140604f+ | Indulgence of youth weakens already fragile
continuity of tradition; connecting adult thinking with unpopular war
further weakened it. (182) | 1.2.1 |
20140604e+ | Effects of educators indulging youth are
routine irreverence and knowledge deficits; implied argument is that

school zones dogmatically accepted by custodians of culture. (174) | 1.1.1 |
20140604+ | Even the successful Art Show neglects cultural
authority of artistic heritage, tradition carried by books by
valorizing self-contained perspectives of student artists under
influence of digital social media, thus by implicit a fortiori

consumer oriented limited intelligence, restricted vocabulary
outlooks as possible machine other perspectives. (173-174) | 2.2.4 |
20140603z+ | Youth more disengaged from culture the more
mentors engage them in their own terms; digital technology fosters
segregated social reality. (200) | 1.1.1 |
20140603y+ | Young Americans need teachers who give them
less relevance, less indulgence, and more relevant, adult role
models; Bauerlein believes this loss results in less time spent in
out of class activities that complement class work. (199) | 1.1.1 |
20140603x+ | Development of healthy self criticism in light

social and shortsighted. (198) | 1.3.4 |
20140603w+ | Overly

college teachers one consequence of indulgence by mentors. (197) | 1.2.1 |
20140603v+ | Confidence and enjoyment do not entail
achievement, as shown by achievement levels between nations; teens
unable to appraise capabilities, and aptitude and ambition do not
align. (195) | 1.2.1 |

20140603t+ | Twixters are natives of projective city, their
aimless lifestyle justified as journey of self-discovery before
engaging in their ultimate life work project, for example plateauing

20140603s+ | Reich gave deep interpretation to youth
lifestyle of 1960s, but youth lifestyle under sway of American
capitalist consumer experience reflects a different underlying
intellectual depth and expanse. (169) | 1.2.1 |
20140603r+ | Bauerlein will argue that blame for the misuse
of the digital realm falls on custodians of culture who promote its
intellectual benefits, rather than the kids or their parents. (161) | 1.1.1 |

20140603m+ | Nielsen research highlights what works,
reminding us that the Web is now a consumer habitat, not an
educational one; children develop habits the undermine classroom
goals. (149) | 1.1.1 |
20140603l+ | Nielsen Norman research shows Web reading less
creative and complex than enthusiasts claim, forming reading and
thought patterns focusing on retrieval and consumption. (148) | 2.2.4 |
20140603k+ | Nielsen Norman model of web users reveals
little sustained linear, word for word reading habits, lack of
concentration and otherwise insufficient reading habits for the 80
percent; to improve they need to develop more basic literacy and
patience, not more computer literacy and screen time. (143-144) | 1.2.1 |
20140603j+ | Screen reading not a supplement for digital
natives but replacement for linear thinking, its new habits taken as
inevitable. (140) | 2.2.4 |

outside personal interests, thus digital media cocoon stultifying;
compare outcomes to traditional practices. (138) | 1.2.1 |

personalized reality based on programmed visions, striations
mirroring adolescent desires. (137) | 2.2.4 |

relations with older people and traditions, but digital media
encourages horizontal modeling of peers. (136) | 1.2.1 |

nonstop peer contact rather than a universe of knowledge. (133-134) | 1.1.1 |

greatest unmentioned vice of digital media. (133) | 1.1.1 |

20140603c+ | Criticism of visual media for minimizing
expansion of verbal intelligence and skills building in favor of
spatial intelligence, worsened by endorsement by young Americans
whose technological tools resemble their beloved toys, and Web use
reflects adolescent recreations. (130) | 2.2.4 |
20140603b+ | Dire intellectual effect of habitual
consumption of low rare-word media; can a comparison be made to
software monocultures? (129-130) | 1.2.1 |
20140603a+ | Progressive vocabulary expansion crucial to
intelligence; rare word count of print far exceeds oral media. (129) | 1.2.1 |
20140603+ | Essential cultivation of oral mother tongue
natural language depended upon for educational success harmed by

initiatives and their underlying theories, failing to check headlong
dash to technologize everything. (124) | 2.2.4 |
20140601p+ | Studies evaluating elearning often use measure
of student enthusiasm to judge educational benefits, and most digital
initiatives fall short for lack of long term outcome differentials

for fleeting direction of techniques, which we call culture, learning
environments, ultimately influencing development of learning styles
and quality of lifelong learning itself. (119) | 2.2.4 |
20140601o+ | Situation of poor writing at school and
energetic writing at home fails to consider negative effect of
popular technologies. (118) | 2.2.4 |

20140601h+ | Antagonism of books versus computers indicates
replacement rather than complement; a zero-sum game for time and
money of young people. (99) | 1.2.1 |
20140601g+ | Screen intelligence like interface intelligence
leveraging visual and tactile modes over symbolic manipulation, does

20130911t+ | Bernard Stiegler interpretation of Heidegger,
Simondon platform, and Wilfred Sellars phenomenology: materiality of
code as it is tied to phenomena, whether prescriptively creating it

potentialities as a force, but also as a platform, only ever
partially withdrawn (unreadiness-to-hand). (119) | 3.1.8 |
20130911s+ | Would a debugger example, which merges the

20130911e+ | Software
development life cycle from requirements and design to alpha, beta,

work in life cycle reflects the hard mastery programming style at the
opposite pole of which Turkle presents the bricoleur style. (67) | 3.1.9 |
20130911d+ | Uses computer programming contests to situate

20130911c+ | Latour trial of strength related to software
engineering test case; locate materiality in trial of strength
legitimation practices as opposite of atemporal perfect state of code
that appears in a textbook to demonstrate an algorithm or to be
reduced to mathematical forms such as lambda calculus, logical
notation, or UTM. (65-66) | 3.1.9 |
20130911b+ | Realization of importance of finding good
examples, not necessarily instructional because they may be tedious;
similar difficulty to presenting examples in scholarly and scientific
writing. (64) | 3.1.9 |
20130911a+ | Code located within material devices form
technical devices; Hayles MSA-compatible definition of code as
computational logic located within material devices. (63) | 3.1.9 |

performing the network form (Bogost, Galloway, Callon). (62) | 3.1.9 |

affords epistemological transparency. (53-54) | 3.1.9 |
20130910v+ | Weberian ideal-types of analytical categories
to build grammar: data, code, delegated (source), prescriptive

20130910u+ | Code may compile but not work, or contain
syntax errors, deprecated functions, or other flaws so it will not
compile or run despite being programmatically correct; compare to
Derrida refuting arbitrariness of language. (46) | 3.1.9 |
20130910t+ | Phenomenologically derived ontological
characteristics from experience of programmers: habituation,
structural constraints, shared knowledge. (43) | 3.1.9 |
20130910s+ | Software lifecycle includes moral depreciation
of code borrowed from Marx; complexity through distributed authorship
over many revisions means it is likely that nobody comprehends all of
any given application. (42) | 3.1.9 |
20130910r+ | Interesting argument where factory practices
most resisted and master craftsmanship most preserved, in the
opposite of Manovich cultural software. (39-40) | 3.1.9 |
20130910q+ | Phenomenology of computation performed by
reverse engineering discretizations, political economy, property
relations, breakdowns, and moral depreciation concretized in code and
software systems, although slowing down analysis not possible in
systems with real-time requirements like high speed process control
systems, even the Atari VCS; yet this sort of tracing analysis founds
phenomenology of computation that is after the fact, reverse
engineered. (38) | 3.1.9 |
20130910p+ | Code is more than textual files that reduce to
mathematical representation like lambda calculus and UTMs due to
double mediation; approach similar to Sterne, Latour, others,
extending from discrete object analysis to cultural context, invoking
Wardrip-Fruin as another philosopher of computing. (36-37) | 3.1.9 |
20130910o+ | Conceive absolute code like Marx absolute labor
and problematic like Marxian analysis of industrial production;
technical, social, material, and symbolic aspects. (33-36) | 3.1.9 |
20130910n+ | Code understood as textual and social practices
of static source code writing, testing, and distribution, implying
close reading; software processual operating form, implying distant
reading. (31-32) | 3.1.9 |
20130910m+ | Perl vs C/C++ interpreted vs compiled, pretty
example but does not do much; code as textual artifact and software
the running process: rather than awkwardly quoting code in academic
writing, do theory in situ in code repositories. (29) | 3.1.9 |
20130910l+ | Why this is philosophy of computing: role is to
grasp the ontic and ontological. (28) | 3.1.5 |
20130910k+ | Orality, literacy, computationality,
ontotheology; a bold philosophical position hinted at by Hayles,
Turkle, and others. (27) | 2.2.4 |
20130910j+ | New distributed, computational subjectivity,
necessarily dehumanizing, but also only potentially democratizing. (22) | 2.2.4 |
20130910h+ | Super-critical modes of thought yield not
collective intelligence but collective intellect (Jenkins, Hayles);
humanists should focus on determining appropriate practices, not
specific ICT. (20) | 2.2.4 |
20130910g+ | Kittler sense of media convergence is
translation into digital forms, whereas Berry senses new knowledge
and productive potential because discretization not equivalent to
immaterialism. (14-15) | 2.2.4 |
20130910f+ | Everyday computational comportment to be
developed via digital Bildung. (14) | 5.1.1 |
20130910e+ | Important distinction between computationalist
and instrumentalist notions of reason, locating the former in the
materially entangled matrix operations of distributed cognition, and
the latter in a more restricted sense of a type of agency. (13) | 2.2.4 |
20130910d+ | Paying attention to the computationality of
code, tracing agentic path, is the crucial, effective position to
join to other approaches: can only understand by reading and watching
operation, the latter suggesting materiality or at least situatedness
within instrumentalized world. (10) | 3.1.9 |
20130910c+ | Understanding software avidities affects human
freedom, so therefore it is worthwhile to study, imbricating classic
Socratic questioning for tracing agentic paths constituting human
experience. (6-9) | 3.1.8 |
20130910b+ | Interesting new forms of scholarship around
software studies, cultural analytics, and critical code studies,
comparable to list Hayles makes in How We Think: platform
studies, media archeology, software engines, soft authorship, genre
analysis of software, graphical user interfaces, digital code
literacy, emporality and code, sociology and political economy of the
free software and open source movement. (4-5) | 3.1.8 |
20130910a+ | Stiegler, the newest significant philosopher of
computing introduced following Heidegger and Kittler, offers
materialist definition, dynamic of organized inorganic matter,
inviting pass through Burks, Goldstine, von Neumann; mechanology is a
new philosophical position introduced without fanfare here. (4) | 2.2.4 |
20130910+ | The built environment of late capitalist
information society is supported by software and mostly happens by
software for the sake of software even when serving human ends at the
ends of its causal chains; materiality of code on account of its
being in and affecting the physical world, spun like webs, largely
database to database information. (1-2) | 3.1.8 |
20130512+ | Promotes an ethic of being a good stream, whose
Serres parasitic subjectivity, although requiring thoughtful
comportment to computer technologies, does not endorse outright
learning and practicing programming as itself critically important to
being a good stream the way literacy did for prior generations, or as
a substantial component of humanities scholarship intellectual labor. (170-171) | 3.1.8 |
20130126+ | Materiality of code inscribed in programmers
through long habituation, internalized to point of dreaming
(Rosenberg), whereas materiality of software inscribed in users, for
example multitasking synaptogenesis. (145-149) | 3.1.8 |
20130124+ | Guattari processual, device-dependent
subjectivity; possible alternative computational theory of mind
inclusive of Derridian archive checking against key arguments about
delegating classes of cognitive duties to technical devices;
involvement of code situated materially significant even if its goal
is to strive to erase spatiality and temporality as in financial
systems. (160) | 3.1.8 |
20120717+ | Hermenutic circle using Clausewitzian sense of
absolute rather than real code: is this an oppositional favoring
phenomenological processes as tiresome to contemplate and complex as
any other highly complex thing like a roaring flowing river or
household air conditioning; Berry follows Latour for wide range
multiple conceptions of software. (33-36) | 3.1.9 |
20120715+ | Key part of the book on thinking
computationally delegating classes of cognitive duties to technical
devices: knowing-how versus knowing-that; connect Zuboff to Applen

instrumentation, too; it is not completely hidden, and in fact must
reveal its interface to be usable. (121-123) | 5.1.1 |
20120607+ | Pragmata of code entails situatedness if not
materiality; phenomenological approach to problems that include
ephemerality, both of source code revisions and entire operating
environments, and high technical skill requirement. (5-6) | 3.1.9 |

20140712n+ | America retook Dehomag using rhetoric that is
assets and employees were property of an American enterprise, though

translated as, see everything with Hollerith punchcards, alludes to
the commencement of a horrifying holocaust narrative implicating IBM

20131020i+ | Black awakens us from this predigital nightmare
perpetrated by the German and American government war machines, and
more shockingly IBM employees in subsidiaries of this budding
transnational, to renewed fears in the Age of Realization that more
lists will be compiled against more people, perhaps now dropping
smart bombs from drones rather than operating death camps; it is
important to think about how information is gathered and processed,
whether by human programmers as steeped in evil as the vilest hacker,
morally ambivalent like Eichmann, or blind to the purpose of their
efforts, or perhaps the lists are already being made by machines on
their own, leading to future genocides portrayed in science fiction

the automation of human destruction by the Nazis under guidance of
IBM Germany, which lucrative business, Black argues with voluminous
documentary evidence, the parent company in the United States
tolerated if not encouraged with a blind eye to its purposes. (8) | 1.1.1 |
20131020a+ | IBM was gripped by its amoral corporate mantra
and dazzled by its universe of technical possibilities; collective
intelligence, punch drunk with newly discovered organizational
possibilities of automated high speed tabulating, sorting, and
printing machinery, materialized in the German populace as what
Hannah Arendt called the banality of evil, such that actors like
Adolf Eichmann would fail to admit any sense of wrongdoing. (8) | 1.1.1 |
20131020+ | The book IBM and the Holocaust by Edwin Black,
which American digital humanists ought to be obliged to read as part
of their philosophy of computing canon, begins with a reproduction of
a 1933 Dehomag (Deutsche Hollerith Maschinen Gesellschaft
M-B-H-Berlin-Licterfelde) advertisement featuring the word
“Überssicht”
(oversee), an all-seeing eye enlightening an IBM punch card form of
early mechanical computing, a factory sporting a massive smokestack,
and the words “mit hollerith
Lochkarten” (with Hollerith cards), alluding to the
commencement of a horrifying holocaust narrative implicating IBM
machinery and its employees and partners in America and Europe with
their bureaucratic counterparts in the murderous Nazi regime like
Adolf Eichmann, the subject of Hannah Arendt banality of evil;
however, I find the human machine situation of WALL-E more indicative
of the transformation of humanity by modern digital computing,
comical future descendants of what Hayles refers to as the dumbest
generation, whose comfortable spaceship utopia plays upon the
horrific reality of the movie The Matrix whose human beings are never
awake as embodied. (vi) | 1.1.1 |

persuasion to continue playing, and rhetorics of play: unusual Atari
VCS Tax Avoiders game exemplary. (46) | 3.1.10 |
20130910k+ | Dialectics have broad media ecology:
distinguish between ability to raise procedural objections by
altering game play and emergence of dialectical reasoning about the
subject whose proceduralities are represented in the videogame;
example of The Grocery Game, which allows modification of rules of
shopping by automating otherwise too costly behaviors for saving
money with coupons and timed bulk purchases at particular grocery
stores, and peripherally criticism of game mechanics in message
boards substitutes for modifying code. (37) | 3.1.10 |
20130910j+ | Procedurality belongs between actual experience

20130910i+ | Exemplar of procedural rhetoric is The
McDonalds Videogame, whereas Grlpower Retouch and Freaky Flakes do

Cicero example; enthymeme and example are other rhetorical figures. (15) | 3.1.10 |
20130910c+ | Procedural tropes include natural language
processing, text parsers, and models of user interaction: crucial to
Bogosts thinking is their commensurability with forms of literary and
artistic expression supporting the trope analogy. (13) | 3.1.10 |
20130910b+ | Software studies could go off and document the
PLATO computer education system, which illustrates procedural
rhetoric by simulating tenure acquisition. (1) | 3.1.10 |
20130910a+ | Crucial to note that Bogost focuses on human

the inner workings of machines with the rhetorical outcome of
instilling programming as problem solving and even a way of
conducting humanities research. (ix) | 3.2.4 |
20130910+ | Procedural
rhetoric defined as persuasion through rule-based representations and
interactions. (ix) | 3.1.10 |
20130123+ | Procedural enthymemes complete the claim by
playing the game, which may include listening; thus by procedural

actions, which when uncovered and critically engaged potentially
inspiring radical change (Badiou event, and so on). (43) | 3.1.10 |

electronic device, machine embodiment, forms of alien temporality

his Macintosh portable computer. (26) | 4.2.1 |
20130915m+ | Second citation for the exergue is from
Yerushalmi, which must be important if it left such a strong

20130915k+ | Rather
than the E-mail or other technological factors, Derrida seems more
concerned with Jewishness, remembering this book stared with Derrida
analyzing his own immediate speech, read against The Telephone Book,
which is obsessed with Heidegger receiving a call, whereas my take on
this thread of the possible questions raised for the study of texts
and technologies considered free, open source software and learned
Latin, of initially computer languages in general and learned
languages: their unnaturalness grants affordances along with being
the mirror of the resonant tomb of sound reproduction. (17-18) | 2.2.5 |
20130915j+ | Two orders of questions raised by thought of
Freud using email: relationship between technology and theoretical

reverse of a coin or medal, usually below the central design and
often giving the date and place of engraving. (7) | 2.1.2 |
20130915d+ | Divert quickly by pointing out that his choice
of passive archive and rhetorical concept, like Heidegger and Ong
turning away from programming, when complemented with designing
software systems to support machine contemplation of these texts,
makes a place to do generic philosophy of computing instead of
anthropocentric philosophy: remember he is meditating upon being
forced to come up with a title for his presentation a year in advance

it? (1) | 3.2.2 |
20130627+ | He
does not know what he could be pondering saying to have spoken about
his computer beyond pondering experience of a certain hypomnesis and

impossible for the Mystic Writing Pad and fortuitous deformations
collected by McGann. (25-26) | 3.2.2 |
20121130+ | Derrida feels this study of Freud is
universally applicable to all historiography: what is erased, was
missing in analytic philosophy, the unknown knowns being realized in
all disciplines; compare this example of extremely discursive
subjectivity to accounts offered by embodied cognition theorists,
especially Hayles and Clark. (30-31) | 3.1.3 |
20121126+ | Primary entry point, use, function, interaction

Tanka-Ishii for laying out the stakes (types of signification,
reflexivity, recursion) that mirror the aims of living writing: the
foundational work is hard for humans, easy for machines, with side of
non-philosophy instantiated in programmable machines to contain
undecidables as initial states of variables and registers; what Plato
was not clever enough to articulate and Derrida can only do with the
entire material operation of his work as a one-off, hard coded
example, the synergistic positive feedback of living writing, is
routinely done by programming. (168-169) | 5.1.1 |

footnote that Freud and subsequent psychoanalytic approaches
constrained by their focus on evil from above leave rich interpretive
potential, like the neutered translation, safe for

methodology to default philosophies of computing. (130

20130118+ | Logos as

are these not also involved in both sound and silence? (375) | 4.1.1 |

is especially apparent in shifts in the methods, functions, and other

20120925y+ | Justification
for Feenberg based on the affordances of complexity versus a single
interpretation invites the study of technological concretizations,
and for him democratic rationalization; my choice working code seeks
to study the technological unconscious not from the relaxed, spectral
perspective of the Freudian analyst, but rather from hacker
(bricoleur) methodologies in the midst of the activity as a key
participant, which requires nontrivial familiarity with the default
technologies in use, which current are FOSS and TCP/IPv4 networking. (218) | 3.2.2 |
20120925x+ | Associating
Simondon concretization, elegance, and multipurposiveness. (217) | 3.1.4 |
20120925w+ | Selection
of simple examples such as hammers and jugs as leading to
oversimplified analyses of technical objects and their situation
within complex networks for which the division into primary and
secondary instrumentalizations makes sense; likewise, the complex,
multilayered supply chains that make up typical
technologically-oriented business processes differ radically with the
simple, two-step movement between technically-oriented producer and
non-technically-oriented consumer, where there is normally a number
of intermediaries in the movement between producers and consumers: in
intermediary positions, technologists work together, albeit in
producer/consumer roles. (216) | 3.1.4 |
20120925v+ | Perception
of technology oriented toward a use feeds back into the notion of
reified value (price) based on the extent to which use is met. (211) | 3.1.4 |
20120925u+ | This brief
return to Heidegger sets the stage for Feenberg synthesis of all of
the positions he has reviewed so far, as well as his initial
discussions about the May Events and the environmental debate;
gathering aspect of technology in secondary instrumentalizations
integrate it into surrounding world. (199) | 3.1.4 |
20120925t+ | Recall Heim
claim that scholarship needs a cybersage, not more Heideggers
resigned to the nostalgia of hunching over writing tables in their
mountain huts leading to high level of abstraction blind to details. (187) | 3.1.4 |
20120925s+ | Technical
devices and programs must be informed by collective choices about the
good life or they have no reason to be conceived; there can still be
much confusion here, such as when the Microsoft slogans Your
Potential, Our Passion and Where Do You Want to Go Today seemsto
leave ideals of the good life up for grabs by enabling the pursuit,
whatever it is. (180) | 1.3.3 |
20120925r+ | A
fundamental insights of Feenberg approach, also apparent to Drucker
and McVarish in their study of the history of graphic design. (176) | 3.1.4 |
20120925q+ | In addition
to professional ethical standards and other forms of structuring
technical areas with normative components that have little to do with
efficiency per se, FOS licenses like the GPL play a powerful role as
technical codes in actualizing this transformation in a permanent
manner. (143) | 3.2.2 |
20120925p+ | Exemplar of
participant interests is the global, open source development
community/network like Sourceforge, where users and developers
interact in steering the evolution of products, with feature
requests, bugs reports, support forums, shared documentation; even
commercial, proprietary software companies invite their users to
participate in beta-testing, discussion forums, and voice of the
customer activities. (140) | 3.2.2 |
20120925o+ | To a large
extent we do apply democratic standards, such as in the selection of
open document formats; nonetheless, just as in normal politics, those
initiatives are influenced by lobbies from powerful corporations like
Microsoft. (131) | 3.1.4 |
20120925n+ | Favored
examples of the French Minitel system and the Internet itself have
been eclipsed by the activities of the FOS movement, especially the
proliferation of GNU/Linux in government and business computing
environments; furthermore, these development communities foreground
the underdetermination of technical codes and devices in their
largely transparent, easily reviewed transactions and toolsets. (128) | 3.1.4 |
20120925m+ | An example
of margin of maneuver in many businesses is the use of telephones,
email and instant messaging to conduct business communications, while
at the same time offering workers an outlet to gossip, chat with
distant friends, and otherwise recover a social dimension that had
been repressed by the cubicle office design; possible that the
proliferation of cross-functional teams and other subordinates
initiatives owe some of their success to such maneuvering. (113) | 3.1.4 |
20120925l+ | Feenberg
talks about soviet rationalizations in Transforming Technology; here
micropolitics are the domains where individuals can make changes by
selecting, voting, commenting, and participating, which is the sort
of activism that powers the FOS movement, and it is greatly aided by
the Internet. (105) | 3.1.4 |
20120925k+ | Ironically,
reflexive design takes calculative thinking to its logical
conclusion, being as inclusive and comprehensive as possible in the
analysis of requirements so that the social dimensions are
necessarily part of design. (90) | 3.1.4 |
20120925j+ | With
software the embodiments of political implications is very rich while
at the same time concealed by familiarity and the sense of necessity
when engaging in them by users already constrained by their overall
computing environments, for instance, having to agree with a EULA or
other click-through agreements in order to enable use commodity
applications and websites that are now part of everyday life, made
clear by Lessig; here Latour idea that technical devices embody norms
that serve to enforce obligations literally enforce them, arriving at
Feenberg notion of technological hegemony. (80) | 3.1.4 |
20120925i+ | The
importance of fit developed by Pinch and Bijker is evident in the
selection of electronic technologies such as personal computers,
their operating systems and software, mobile electronic devices,
automobiles, and so on. (79) | 3.1.4 |
20120925h+ | This
ambivalence of technology plays out in his differentiation of primary
and secondary instrumentalizations. (76) | 3.1.4 |
20120925g+ | When it
comes to the spiritual pollution of using technology systems that do
not offer freedom, or only narrow degrees of freedom within fixed
configuration options, both workers and consumers suffer. (63) | 3.1.4 |
20120925f+ | Feenberg
views May Events as stimulus to changes reducing the dominion of
capitalist technocracy that have occurred since. (43) | 3.1.4 |
20120925e+ | Can the
structure of this analysis of May Events of 1968 be carried over to
the free, open source movement against the capitalist, cathedral
mentality of proprietary, closed source software and hardware
companies? (22) | 3.1.7 |
20120925d+ | Clearly the
constructivist position profits from the relative transparency of
open source projects whose design evolution is documented in online
developer communities; the black box nature of finished technologies
is related as much to how we might learn about them, the availability
of records, as the metaphysical claims of essentialist determinism. (11) | 3.1.7 |
20120925c+ | In his next
book Transforming Technology a whole part is devoted to the ambiguity
of the computer. (7) | 3.1.4 |
20120925b+ | The
situation is much different today in the technical realm of banking
and economics; the emergency bailout that just emerged from
democratic control is seen as the intellectual arrogance of the Bush
administration to rescue the world from financial crisis just as it
tried to rescue the world from radical Islamic terrorism. (5) | 3.1.4 |
20120925a+ | The
democratic position of sharing a role on the design process
accommodates subordinate, in the sense of illiterate, non-engineer,
users so their experience of technologies is not simply that of an
indifferent consumer. (xiv) | 3.1.4 |
20120925+ | Essentialist
view of technology based on impartial reason and logic that trickles
down into society through via production needs to be altered to
perceive its historical, social, and cultural determinations and
flexibility, as Kuhn did with science. (viii) | 3.1.7 |
20120518c+ | Reading a
hidden but discernable history of democratic rationalizations within
the evolving state of the art, despite its appearance of inevitable
progress via asocial forces; what he does not give much detail about
is how to study this phenomenon: he talks about political solutions,
focusing on manipulating human opinions, rather than hacker solutions
directed at the machines in a computer as component alliance. (220-222) | 3.1.8 |
20120518b+ | This point
again relates to the opacity of the iterations of design processes
that take place in the creation of technical objects: the free, open
source option provides epistemological transparency into the history
of the concretizing process and foregrounds the underdetermination
present in the unfolding of most technical operations. (220) | 3.1.8 |
20120518a+ | While
Feenberg claims technological unconscious it is only present in the
sedimented form expressed in the final products, noted as well by
software historians, I think this view is superseded by FOSS examples
whose entire history is documented. (220) | 3.1.8 |
20120518+ | Reaching
Feenberg from web presence public cyberspace being influence reach
control affect bend diffract, contrasted to Zizek parallax metaphor
of knowing, media is the message taken for granted and leveraged in
data streams between high speed interprocess and internetworked
processes; add a fourth example to Feenbergs three that do not deal
directly with software engineering to allows a different image for
commercial versus FOSS like the computer as component, as alliance. (219-220) | 3.1.7 |

structure architectures, having social and legal components that may
be concretized in design; surprising Floridi does not make this point
as a self-proclaimed critical constructionist, erhaps due to his

XML, is symptomatic of how he casts foundational computation affects

20121219+ | Individual person in cyberspace as evolving
hypertext with privileged access, related to Humean theory of

Floridi suggests new subjectivity reverses specialist,
compartmentalization trend of modernity for managerial model similar
to Jenkins and Hayles by mitigation through automation, the memex

punishment and normalizes, transposition of the system of
indulgences. (180-181) | 2.1.2 |
20130919v+ | Disciplinary punishment corrective via small
mechanisms; infra-penality like Zizek informal, unwritten rules. (177-178) | 2.1.2 |
20130919u+ | Funny to think that the idea of the panopticon
was inspired by observation of scrupulously designed latrines. (172-173) | 2.1.2 |
20130919t+ | Foucault urges this narrative of meticulous
subordination, permanent coercions, progressive training, and
automatic docility added to familiar history of ideas based on state
of nature, social contract, and general will. (169) | 2.1.2 |
20130919s+ | Differentiation between strategy and tactics,
the latter maintaining civil society (see also Feenberg); again,
similar to creation of modern technological systems. (168-169) | 3.1.4 |
20130919r+ | Soldier as fragment of mobile space. (164) | 2.1.2 |
20130919q+ | This story of development of discipline can be
told in the context of exhaustive use of underdetermined, available
CPU time in general purpose computers to make the modern multitasking
operating system: strange that such a gap existed between the
hardware and the software that eventually controlled it like the
docile humans Foucault studies, as if the (hardware) creator really
did not know how best to use the creation (by supplying software),
the Altair story and so many others potentially map well onto this
narrative, with the composition of forces move towards massively
distributed internetworked systems. (154) | 5.1.1 |
20130919p+ | Constituting totally useful time, time-table as
program; connect to Castells timeless time. (150) | 2.2.4 |
20130919o+ | Cellular power: elements creating the man of
modern humanism, organizing space and controlling activity, create
conditions for machine organization of operating systems and
distributed control systems, which then feed back on the project of
making docile souls. (147) | 2.1.2 |
20130919n+ | Disciplines as methods making possible
meticulous control of bodily operations. (137-138) | 2.1.2 |
20130919m+ | Man the machine develops through
anatomico-metaphysical registers of philosophers, and disciplines of
technico-political registers, bodily improving improvement, creating
the man of modern humanism. (136) | 2.1.2 |
20130919l+ | How did training the body in prisons triumph
over reforming jurists and old monarchical law of public spectacles
becomes the problem to study as three technologies of power. (131) | 2.1.2 |
20130919k+ | Corrective penality reforms body, time,
activities, therefore the soul. (128) | 2.1.2 |
20130919j+ | Detention quickly became the general form of
legal punishment. (120) | 2.1.2 |
20130919i+ | Norms of power relation accompanied by emerging
object relations of crimes and individuals, knowledge-power
spreading. (101-102) | 2.1.2 |
20130919h+ | New policy (semio-technique) with regard to
illegalities required to support investment in commodities and
machines: rule of minimum quantity, sufficient identity, lateral
effects, perfect certainty, common truth, optimal specification. (85) | 2.1.2 |
20130919g+ | Distributed effects of public power should
replace whims of sovereign. (81) | 2.1.2 |
20130919f+ | Increase in fraud correlative with changes in
punitive practices as well as societal shifts. (77) | 2.1.2 |
20130919e+ | Last words of a condemned man genre also
glorified the criminal, so broadsheets were suppressed and a new
crime literature developed, replacing the rustic hero with the
exceptional, master criminal. (66) | 2.1.2 |
20130919d+ | Study past history of the French penal system
to write a history of the present. (30-31) | 2.1.2 |
20130919c+ | Micro-physics of power forming political
technology of body, control operations like machines. (26) | 2.1.2 |
20130919a+ | Correlative history of soul and collective
power to regard punishment as a complex social function. (23) | 2.1.2 |
20130919+ | Collective responsibility for inherent violence
in justice recedes from immediate public presence, as punishment
becomes non-corporal, striking the soul. (9) | 2.1.2 |
20121130+ | Panopticism does not yield the totalizing view
that is implied in the gaze of the liberal humanist subject, but
rather contextual, situated, instrumental, so there really is no big
brother watching, only distributed technological unconscious
(Hayles). (227-228) | 2.2.4 |
20121125+ | Internet proxy server analogy to central tower,
visible power like Internet acceptable use messages. (201-202) | 5.1.1 |
20121124+ | View of soul as contingent correlative to
technology of power over body, effect and instrument of political
anatomy, prison of the body. (29-30) | 2.1.2 |
20120630+ | No doubt many works capitalize on this being as
perpetual assessment emerging in various domains of discourse by
orthopedists of individuality producing submissive subjects, like
Florida school testing: computational rendering of individual bodies
at Mettray foreshadows Nazi atrocities and modern bureaucracies of
embodiment; good humanities definition (link in Mitcham) or model for
AI, needing supervisory control everywhere the discipline imposed on
working code redoubled, both in its overall programming component of
ultra determinative nature docility, and within virtual virtual
realities where such beings live. (294-295) | 5.1.1 |
20120624+ | Discipline creates modern individuality as
cellular, organic, genetic, and combinatory, using techniques of
drawing up tables, prescribing movements, imposing exercises, and
arranging tactics. (167) | 2.2.4 |

Suetonius Lives of the Caesars; introduce Plutarch. (40-41) | 3.1.9 |
20131021a+ | Code: gives reasons to avoid speaking about
actual code because of bizarre way that programmers are most
creative; I am suggesting a different way of considering versions
than the final one with all the bugs out, the terminus of Kittlers
approach: is this a question of to code, or to write? (45-46) | 5.2.1 |
20131021+ | Code: philosophy of embodiment tie in with
Turing recognizing need for knowledge of environment. (45-46) | 3.1.9 |

displayed at beginning; important that authors note example of using
personal free, open source project as part of human oriented
(philosophical) text, alluding to not so much critical code as
critical programming study. (240) | 3.1.9 |
20130923o+ | Source Code: aesthetic properties of source
code, preference for brief examples yields attractor to code poetry,
quines, minimal code, and of course obfuscated code, which perhaps
redefines beauty as extreme style. (239-240) | 3.1.9 |
20130923n+ | Source Code: gives examples of foss

20130923j+ | Preferences: Hayles too argues that the
preferences and other user residue not merely mirrors but
co-constitutes human brains; playing around with preferences palette
is the way everyday users transcend unreflexive consumption by
engaging with the representational machinery controlled outside their
brains. (220) | 3.1.8 |

20130923e+ | Object Orientation: challenges deemphasis on
individuality and specificity of human interaction to focus on
generalized, mathematical data-exchange model characteristic of
procedural programming, but nonetheless exhibits its own imperialism,
biases, and limitations; compare to Hayles analysis of cybernetcs. (201) | 3.1.8 |
20130923d+ | Obfuscated Code: primary insight is that source

20130923a+ | Memory: acknowledge idiosyncratic assumptions
about memory and reasoning reified in computer technologies likely
due to their primary business and military motivators: can
alternative designs be theorized and enacted, such as Proust example
suggesting value of considering theories from other disciplines,
leads to sound studies. (190) | 3.1.8 |

distinguished from performative speech and reversible coding; need to
study code to be critically informed about computers. (170) | 3.1.9 |
20130921y+ | Interrupt: humans are interrupts, therefore
software criticism must be social; tie in keyboard and bell of Burks,
Goldstine, von Neumann. (165) | 3.1.8 |

20130921v+ | Internationalization: first of two entries so
far that include source code, to develop criticism of bias for
European languages built into Java locales and Unicode, thus merely
technical universality in the sense it runs anywhere. (154-155) | 3.1.9 |

20130921q+ | Data Visualization: compare overcoming
distances to Ihde on instrumentation, Hayles on nonrepresentational
imaging such as PET scans. (79) | 3.1.8 |
20130921p+ | Copy: society of control docility through
microcontrol user behavior built into data. (75-76) | 3.1.8 |

Lyotard predicts as an alternative resistance to the looming default:
specifically addressing Lyotard advice of making data free, it must

articulated in the succeeding years. (437-438) | 5.1.1 |

systems think about are their effectiveness, never what human

20121128+ | Inhuman is the concretizing system technology,
time, and human create that I call the machine other, machinic, and
it is the site of alien temporalities we may intuit machine
embodiment as if there were machine intelligence like human
consciousness out there in the world; its other sense is its effect
on human souls, Heidegger wasting enframing, Kittler, Hansen, and
others more nuanced accounts of how the soul is and has always been
represented as and by artifacts, leading into technological
determinist and social constructionist philosophies of technology,
and we have to ask the question whether Kittler is really a social
constructionist who proclaims that the military is the controller of
all things. (438-439) | 4.3.2 |
20121126+ | Subterranean streams of resistance to
capitalist streaming media related to rhizomes and lines of flight is
key to Berry seeking liberation from determination, capture,
effacement by instrumental reason or time of something crucial of the
human spirit, also played on by Ulmer; visit Barthes on myth. (447-448) | 5.1.1 |
20120806+ | Concludes revealing Lyotard blind region
regarding technological comportment: besides giving direction to
critical code studies, this analysis of Lyotard points to role of
working code and fossification in resisting default being of
cyberspace subjectivity because for any mode of cybernetics to
operate, there must be some information, real or virtual, transduced
or simulacral; even if there is no way to live without mediation by
digital media, there are better and worse ways to live in it, such as
regarding nature and extent of consumption and production. (448-449) | 5.1.1 |

20140629a+ | Greatest benefits will be technological
applications to education. (275) | 6.1.2 |
20140629+ | Interesting
statement the technology will enable society to make political
decisions about surveillance levels. (269) | 1.2.5 |
20140628+ | Gates
sees no problem with not caring whether interaction with other people
or simulations as long as desires are fulfilled. (164-165) | 1.2.5 |
20140627a+ | Hopes for multimedia avant garde seem foiled by
advance of mundane content and game realism; following Sterne, have
online viewing adopted such lowered expectations? (133-134) | 6.1.2 |
20140627+ | Bauerlein
argues lowered friction of distribution by Internet has dampened
tradition and allowed closed circuit of self-selected media
consumption cycles dominated by low word count social messages. (122) | 1.3.2 |
20140625p+ | Types
of navigation fairly clear, and predictions that while many emergent
uses will be humorous and entertaining, others will be strictly
practical and serious; does not predict much yet about emergence of
side of highway opposite humans, Lanier siren servers. (86) | 6.1.2 |
20140625o+ | Social
user interface provided by agents and softer software may be
considered creepy attempts to humanize computer, but notes high
degree of deference given to mechanical agents; relate Hayles on
uncanny valley and Turkle on robotic moment. (85) | 6.1.2 |
20140625n+ | Desire
for agent to take over human functions like managing project
schedules, though current versions do not remember much or reason
well, and may become too annoying. (84) | 6.1.2 |
20140625m+ | Agents
as softer software; relate to Thrift on changes senses of position
and juxtaposition. (84) | 6.1.2 |
20140625l+ | Account
of virtual navigation through museum gallery reflects privileged,
prior embodied experience; Bauerlein connects these features to
tendency of dumbest generation to not look beyond its own self
interests. (80) | 6.1.2 |
20140625k+ | Examples
of filters, spatial navigation and agents as new knowledge tools
latent in information highway. (80) | 6.1.2 |
20140625j+ | Speech
and handwriting recognition still Holy Grails despite admitted
optimism by Gates that generic text recognition was more feasible. (77-78) | 6.1.2 |
20140625i+ | Kiosks
will provide information highway and wallet PC features to the
masses. (77) | 6.1.2 |
20140625h+ | Wallet
PC as separate information appliance subsumed in mobile phone, in
which case Apple wins with the iPhone. (74) | 6.1.2 |
20140625g+ | While
correct that mobile phones will have screens and cameras and notebook
computers will approach paper tablet proportions, failed prediction
that digital whiteboards will replace blackboards should be
considered in terms of Heim electric writing and Hayles MSA. (71) | 6.1.2 |
20140625f+ | Viewing
distance between television and computer monitor as media-specific
characteristic; digital whiteboard more like television, notebooks
and mobile devices more like PCs. (71) | 6.1.2 |
20140625e+ | Lesson about PC killer applications from Lotus
1-2-3 to combination of services predicted of the information
highway; note the ordering of offerings seems inverse of current
prioritization on social networking, commerce and entertainment, with
the personal search for knowledge minimized. (68) | 6.1.2 |
20140625d+ | Asynchronous communication forms offer
increased variety and selection possibilities, bolstering assumption
that information highway technology will make our lives easier and
better; contrast to criticism by Bauerlein and others of resulting
bad habits. (66) | 6.1.2 |

speech recognition major draws. (63) | 6.1.2 |
20140625a+ | Thousands
of wasted years of effort trying to deliver next generation personal
computing platform by IBM and Microsoft. (62) | 6.1.2 |
20140625+ | Definition
of open by Gates as offering hardware and software applications
choices in spite of history of monopolizing practices by his company. (60) | 6.1.2 |
20140624a+ | Shift
in means of instructing computers by manipulating pictures rather
than text must be considered in relation to side effect for humans,
where Kemeny praised instructing the computer by programming. (50-51) | 6.1.2 |
20140624+ | Use
of 16 bit microprocessor changed potential of personal computer from
toy to business tool; reading Gates critically as a default
philosopher of computing is just taking Latour and other SCOT
theorists seriously. (47) | 6.1.2 |
20140623+ | Critical
success factors for information highway given by Gates should be
evaluated after 20 years. (35) | 1.3.2 |
20140619+ | Gates
a default philosopher of computing because he is intentionally
directing the fruition of his vision towards ultimate market and new
form of human communication. (7) | 1.2.5 |
20140524z+ | Final
critical assessment is that information highway will provide choices
for connecting people with entertainment, information, and each
other. (274) | 1.3.2 |
20140524y+ | Historical
impact of information highway on par with scientific method,
printing, and industrial manufacturing; by now most of the
predications Gates made should have materialized. (273) | 1.3.2 |
20140524x+ | Defense
of representative government model for middleman value add, whose
performance can be better monitored via the information highway. (272) | 6.1.2 |
20140524w+ | Media
advances affect politics; argues information highway will empower
citizen interest groups and allow even smallest cause to be debated. (271) | 1.2.5 |
20140524v+ | Believes
governments will be unable to tap or decrypt everyday personal
computer data; ironic statement following NSA revelations by Snowden. (270) | 6.1.2 |
20140524u+ | Pervasive
surveillance unremarkable: to other critics this is a major concern,
but Gates is a proponent of accepting the tradeoff of lost anonymity
and privacy in exchange for increased security, foreseeing 9/11
aftermath. (269) | 6.1.2 |
20140524t+ | Gates
find complete life documentation chilling, but does provide digital
alibi; black box data recorders and cameras everywhere. (268) | 6.1.2 |
20140524s+ | Concern
for loss of privacy by correlating disparate data repositories. (266) | 6.1.2 |
20140524r+ | A
potential weapon of math destruction is a breakthrough in factoring
large prime numbers; no backup technique ready to deploy. (265-266) | 6.1.2 |
20140524q+ | More
concerned about cryptographic vulnerabilities and sloppy security
leading to digital disasters than dumbing down society through
habitual Internet use. (264) | 6.1.2 |
20140524p+ | Gates
proposes speed bumps as voluntary resistance to VR addiction for
those becoming Weizenbaum computer bums or robotic moment. (264) | 6.1.2 |
20140524o+ | Gates
not worried about revolution of expectations by the disenfranchised
or xenophobia. (262) | 1.2.5 |

net effect will be wealthier world. (261) | 1.2.5 |
20140524l+ | Example
of unfair tax burden on the wealthy for using public services applied
to universal service doctrine for media access in rural areas. (260) | 6.1.2 |
20140524k+ | Ethical
problems surrounding distributing information as intellectual
property similar to medicine, focusing on high development costs
rather than manufacturing and distribution. (259) | 1.2.5 |
20140524j+ | Settle
for virtual equity, as if access to information equalizes social
situations. (258-259) | 1.2.5 |
20140524i+ | Long
term philosophical issues include correcting gender imbalances in
developing computer expertise. (258) | 1.3.2 |
20140524h+ | Egalitarian
access to most information. (257) | 1.2.5 |
20140524g+ | Requirement
of mostly free computing has led to siren server oligopolies
according to Lanier; Gates points to shift from other traditional
sources of information and entertainment. (256) | 6.1.2 |
20140524f+ | Incorporate
sense of procedural rhetoric as general problem solving skill and
component of lifelong learning, again consonant with projective city;
first step is to come to terms with computers so PCs become tools
instead of threats. (254) | 2.2.4 |
20140524e+ | Claims
that few business sectors have been hurt by the PC, and job
categories always changing, ignore shift to flexibility and part time
status imposed on workers so important to Boltanski and Chiapello. (252) | 1.2.5 |
20140524d+ | Gates
takes position of philosopher king, a big person of the developing
projective city; strange to call it a revolution if the plan is to
manage its arrival. (252) | 1.2.5 |
20140524c+ | First
concern is dislocation of workers, creating need for retraining. (251) | 1.2.5 |
20140524b+ | Shifting
richness defining good life. (251) | 1.2.5 |
20140524a+ | Optimistic
predictions of impact on masses, reminiscent of Phaedrus. (250-251) | 1.2.5 |
20140524+ | Could be a whole area of study for the
philosophy of computing to discern what Gates intends by the title of
this final chapter, critical issues; to him it means people
understanding how the future will be different as the information
highway evolves. (250) | 1.3.2 |
20140521g+ | Study
what is popular with PCs connected to the Internet to know where the
future is going. (249) | 1.3.2 |
20140521f+ | Skeptical
of corporate mergers because most businesses have a core competency;
alliances preferred. (248) | 6.1.2 |
20140521e+ | Market
will influence user interface, funding mechanisms, and technical
aspects of network design. (247) | 6.1.2 |
20140521d+ | Use
generic PCs to do the work coordinating network services and spawn
new devices like set-top boxes; did not foresee floss as viable
software solution. (245) | 6.1.2 |
20140521c+ | Other
providers include railroad companies, satellites, and ground-based
wireless. (243) | 6.1.2 |
20140521b+ | Expects
ISDN adoption to outpace broadband cable solutions; ambitions of both
go beyond providing access. (241) | 6.1.2 |
20140521a+ | New
Zealand success with privatized phone company shows value of open
telecommunications market; praise for procompetition regulations and
concern about government sponsored boondoggles like Japanese
Hi-Vision TV project, but no credit to government sponsorship of
Arpanet and TCP/IP. (237) | 6.1.2 |
20140521+ | South
Korea has large percentage of PCs going into homes, where Gates sees
a lucrative market. (237) | 6.1.2 |
20140520g+ | France
Minitel has already stimulated interest with online systems, Germany
lowered ISDN prices, and PC penetration higher in Nordic countries
than in the US, whereas Japanese adoption hindered by character set
and entrenched word processing machine business. (236) | 6.1.2 |
20140520f+ | China
wishes to enter information highway while maintaining control,
foreshadowing mass data collection and surveillance practices. (236) | 6.1.2 |
20140520e+ | Advantage
of Singapore population density and focus on infrastructure, with
admission that cultural maintenance requires mechanisms besides
censorship. (235-236) | 6.1.2 |
20140520d+ | Philosophical
position do not legislate compatibility for computing technology
because it is so dynamic. (234) | 6.1.2 |
20140520c+ | Deregulations
of communications needed; look at successes and failures of PTT
monopolies in other countries, as Abbate does. (232) | 6.1.2 |
20140520b+ | Entrepreneurship
and market-driven decisions will shape development of information
highway as it did the personal computer industry. (231) | 6.1.2 |
20140520a+ | Trials
will determine what applications will appeal to the public and become
killer apps of the Internet; does not mention porn. (230) | 6.1.2 |
20140520+ | Need widespread broadband access to create
large market that drives investments. (228) | 6.1.2 |
20140519m+ | Gates
company Corbis building archive of digital images; believes easy
access to reproductions will not reduce interest in experiencing real
works, but misses convergence of interest on mundane images popular
on social media networks that Bauerlein decries. (224) | 6.1.2 |
20140519l+ | Instrumentation
in Gates house that tracks and remembers user preferences, and
tallies all sorts of things, will become substrate of information
highway. (222) | 6.1.2 |
20140519k+ | Gates
does not expect robots in widespread consumer use beyond intelligent
toys; evident that his philosophy of robotics assumes computationally
intensive representational processing, contra later Clark and
Chalmers. (221-222) | 6.1.2 |
20140519j+ | Combining
traditions of unobtrusive service and treatment based on possession
of symbolic objects. (221) | 6.1.2 |
20140519i+ | Electronic
pin will allow house computers to track movement of occupants; array
of monitors foreshadows Manovich big data displays. (217) | 6.1.2 |
20140519h+ | Changes
to architecture later studied by Kitchin and Dodge theorized and
tested with the extravagant house Gates is building. (214) | 1.2.5 |
20140519g+ | Lots
of overhead implicit in regulating interruptions that have not come
to fruition yet, habituating us to being always on instead, per
Rushkoff. (213) | 6.1.2 |
20140519f+ | Belief
that more choices come with more information, and less face-to-face
visits do not isolate us; believes we will have better control over
access to our attention by others by explicitly indicating allowable
interruptions. (212-213) | 6.1.2 |
20140519e+ | Concerns
about access to more information than overseers desire. (212) | 6.1.2 |
20140519d+ | Online
communities. (211) | 6.1.2 |
20140519c+ | Predictions
about explosion in online gaming, interactive television game shows,
gambling, interest communities no matter how specific. (208) | 6.1.2 |
20140519b+ | Example
of Warren Buffet warming to the highway to play bridge is definitely
an outlier. (207-208) | 6.1.2 |
20140519a+ | True the geographically distant people can
communicate with more ease, for example virtual dating practiced by
Gates and online games; does not consider lowered expectations when
in person that Turkle and Rushkoff call being alone together. (206) | 6.1.2 |
20140519+ | Fear that the information highway will turn
homes into cozy entertainment providers prelude to Turkle alone
together, although Gates wants to argue the contrary. (205) | 1.2.5 |
20140515q+ | Opportunities for unofficial students to seek
lifelong learning, altering focus of education from institution to
individual, as described by Boltanski and Chiapello of the projective
city. (203) | 6.1.2 |
20140515p+ | Asserts technology will not isolate students by
giving examples of successes in collaborative learning, email,
learning circles, ignoring majority experience that Bauerlein and
Turkle highlight of forms of collaboration that are at best being
alone together; he makes the assumption that what happens in most
creative classrooms using technology foreshadows eventual norms. (200) | 6.1.2 |
20140515o+ | Use of simulations and models combines
gamefication with education particularly well with science topics;
eventually VR rooms. (199) | 6.1.2 |
20140515n+ | Learning with computer springboard for learning
away from computer promotes role of teacher as coach. (198) | 6.1.2 |
20140515m+ | Choice
among materials and types of schooling. (198) | 6.1.2 |
20140515l+ | Fundamental
social problems need fixed; misses ignorance of tradition, decline in
literacy, and indulgence that Bauerlein highlights. (197) | 1.2.5 |
20140515k+ | Prelude
to gamefication. (197) | 6.1.2 |
20140515j+ | Believes
attitude toward tests will change through self-quizzing, for those
students who care to do so. (195) | 6.1.2 |
20140515i+ | Despite
prior emphatic denial, social interfaces will become substitutes for
search, dialogue, and coaching; compare to primers in Stephenson
Diamond Age. (195) | 6.1.2 |
20140515h+ | Parents
can help kids by teaching them the software they use at work, a great
marketing strategy for Microsoft. (191) | 6.1.2 |
20140515g+ | Educational
software systems will keep better records to reveal individual needs,
and teachers will have more time and energy to meet those needs once
relieved of tedious paperwork. (190) | 6.1.2 |
20140515f+ | Positive
feedback effect on education by increasing education workforce,
sharing materials, and rewarding best practices. (187) | 6.1.2 |
20140515e+ | Assumed
procedural enthymeme that using the Internet will encourage children
to discover and exploit their native talents regardless of social and
familial environment. (185-186) | 6.1.2 |
20140515d+ | Emphatic
that technology will not replace roles of teachers, administrators,
parents, or students; contrast to arguments about effects of new
spirit of capitalism and formation of projective city. (185) | 6.1.2 |
20140515c+ | Gates
believes availability of information will spark curiosity, whereas
Bauerlein argues that unguided and uninformed by tradition, children
are lured into limited peer interests. (185) | 1.3.2 |
20140515b+ | Mass customized curriculum, or new models of
technology assisted standardized curriculum? (185) | 6.1.2 |
20140515a+ | Gardner
argues for multiple methods to accommodate every kind of learner:
contrast to Bauerlein assessment of failure of technologically
enhanced classrooms to yield improvements. (185) | 6.1.2 |
20140515+ | Privileged experience offers examples of
education humanizing education. (184) | 6.1.2 |
20140514m+ | Victorious
capitalism is the best constructed economic system, and the
information highway will magnify its advantages: Adam Smith would be
pleased, and consumers will enjoy the benefits. (183) | 6.1.2 |
20140514l+ | Optimistic
employment outlook based on tasks undone and new tasks engendered by
the information highway, but not considering transformation and
effects of the spirit of capitalism. (182-183) | 6.1.2 |
20140514k+ | Direct
consumer access to financial markets will increase volume of
transactions; asserts Microsoft will not become a bank or store. (181) | 6.1.2 |
20140514j+ | Roles
of middlemen and physical travel for meetings will erode. (178) | 6.1.2 |
20140514i+ | Innovations
in licensing intellectual property and releasing content. (175) | 6.1.2 |
20140514h+ | Overly optimistic about email filtering;
incentives to look at advertising as response to automated message
filtering. (173) | 6.1.2 |
20140514g+ | Crucial
that individuals have access to their profile information, and access
by third parties are regulated: exactly what we do not have under
siren server oligopolies. (169) | 6.1.2 |
20140514f+ | Newsletter
style customized information before the blogging craze. (167) | 6.1.2 |
20140514e+ | Manufacturing
will embrace just in time customization and delivery will be big
business. (166) | 6.1.2 |
20140514d+ | Product
placement and unobtrusively buying opportunities; compare to recently
announced Amazon phone. (165) | 6.1.2 |
20140514c+ | Comfort
with expert systems and software agents will lead to Turkle robotic
moment; the experience of interacting with expert systems consummates
the same dream of living writing from antiquity. (164-165) | 5.2.1 |
20140514b+ | Predicts
need for sales consultants as binding between advice and sales
diminishes. (164) | 6.1.2 |
20140514a+ | Alludes to cultural segmentation and
standardization through evolving netiquette, though still frontier
mentality in 1995; need more sophisticated regulation mechanisms. (161) | 6.1.2 |
20140514+ | Ideal markets realized by electronic
information exchange, expected that the network will function as
impartial middleman creating a heaven for shoppers; contrast to
Lanier assessment that the systems have been designed to advantage
siren servers. (157-158) | 6.1.2 |
20140512j+ | Predictions
by Gates about transformations faster PCs and information highway may
bring are literally queuing up the projective city of the new spirit
of capitalism articulated by Boltanski and Chiapello, which becomes
topic of next chapter; his advice is to become informed, sidestepping
issue of participatory involvement or outright rebellion. (156) | 1.3.2 |
20140512i+ | Allow
escape for the privileged from social problems of crowded urban
areas; despite predicted savings, positive feedback cycle encouraging
rural living may not scale, and would affect urban tax base,
aggravating woes. (155) | 6.1.2 |
20140512h+ | Reengineering
boundaries inside workplace, next between suppliers and customers, as
Castells, Spinuzzi, Boltanski and Chiapello studied. (153) | 6.1.2 |
20140512g+ | Future
jobs will specify in office and out of office hours, and use of part
time labor by customer service organizations will expand; cell phone
and Internet use at work loosens boundaries inside the office. (152) | 6.1.2 |
20140512f+ | Realistic
synthetic images. (151) | 6.1.2 |
20140512e+ | Videoconferencing
and synchronous sharing have not matured as quickly as predicted,
although we are accustomed to watching video meetings; assumes people
more attentive if they know they are on camera, side communications
will be easier, and unwritten rules will be forced to be made more
explicit with network mediation. (149) | 6.1.2 |
20140512d+ | Appeals
to unforeseen uses of electronic mail like paying bills, scheduling
meetings, and exchanging documents, although still difficult to ask
questions and dispute charges asynchronously. (145) | 6.1.2 |
20140512c+ | Email
in use internally at Microsoft since early 1980s, but there are
concerns of security and privacy over external networks. (142) | 6.1.2 |
20140512b+ | Examples
of spreadsheets, and predictions of high quality graphics
three-dimensional graphics, speech recognition, and networking
present benefits of PCs and the information highway reminiscent of
Theuth of Phaedrus since Gates is planning to implement his visions. (139) | 6.1.2 |
20140512a+ | Personal
computers allow small businesses to operate like larger ones. (137) | 6.1.2 |
20140512+ | Obvious that software and networks will be
nervous system of organizations and encourage decentralization,
whereas impact on artistic output less clear; compare to Castells and
Manovich. (135-136) | 6.1.2 |
20140503j+ | Best
descriptions of VR come from cyberpunk science fiction of Gibson, and
history suggests big early market will be virtual sex, for which
video porn has already proven the rule. (133) | 6.1.2 |
20140503i+ | Predicts
simulation will overtake recording reality, pointing to virtual
reality destinies fooling the senses, beginning with hearing and
vision. (129) | 6.1.2 |
20140503h+ | Too
much effort still required for users to create multimedia content;
predicts future PC developments will give amateurs same tools as
professionals. (128) | 6.1.2 |
20140503g+ | Per
McLuhan and Hayles, new medium will initially contain old media, as
lessons from study of CDROM development recalls for application to
online content: offering interactivity is new feature TV lacks being
leveraged in games, though suspension of disbelief is fragile, as
Ryan discusses with more nuance. (126) | 6.1.2 |
20140503f+ | Revenue
flow to information providers will birth a new mass medium; most
critics see this as opportunity for everyone, success for very few. (125-126) | 6.1.2 |
20140503e+ | Deploys
same argument against software piracy for evolving great online
content, calling for mechanisms for paying authors and publisher
through advertisers and other new options, but per Lanier we got
siren servers instead: a missed objective like Kemeny feared would
happen with bungled programming instruction. (125) | 6.1.2 |
20140503d+ | Distribution
friction of broadcast television and movies even higher than print
media; lower costs of cable distribution led to channel expansion,
but self publishing risks lowered by xerography and cable television
incomparable to variety of Internet bulletin boards. (122) | 6.1.2 |
20140503c+ | Printing
press taught us to read by positive feedback after generating an
installed base of readers, making print a useful means of storing
information; compare to development of computer use and programming. (120-121) | 6.1.2 |
20140503b+ | Friction
of production and distribution of paper documents reduces variety and
leaves little profit for author; brief history of its reduction by
development of printing press and Xerox copier tells texts and
technology narrative. (120) | 6.1.2 |
20140503a+ | Linear
ordering of paper documents with redundant references will remain for
narrative fiction, counter to claims of electronic literature
producers and their theorists like Hayles; artistic judgment that
linearity intrinsic to storytelling. (116) | 6.1.2 |
20140503+ | Successful
digital documents will offer new media specific features, redefining
the term document itself as well as related terms like author,
office, textbook. (113) | 6.1.2 |
20140429l+ | Acknowledgement
of need for competent security and authenticity verification
introduces lesson on private/public key encryption protocols; mailbox
analogy recalls Turkle concern about government surveillance during
McCarthy era. (108) | 6.1.2 |
20140429k+ | Predicts
security will thwart government surveillance, yet applications will
be extremely easy to use; post-9/11 social and political impact has
altered this apparently inevitable expansion of individual freedom. (106) | 6.1.2 |

of motion in physics hints at recent plea by Bill Noye that parents
not allow their children to be heavily imprinted with creationism

cultural models about learning skewed away from the sciences model. (171) | 3.1.8 |

theories of language and control, because this approach is the one

it is phallagocentric, what better means do we have of comprehending
the technologically mediated world in which we abide, although at the
same time, let the emphasis on embodiment foster situated knowledges
of the phenomenology of machine life; Haraway invites such an
approach in her call for reappropriation of sociobiological
knowledge, as below on page 164. (45) | 5.2.1 |

from this totalizing, reductive vantage perspective of ideological

nonhuman systems trace the same boundaries of fantasy as do those
surrounding her postulate that nonhuman intelligences exist in
representations of it by Memmott. (133-134) | 4.3.1 |
20130928f+ | Control system model of human being, with
importance of trauma, embodiment, tying literature to the functional
role of control system component activating feedback circuits, is an
analogy Hayles draws between studies of human body in cognition and
literature (print and electronic). (133-134) | 3.2.2 |
20130928e+ | Same Rumsfeld quote used by Zizek; this point
seems obvious given the enormous role of not consciously articulated
purposive action transmitting practices of all sorts. (132) | 3.2.4 |

20130928c+ | Deep attention versus hyper attention as
examples of ontogenic mechanisms of adaptation by Steven Johnson
(ironically, hyper attention is what makes me and perhaps other
digital immigrants turn away from The Jews Daughter and other EL
examples); Heim discusses this shift, too. (117) | 5.1.1 |
20130928b+ | Ambrose argues electronic technology breaks
monopoly of vision associated with learning. (116) | 5.1.1 |
20130928a+ | Synaptogenesis and brain plasticity combine
phylogenetic selection (genetics) and ontogenic mechanisms of
adaptation (learning); Baldwin organic selection. (114) | 5.1.1 |
20130928+ | Hansen ignores materiality of machine
cognition, thus the machine dimension on my timeline. (110) | 3.1.7 |
20130924z+ | Coevolution of body and technology in
teleological trajectory in Hansen, erasing material specificities of
technological media; consider Malabou quoting Deleuze on adequacy of
brain for modern world. (109) | 5.1.1 |
20130924y+ | Clearly a tie into Gallagher since she mentions
Francisco Valera; cannot find the reference to Demasio I remember
reading. (105) | 2.2.2 |
20130924x+ | Hansen used as foil to Kittler by foregrounding
role of embodiment in perceptual experience. (102-103) | 2.2.2 |
20130924w+ | Instead of calling the market a mind, call it a
megaentity; does this then exclude interpreting it with respect to
Gallagher body image/body schema distinction? (98) | 3.1.10 |
20130924v+ | Ethnographic studies of international currency

to Phaedrus with the close loop feedback difference between
electronic and print literature. (83) | 3.1.8 |
20130924r+ | Genetic algorithm as complex adaptive system
involving player choices. (82-83) | 3.1.8 |
20130924q+ | Dennett Multiple Drafts Model is very rich but
complicated reinterpretation of consciousness as an epiphenomenon in
which there is no self, only an illusion of one. (79) | 5.1.1 |

Mencia; go back to this in more detail. (71) | 3.1.8 |
20130924o+ | Ulmer electracy represents shift from print

20130924j+ | This choice of wording suggests that a more
sensitive study of free, open source cultural movements can expand
the perspective taken by Mackenzie and/or Hayles. (39) | 3.1.8 |
20130924i+ | McGann argues print texts have always used
markup languages. (35) | 3.1.8 |
20130924h+ | Galloway emphasis on code as only executable
language means any study of electronic literature may, or ought, to
include some analysis of the source code and enframing technologies,
so the implications of availability of the source code are obvious
here; additionally raising questions where is the boundary between
the source code of the work and the surrounding operating
environment, and what is the status of database records and ephemera
of the running of the code? (35) | 3.2.2 |
20130924g+ | They are two different things, being
dynamically reconfigurable and being deconstructive. (32) | 3.1.8 |
20130924f+ | The limitation of current technologies
reflected in state of the art designs sees electronic literature as
much more restricting than the codex (book) form of literature,
overshadowing the unique capability of electronic literature to
reform itself dynamically in response to the reader; whereas
following hyperlinks may have its print correlate, this property is
unique. (31-32) | 3.1.8 |
20130924e+ | Bogost unit operation approach takes
programming languages and practices into account. (28) | 3.1.8 |
20130924d+ | Shift from literacy to electracy necessitates
new critical practices such as Kirschenbaum digital forensics and
Aarseth ergodic reading; suggest that subdivisions of forensic and
formal materiality cross in the articulation of technological
concretizations. (23) | 3.1.10 |
20130924c+ | Among those languages are programming languages
and natural languages, breaking their exclusion in Ong in Orality and
Literacy on the grounds that they could never be natural languages;
the door opened by the ready supply of ideological constants, a term
I used many years ago when I was groping at the vision now much
clearer, leads to the idea of code work usable by both human and
intelligent machines. (21) | 3.2.2 |
20130924b+ | Code work ranges from machine readable and
executable to broken code. (20-21) | 3.2.2 |
20130924a+ | Transformation of bodily experience through new
reading modes that are kinesthetic, haptic, proprioceptively vidid
experiences may in turn reshape the mind. (13) | 3.1.8 |
20130924+ | Electronic literature defined as digitally born
hybrid literary creative artworks. (3) | 3.1.8 |
20120906b+ | The next thing to consider is the question of
style, whether early versions of programs should be preserved, for we
do not have a fixed number to consider like we do ancient texts: can
you imagine an index of combinations of key phrases such as
electronic literature and code work, a sort of phasor (a degree
beyond vector in physics, and another word I used to use often in my
old notes, which I referred to a few sentences ago as a useful
hyperlink do distinguish it from all the possible combinations most
of which are nonsense)? (3) | 3.2.4 |
20120906a+ | The ELO formulation does not entail the
universal law based on the specific example of the most basic
digitization of print texts that we would all agree with Hayles does
not rise to the occasion of being sufficiently literary, a term she
will soon introduce, so despite the harsh use of conjoining exclusion
and generally Hayles has really opened the door to electronic texts
that are powered, in part, by exact digitizations of commonly
conceived as the authoritative and canonical originals, all of which
if in the public domain can be cited; in fact she says as much on
page 84. (3) | 3.1.8 |
20120906+ | Excludes digitized print literature, but what
about digitizations of print literature mediated by programs whose
source code fall within Hayles conception of EL, for she implies that
source code can be considered and interpreted as a part of EL: create
source code containing verbatim digitizations of print literature
such as ancient Greek and Latin texts beyond the grasp of any
copyright, patent, trademark or other type of law taken in the form
of the kind that put Socrates to death, not the biochemical law of
the poison he presumably drank, but the state, government, body
politic, collective consciousness, what about custom code consuming
print literature? (3) | 3.2.2 |
20111205+ | Connect novel forms of subjectivity performance
implicit in symposia project to digital humanities experimentation
into auditory virtual realities philosophizing by programming to
escape Hayles interpretation of fate of authorial voices by positing
that programming also produces ones memorable texts, narratives,
voices; important now to start adding sound and specifically text to
speech formant synthesis to virtual reality generation for humans and
computers (OGorman link). (186) | 4.1.1 |
20111204+ | Insistence by Stewart on the power of
subvocalization enriching literary language by being read through in
the body could confound the audible recreation of literary texts by
external mechanisms that also automate homophonic variants. (143) | 3.2.2 |

20130930s+ | Seconding her nod to Latour, worth looking back
to 1999 from the present to consider what kind of posthumans we have
become, thinking of Turkle and the resurgence of creationism as
indicative that conscious agency is not only not in control, but
further removed from the simulacral real virtualities of global media
systems. (291) | 5.2.1 |
20130930r+ | Contemplating machine embodiment coincides with
answering humanist agenda (Socratic maxim to know thyself): Hayles
supports Heim, positing the posthuman cyborg as cybersage, and as
discursively constructed, also working code. (291) | 4.3.2 |
20130930q+ | Can we take an epistemological stand that
becomes a driving force in defining and evolving our comportment to
the machinic realm so that it re-emerges as Zizek unknown knowns? (290) | 5.2.1 |
20130930p+ | To appreciate this already-present cybernetic
society, we study forms of ME that operate in temporal dimensions
unfathomable by human consciousness coconstituting smarter
environments after acquiring a basic understanding of first and
second wave cybernetics (amplification, closed loop feedback control,
multiplexing) to better inform our fantasies about the latent and
future feedback loops between incorporation, inscription, and
technological materiality. (290) | 4.3.2 |

embodiment; think of humans in the movie Wall-E. (205) | 3.1.3 |
20130929w+ | Embodiment mediates between technology and
discourse, affecting body use and experience of space and time; thus
we are encouraged to experiment with ME by learning machine skills,
suggesting not merely playing pinball, but that skill in itself may
have transformative implications. (205) | 4.3.1 |

20130929q+ | Not sure if my machine embodiment analogies are
working here, for example when embodied in specific systems, such as
a reverse engineered bricolage, custom code and circuitry makes sense
within the particular context, like a good-bye wave, or tuning a
system so hardware and software work together (switch detection, lamp
and display timing) often resembles describing all the nuances of
posture; another way of looking at it is at various functional levels
to orient the phenomenal field, so that tracking the flow of
electrons through the circuits is like trying to understand an
organism from the perspective of the flow of bodily fluids. (200) | 5.2.1 |
20130929p+ | Merleau-Ponty and Connerton suggest habit not
symbolizable, stored in symbols. (199) | 2.2.2 |
20130929o+ | Inscription and incorporation are terms she
turns into operators powering semiotic square, so when considering
ECM, if there is embodiment, again she leads us to the sensibility of
adopting her line of argumentation whose heads, axes, as in a semotic
square, are now inscription and incorporation; any point to look at
incorporation in code world, where inscription seems to be the norm,
perhaps as any particular system an assemblage of certain versions of
a multiplicity of software sources? (199) | 3.1.3 |

20130928o+ | This is the essence of computation,

childish consumer Horkheimer and Adorno decry as well as absorption
of calculative evil from Hollerith generations, the everyday loser

20130928l+ | Hidden essence of modern technology is
disposition of nature, including human nature, as energy supply. (234) | 3.1.7 |
20130928k+ | Token as hypomensis, eternal recurrence; to be
dissipates like a vapor. (233) | 2.1.2 |
20130928j+ | Third mode is about tradition, then fourth
mode, special interpretation of Heidegger. (230) | 2.1.2 |
20130928i+ | Thinking as legein is reason conceived as
judging, perception of reason happens as noein, and hence Parmenides
saying that is key to the text, the first mode. (229-230) | 2.1.2 |
20130928h+ | Socrates is the purest thinker in the West
because he wrote nothing, remained in the draft. (17) | 2.2.5 |
20130928g+ | Importance of the hand could link to future
discussions of embodiment. (16-17) | 3.1.7 |
20130928f+ | The danger flashes in craft lacking
relatedness, which is just busywork, so the hardest work is that of
the teacher, who must be capable of being more teachable than the
apprentices. (15) | 1.3.2 |
20130928e+ | Heidegger uses a draft of a poem as
thematically resonant; Holderlin becomes a central figure of the
lectures prior to the introduction of Nietzsche. (10) | 2.2.5 |
20130928d+ | Come to know what, thinking proper, or the
latter, or both, realizing science does not think, as the excursion
of the Nietzsche lectures serves to illuminate the tradition in a way
that bars those thinkers who are analyzed from participating in the
realization, and hence the return, to real thinking; as we learn
about the withdrawal, the encounter with the actual here seems to
indicate the standing-reserve of representation that becomes reality
through Nietzsche. (7-8) | 3.1.7 |
20130928c+ | Interest means being among things, which Hayles
and others promote as focal point of subjectivity studies. (5) | 2.1.2 |
20130928b+ | Why would VR apparatus be of aid to the
philosopher, perhaps as a distraction, a prayer-wheel whose utter
inauthenticity allows the detachment necessary in order for learning
to occur? (4) | 2.2.5 |
20130928a+ | Heidegger may have had premonitions of the
language machine as a likely (perhaps even from the standpoint of
capitalism, or from Marxist analysis) creation in the age of nuclear
electricity; however, his thought seems limited to imagining what
becomes of thinking and memory as the book form territorializes
electronic technology; from the other way around, it is the essence
of technology, which has its core in calculative thinking rather than
the phenomenological metaphysics of philosophical production, the
dreaded transformations have already occurred as a by-product. (4) | 3.1.7 |
20130928+ | Loose mooring of molar symbols. (3) | 5.2.1 |
20120329+ | A key passage in this text to juxtapose beside
the image of Plato directing a writing Socrates by Derrida and Heim
calling for a cybersage to supplant the regressive image of
humanities scholarship epitomized by the posed photograph of
Heidegger in his remote mountain hut surrounded by books. (17) | 3.2.2 |
20110818+ | Heidegger seems forced to turn away from
thoughtful creative production in order to enter the draft; what he
did not see is that this is a limitation of print, not computing (he
merely saw gross machine) technology in general, a gap Heim employs. (231) | 2.2.5 |
20110807+ | Heideggerian computer is a fantasy of what will
inevitably happen by default from the triumph of Nietzschean

20131102v+ | Heidegger connected handwriting to primordial
embodiment of human awareness; criticism of typewriting needs
rethought because word processing involves hand in nonmechanical,
nonimprinting processes. (194-195) | 3.1.7 |
20131102u+ | Literacy produces literate minds with psychic

echoed by Hayles Big Humanities as interactive digital writing

20131102r+ | Derivation of text from weaving appropriate to
electric writing, immediately linking into psychic framework and
entire world of information; continuous textuality replaces sequence
of distinct, physically separate texts; digital writing enters
network of all symbols, including vocal, graphic, musical, and now,
electronic and machinic. (160-161) | 2.2.5 |
20131102q+ | Writing closer to speed of thought makes
composition writer-based as opposed to reader-based, more hypomnemata
and thus more likely to be misunderstood on later review. (155) | 2.2.5 |

20131102g+ | Language contains essential systematic
ambiguity, making it differ from source code; fear may be that word

20130930o+ | But future technologies that are already in the

doodling, such as the huge walls of screens that are simulated in

20130930n+ | Clustering as the affordance of a large
workspace as writing area subsumed into computer systems represents
an exemplary example of optimal computing, albeit ocularcentric (a
word as alien to machine technology as auditory, which is not to
dismiss that each domain of alien experience nevertheless possesses
contours possibly describable by machine technology otherness
consciousness being). (244-245) | 2.2.5 |
20130930m+ | This statement about voice and writing is made

an example of retiring an outworn philosophical notion captured by

limitations will bound direct access. (214) | 2.2.5 |
20130930g+ | Creative abundance balanced with fragmentation

20130930a+ | Postmodern approach to extent that digital

20130930+ | Postmodern approach arguing books provide

20130929z+ | Flow of ideation prevails over dialectics of
personal conversation. (157) | 2.2.5 |
20130929y+ | Note that Ong dismisses the study of computer
languages for being unlike mother tongues, but Heim points out that
we have adopted many of their qualities as we work with computers,
such as using acronyms and abbreviations. (157) | 2.2.5 |

technology. (107) | 2.2.5 |
20130929t+ | Care is another pivotal word for Heidegger
adopted by Heim; emphasis on storage and retrieval considered
replacing care for uniqueness of work of art with marshaling
everything to be ready to use. (98) | 3.1.7 |

sensitive to historical drift and cultural trade-offs: the perfect
trade off example is the recognition by Plato that memory would
suffer from learning writing. (75) | 3.1.7 |
20130929n+ | Go beyond Ong eschatological interpretation to
Heidegger and existentism, take the focus away from communications,
which invites the optimistic sense of Hegelian progress, and look at
the changing psychic frameworks, expecting there to be gains and
losses due to the finitude of historical worlds. (69) | 2.2.5 |
20130929m+ | However, authority implicit in the material
production of written texts plays a part; this is more noticeable in
the age of late print when the bulk of printed material is junk. (64-65) | 3.1.3 |
20130929l+ | Another reason to have to consider the Greek
texts, regardless of your position on Heidegger, is use by Ong of
terms like psyche and sensorium. (59) | 3.1.3 |
20130929k+ | This is the same kind of reasoning
characterized by evolutionary theory, historical necessity wanting to
be like a path of least resistance; it is different from the
insistence on the concessions of finitude. (54) | 3.1.3 |
20130929j+ | Heim takes upon himself the responsibility of
doing the philosophical work, particularly if you have an aversion to
reading ancient Greek or the German philosopher Martin Heidegger. (49-50) | 2.1.4 |
20130929i+ | Heim insists that we all take this step and
think about ontological import for verbal symbols and word
processing, invoking Havelock and Ong. (48) | 2.2.5 |
20130929h+ | Comments upon

20130929f+ | Eastern silent intuitive action versus Western
verbose rationalization; Ong complaint? (40) | 3.1.3 |
20130929e+ | Do not look to the computer per se, or our
personal experience using word processors, the tool analysis does not
reach the depth of the interface between human and machine; consider
the problems with the best tool for the job ethic. (31) | 2.2.5 |
20130929d+ | Tempting to conflate influence of word
processing on thinking with computational metaphors for thinking. (27) | 2.2.5 |
20130929c+ | This is where the von Neumann quote takes off
in what I feel is an alternate departure than any of those Heim
intended when he implies that reducing the Socratic question to a
computational metaphor is the only way to consider our interaction
with tools. (27) | 1.3.2 |
20130929b+ | Asserting his authority as ready to begin
assessing virtual reality ahead of others who have not begun
repeating his analysis of word processing informed by his having
learned to read ancient Greek texts, another thing he assumes his
reader has not done yet as much as he has; thus his weak area is
allowing himself to say with us the computer gets the job done when
really it is all about the job the mind is doing while using its
computers that we want to consider. (27) | 2.2.5 |
20130929a+ | Is this Heim rejecting study of computer
languages, programs imbued with human readable comments and style
itself in C++ and Perl (other authors such as Hayle use Java), or
ambivalent to maybe in favor of such approaches combining
philosophical study with technical competence? (26) | 1.3.2 |

skhole of academics, able to organize ones own time. (33-34) | 6.2.2 |
20131101k+ | Hacker flextime combines activities less
rigidly, leveraging technology so humans can lead less machinelike
lives: Sundayization of Friday. (32-33) | 6.2.2 |
20131101j+ | Work-centered organization of time another
Protestant work ethic demand, strengthened by flexibility ethic and
helped by mobile technologies, so we are constantly on call reacting

competition based on promise of delivering future to consumers faster
than competitors. (23) | 6.2.2 |

time is money; Protestant ethic optimization of time now applied to
shorter units (Weber and Castells). (20) | 6.2.2 |
20131101f+ | Hacker purpose of life is Sunday rather than
Friday; the work week is not a toilsome means to an end. (18) | 6.2.2 |

interesting, inspiring and joyous, comparable to Plato passion for
philosophy. (6) | 6.2.2 |

as well as platform providing entertainment; contrast to television,
videogames and books. (xvii) | 6.2.2 |
20131101a+ | Linus views evolutionary progress through basic
motivational categories if survival, social life, entertainment;
entertainment is intrinsically interesting and challenging, related

scholarly material over Internet became new focus. (13) | 1.3.3 |
20140914d+ | Impact of Web
initially missed by entrenched humanities computing practitioners,
just as Microsoft did; TEI adherents criticized HTML as weak,
appearance based markup system like word processor formats. (13) | 1.3.3 |
20140914c+ | Divergence
of spin off disciplines like computers and writing, and linguistic
computing, which served defense and speech analysis communities
without much communication between them. (13) | 1.3.3 |

20140913w+ | Personal
computer period of mid 1980s to early 1990s freed humanities
computing from the computing centers, their expertise and scrutiny;

20140913t+ | Disk
storage and relational technologies still created problems in forcing
information into tables. (9) | 1.3.3 |
20140913s+ | Programming
replaced by interface use as primary humanities computing activity
taking time from core practices. (9) | 1.3.4 |
20140913r+ | Debate
over learning programming debate included replacement for Latin as
mental discipline, but too difficult and distracting from core
humanities work; principle languages SNOBOL and Fortran. (9) | 1.3.4 |
20140913q+ | TLG
quintessential project focused on creating a new research archive
versus preserving individual projects by others. (8-9) | 1.3.3 |
20140913p+ | Oxford
Text Archive an initiative to avoid duplication of effort in text
archiving and maintenance; text preparation rather than programming
began to take majority of project time. (8) | 1.3.3 |
20140913o+ | Widening
range of interests at conferences and consolidation of common
software platforms like Oxford Concordance Program noted during
second period from 1970s to mid 1980s. (8) | 1.3.3 |

conference in 1964 forerunner of later humanities computing
conferences. (6) | 1.3.3 |
20140913i+ | COCOA
concordance program provided markup and economical file space usage;
fixed format coding the other major citation technique. (6) | 1.3.3 |
20140913h+ | Serial
processing limitation of magnetic tape affected encoding of
historical material, forcing into single linear stream. (6) | 1.3.3 |
20140913g+ | Data input,
storage, and representation recognized as key technological
limitations; nod to Unicode as breakthrough. (5) | 1.3.3 |
20140913f+ | Early
humanities computing work by Mosteller and Wallace of authorship of

demonstrating consciousness of purposes as well as reflection on
expansion of techniques. (5) | 1.3.3 |
20140913e+ | Rudimentary
hypertextual features advertised as Latin cum hypertextibus; user
guide in Latin, English, Italian. (4) | 6.2.1 |
20140913d+ | First
humanities computing software developed to parse and lemmatize
medieval Latin in what came to be semi automatic fashion; echoes in
to my own attempt to develop tapoc software to automatically write
dissertation. (4) | 1.3.3 |
20140913c+ | Busa helped by Thomas Watson at IBM to transfer
texts to punched cards and write a concordance program. (4) | 1.3.3 |
20140913b+ | Periodization perspective of humanities
computing begins with 1949 to early 1970s era by signal work of Busa
project indexing the words of Aquinas. (4) | 1.3.3 |
20140913a+ | Rigor and systematic unambiguous procedural
knowledge characteristic of sciences applied to humanities problems
previously treated serendipitously, as in through narratives relying
on literarcy associations and prior scholarship. (3) | 1.3.3 |

applications to research and teaching within humanities arts
subjects, with bias for textual sources. (3) | 1.3.3 |

20130929p+ | Culture as advertising. (133-136) | 2.1.2 |
20130929o+ | Commercialized art is advertising, consumer is
alienated, montage character reigns; another condition disrupted by
electronic technology (but keep in mind Winner), and also redoubled
by it. (131-133) | 2.1.2 |
20130929n+ | Compare joke from Nazi Germany to Zizek enjoy

20131102a+ | Ihde began with phenomenology of
instrumentation and human-technology relations and arrived at
magnification/reduction transformation. (111) | 3.1.7 |
20131102+ | Theme of early inventors disagreement with
Aristotle; nonetheless by machines whose designs were recovered from
Roman, Hellenic, Asian sources earth began to be transformed. (11) | 3.1.7 |
20130930l+ | Philosophers need to pick up soldering irons
and work at the basic level of research and development where they
now dare to tread, beyond the already developed consumer level, doing
what McGann calls poiesis-as-theory; therefore also philosophy must
learn to operate at developmental level of computing systems,
devices, and so on, for which goal my approach seems well suited. (140) | 1.3.4 |
20130930k+ | In past years I would have made a big deal
about the mistyped non-neturality, suggesting this passage hovers
near the unthought of the authors, editors, proofreaders. (138-139) | 5.2.1 |
20130930j+ | Pluriculture already prevalent. (135) | 3.1.7 |
20130930i+ | Influence of using computers in directing
attention; compare to Hayles on reciprocity between computing,
cognitive science, and neurobiology. (128) | 2.2.1 |
20130930h+ | Is the designer fallacy a shortcoming of
hermeneutic phenomenology when it comes to understanding ensembles
(networks)? (116) | 3.1.4 |
20130930g+ | Metaphor of culinary eclecticism works better
than Marx multitalented unalienated worker, though it emphasizes
consumption. (115) | 3.1.7 |
20130930f+ | Compare plurivision to Nietzsche multiple
perspectives in Levin. (114) | 3.1.7 |
20130930e+ | Navigation example reminiscent of Suchman. (113) | 3.1.7 |
20130930d+ | Borgmann poses existential questions forced by
technological utopia Adorno claims is only put off by warfare,
blaming the device paradigm versus focal things leading to failures
in optimistic promises of capitalist liberalism. (109) | 3.1.7 |
20130930c+ | Winner social and technological determinism,
forms of life. (100) | 3.1.7 |
20130930b+ | Explicitly avoids Mumford and Fuller, claiming
to focus on critically developed philosophical works, including Marx,
Heidegger, Ellul, Marcuse, Ortega y Gassett, Rapp, Goffi, Ferre,
Winner, Borgman, and Ihde himself. (97) | 3.1.7 |
20130930a+ | Emergence of corporate structured, big science. (76-77) | 3.1.7 |
20130930+ | Scientifically derived technology implies idea,
representation, explanatory model, design comes first; thus modernism
harbors postmodern conditions: the example of plastics is exemplary
of the theory, idea, design, prehistory of trials and failed attempts
only supportable by huge corporations and institutions, model coming
first; Ihde does not draw out these themes in his discussion of
postmodernism at the end of chapter three. (67) | 3.1.7 |
20130929y+ | Transformation of seeing by clock, map, and
writing, fulfilling McLuhan law role of media representing other
media, phenomena enmeshed in the world, as in Castells spatialization
of time, true instrumentality. (59) | 3.1.7 |
20130929x+ | Include Clark extended mind and Hayles examples
for explicit connection to texts and technology. (53-54) | 3.1.7 |
20130929w+ | Strong definition of technology significantly
more narrower and descriptive than calculative and rational
techniques, including requirements of concrete, praxical components
and inclusive of relations to humans, thus historically situated and
culturally embedded. (47) | 3.1.7 |
20130929v+ | Anglo-American analytic philosophy of science
tradition unconcerned with technology, but phenomenological,
pragmatist, and political traditions foreground technology. (46) | 3.1.4 |
20130929u+ | Dewey modeled philosophy on technological model
of inquiry. (42) | 3.1.7 |
20130929t+ | Heidegger foregrounds invisibility of
technology and its systemic rootedness. (40) | 2.1.3 |
20130929s+ | Habermas technocratic consciousness of late
capitalist technology. (37) | 3.1.7 |
20130929r+ | Threats of autonomous technology, subsumption
of all other styles into calculative thinking, docile social control,
and technocratic consciousness dominant philosophical positions prior
to Ihde epoch; add Foucault to Habermas, Ellul, Marcuse. (33) | 2.1.3 |
20130929q+ | Traditional philosophy favors Descartes over
Bacon, for which Ihde argues in consequence the instrumental and
technical sides of scientific practice overlooked; they are
overlooked in favor of the logic, and ignorant of material modes of
production shaped by technologies, and finally role of cultural and
social knowledge in forming (informing) technologies; saved by praxis
philosophers like Marx, leading to Kuhn and modern history and
philosophy of science and technology studies. (29) | 3.1.4 |
20130929p+ | Curious that Turkle uses similar term of
evocative objects, as if new developments arising from modern
technology. (28) | 3.1.7 |
20130929o+ | Interesting the Gee gives the example of
incorrect assumptions about force in physics; here power
metaphorically includes instrumentally embodied cognition further
leveraging affordances of built environment, and indirect leverage of
Bacon evoking devices. (28) | 3.1.7 |
20130929n+ | Aesthetics-bound engineering in Greek examples;
contrast Galileo experimentalism. (23) | 3.1.7 |
20130929m+ | Explain why modern technology is fundamentally
better as evolutionary result of Clark supersized mind model,
including instrumentality and other concertized affordances; Misa
gives substance to argument why it is an outcome of economies of
scale, and Castells more cultural specific Zizekian deformations. (19) | 3.1.7 |
20130929l+ | Philosophy and humanities missed a chance to
evolve synergetically with science during Industrial Revolution,
leading to crisis in philosophy from which emerged problem-centered,
particular problems focus which forms focus of projects to Boltanski
and Chiapello. (16) | 3.1.4 |
20130929k+ | Connects Kapp and Bunge but argues philosophy
of technology has only gained disciplinary recognition in the 1970s. (14) | 1.2.5 |
20130929j+ | Philosophy transitions from engineering to
interpreter; thus OGorman urges digital humanities scholars to pick
up soldering irons. (13) | 2.1.3 |
20130929i+ | Could it be argued, for the game, that a lot of
energy was wasted disagreeing with Aristotle, like reverse
engineering proprietary objects and systems? (11) | 5.2.1 |
20130929h+ | Importance of Islamic science preserving
classical thought as well as developing instrumentally embodied
science. (9) | 3.1.7 |
20130929g+ | First treatise on engineering attributed to
ancient philosopher Strato: the modernist tradition must look back
this far, at least, in studying of its origins, as well as consider
its embodiment in Islamic science, where instrumental embodiment
developed, prior to the Renaissance and Enlightenment formally
ushering in modernity and finally technology. (8) | 3.1.7 |
20130929f+ | Modern science starts in the past, well covered
by philosophy; presents an informative prehistory to pick up with
Misa. (5) | 3.1.7 |
20130929e+ | Lucky moving to other side of world or
traveling versus stasis of Socrates in the local campus network. (xii) | 2.1.3 |
20130929d+ | Interesting epistemological image of magical
device like self-deforming mold/sieve expressed by Deleuze. (xii) | 3.1.10 |
20130929c+ | Here is where to include FOSS if doing an
update or adapting. (xii) | 3.2.2 |
20130929b+ | Unthought ancient philosophy in technology
blooms for which I have named many authors and texts as well. (xii) | 5.3.1 |
20130929a+ | Desire for humanities component in introductory
philosophy; why not in technology studies as well, as I recall having
such a course? (xi) | 1.3.4 |
20130929+ | Current task is to move on to correct neglect
of technology in philosophical history. (xi) | 3.1.7 |
20121130+ | Ihde
lifeworld technologies focus on instrument use results in gains and
losses in embodiment relations and hermeneutics: this approach seems
limited by presupposing transcendental objects that are variously
mediated by human perception and instrumentation, missing the point
that we have been posthuman for a long time, though goes beyond his
point that technologies are culturally embedded; compare to Hayles
How We Think and Bogost Alien Phenomenology. (111-112) | 3.1.7 |
20121019+ | Philosophy of technology a latecomer in
American philosophy, but we come first preposition operator PHI

20120807+ | Make philosophy of computing necessary like
Ihde technology should be my goal and niche. (xiii) | 1.3.4 |

ocularcentrism. (119) | 0.0.0 |
20010306+ | Noted in early reading as why Ihde is important

20130930c+ | Perhaps Maner did not think of the important
self-involving ethical question of whether to practice programming,
or how computers resemble writing as pharmaka, relating them to
ancient ethical arguments: Kittler cautions drawing such simple
conclusions, however, that Turkles work exists, and a generation of
Americans were taught to use computers and program them in public
schools, and for that movement to recede, seems sufficient evidence
that ethical questions regarding computers were not thoroughly
considered by philosophers. (18) | 5.2.1 |
20130930b+ | This dismissal of Maner ignores the unique
ethical questions raised regarding choices and computer technologies,
that influenced situated actions, especially meta questions such as
whether to learn to program them. (18) | 1.2.5 |

be employed to address problems, yet ignorance of details of
technologies seems to conceal important ethical tracks like the uses

introduction of sociotechnical computer ethics. (17-18) | 1.2.5 |

20130313b+ | Continuous film photographic storage like Bush
Memex that will likely be digitized foreshadowing media convergence;
at least store abstracts (metadata) in machine-readable forms in high
speed memory. (90) | 6.1.2 |
20130313a+ | Instead of this library, which includes a fee,
we got the commercial Internet: is this an aspect of how we have
unintentionally subverted better intentions for the human computer
symbiosis, as here they problems of storage, search, transmission;
also consider Janz on problems using search for philosophical
questions. (87) | 6.1.2 |
20130313+ | Interesting comparison between passive
relationship for learning by phonograph and CAI that does not demand
reflexive knowledge of programming; elevate to becoming stupid having
lost essential practice of teaching the computer to think to solve
problems formerly worked by human computers. (80) | 6.1.2 |
20130312+ | Learning by programming versus learning through
solely human team activities (encompassing students working together
and teacher student relations) depends on unique ability of computers
to execute code at very high cycle rates for a comparative eternity
for human cognition; at this level is distinguishable from other
forms of computer-aided instruction on account of the being forced to
teach the computer aspect, and is degraded surface interface
interaction satisfaction; the argument needs to be made why
programming is part of optimal symbiosis (comportment): despite
accurate predictions about the emergence of the global Internet
Kemeny was overly optimistic that programming would remain
sufficiently valorized once sound, intuitive, user friendly
interfaces arose in massive software projects like Microsoft Windows,
Apple OS, and GNU/Linux floss. (79) | 3.2.4 |
20130310g+ | That we have swallowed this dual assumption
today points to the subsumption of human intellect into collective
consciousness entangled with the machines: recall prior arguments
about material specific advantages of spiral bound manuals and other
forms of programming instruction noted by critical code studies
theorists (Montfort et al). (74) | 6.1.2 |
20130310f+ | Shifted expectation that instructors would
develop their own programs for teaching, perhaps echoing past
assumption they would publish their own textbooks. (74) | 6.1.2 |
20130310e+ | John Kemeny, inventor of BASIC programming
language, shared the optimism of Licklider that a great future of
continuous improvement was in store for both machines and humans;
ironically, the outcome is human devolution and machine evolution,
unless we change course. (71) | 1.1.1 |
20130310d+ | Prescient of present Internet although
envisaged as low cost terminals fed by distant networks; wait, that
is what happened. (68) | 6.1.2 |
20130310c+ | Today this is the basic home computer whose
price is at an all time low, setting up multiplied dissemination for
beyond college students envisioned by Kemeny half a century ago. (66) | 6.1.2 |
20130310b+ | Interesting design constraint differentiating
phenomena that can occur in the heart of the CPU versus at a

process cycle. (64) | 6.1.2 |

20130310+ | Makes explicit philosophical pronouncement that
we can question or put on the back burner to move forward with
working code rather than social critique, is socialism required to
achieve utopia where most people program, also being subsumed by
floss (this will toward more government spending to maximize extent
of everyone working code). (57) | 6.1.2 |
20130307y+ | Procedural rhetoric example of Ramsay
pataphysic production of imperative narrative describing a means of
thinking about machine operations, which is also a machine way of
thinking about humans, by considering how humans think about
machines. (46-47) | 3.2.2 |
20130307x+ | Human struggle to grasp machine perspective,
which Bogost calls alien phenomenology. (46-47) | 6.1.2 |
20130307w+ | That we are collectively not bothered that
programming skill may devolve from anticipated height in 1980s to
mere use competency evidence in current absence of widespread
programming instruction; instead, the deep thinker following how
software works in order to use it is replaced by the manipulation of
complex user interfaces distributed among countless other software
systems. (42-43) | 1.2.3 |
20130307v+ | The ubiquitous mobile device fulfills
prediction, although what is not stated is that nontrivial cost
ranges will exist nonetheless, in part because his prediction that
government would spend more on programming education turned out to be
wrong. (42) | 6.1.2 |
20130307u+ | Executive system like supervisory control of
pinball game. (42) | 4.3.1 |
20130307t+ | Ambiguous ordering of executive system as it
seems from a real time, time sharing perspective editing, listing and
saving as user commands beyond ordinary execution would be more
important: perhaps the other direction makes sense only in terms of
gross CPU time spent doing everything; then again, it matters how
many programs were typically executing, for users spent most of their
time editing them; they were not constantly running along with them
they way things do now in the distributed application world with
which we communicate. (42) | 6.1.2 |
20130307s+ | Scale of resources available for general use on
DTSS dwarfs anything proposed by von Neumann, although even its
multiteletype hookup today exceeded many orders of magnitude by
Internet capabilities, yet still abysally short of UTM: the
materiality of code is expansive. (41) | 6.1.2 |
20130307r+ | Networked human team with single computer only

20130307q+ | Fear of embarrassment of not knowing how to use
absent digital natives, who play lots of locally modified games
available in the library, a sort of local culture surrounding DTSS
rather than discrete physical human communication spaces and places. (35) | 6.1.2 |
20130307p+ | Opportunities for big humanities as faculty
quickly adapted to using computers by outsourcing implementation to
underlings. (34) | 6.1.2 |
20130307o+ | Freedom zero to run software for any reason in
the program library environment considered like human library with
further freedoms due to nondestructive nature, up to the point that
too many resources are being used. (33) | 6.1.2 |
20130307n+ | Amusing to think where this measure would be
expressed now that the capitalist market pervades everyday computer
use. (33) | 6.1.2 |
20130307m+ | Privacy to make mistakes key to learning, which
is why so many learned at home as my prior interview data suggests:
imagine contests like achieving results of ten week university term
or initial week training session applied to language of your choice. (32) | 6.1.2 |
20130307l+ | Boast that Dartmouth freshmen can begin
programming after listening to a few lectures and reading a short
manual. (30) | 6.1.2 |
20130307k+ | Machine language for few, FORTRAN for many,
BASIC for everyone college educated now via user interfaces removes
requirement to learn how to program in order to usefully use (the
reason Turkle shifted from studying learning programming by the small
population that did so to general use by orders of magnitude larger
populations), rendering programming competence no longer a required
component of intelligent human being. (30) | 6.1.2 |
20130307j+ | On another argument is how programming
languages compare to learned Latin. (29) | 5.3.1 |
20130307i+ | Kemeny ranks learnability of BASIC over FORTRAN
over machine language; natural machine language is the overly
predetermined but more importantly unthinkable for which Ong resists,
and would likely dismiss FORTRAN as well, but higher level languages
like C++ may be on par with other second languages. (29) | 6.1.2 |
20130307h+ | Affordance now taken for granted of having
third party applications ready at hand so they do not have to be
programmed by the user may have covered over entry to direct
participation in formation of problem solving space to participation
in selection of arranged options where the control programs are not
directly modified by any of the library users. (28) | 6.1.2 |
20130307g+ | Round robin scheduler at heart of time sharing. (27) | 6.1.2 |
20130307f+ | Compare this discussion of the workings of an
actual computer to instrument of Burks, Goldstine and von Neumann or
ARPANET by Hafner and Lyon: both are more concrete then Turing beyond
the interlocutor obfuscating interface; the DTSS diagram shows many
user terminals sharing a communications computer, which alone (rather
than each individual user, as in the IMP network design) connects to
the central processor and high-speed memory, whereas input and output
peripherals and bulk memory fill out the Burks, Goldstine and von
Neumann model. (24) | 6.1.2 |
20130307e+ | Curious that inefficiency of batch processing
from human point of view mirrored in relationship between teachers
and students, relationships between the same species. (22) | 6.1.2 |
20130307d+ | Although not referencing Licklider worth
checking whether Licklider believed or was cognizant of the potential
of time sharing to radically transform the human computer symbiosis
as he conceived it, by greatly impacting communication between humans
and machines. (21) | 6.1.2 |
20130307c+ | Familiar differentiation of human tasks and
machine tasks misses opportunity of computers to monitor themselves
noted by Hafner and Lyon. (18) | 6.1.2 |
20130307b+ | Would relieve criticism if a future version of
an otherwise exemplary work dealt with putative but hopefully
harmless male bias. (17) | 6.1.2 |
20130307a+ | Important differentiating features of computers
are speed of operations and size of addressable memory; reliability
assumed although earlier forms were so unreliable as to preclude
increasing speed or memory extent; speed, addressability and ultimate
capacity are contours of computer species alien phenomenology. (15) | 6.1.2 |
20130307+ | Rupture with prior static symbols and semiotic
systems because of machine unattended internal memory stepwise
operation leading to programming, although it may become understood
as another natural language, if not already assumed for digital
natives (thus computer based testing in public education). (6) | 3.2.2 |

misunderstanding the differences between hardware and software,
ignoring the moral hazards of protected modes and trusted computing;
their shortcomings have led to the current state of siren server

20131001e+ | If by this statement Kittler does invite study
of technological circuits, it necessarily extends beyond physical
configurations into software, and, following Sterne, social and
cultural practices (medium is a recurring set of contingent social
relations and social practices); it is just that the machines
themselves may have evolved or necessitated their own equivalents of
social and cultural practices, so can settle for sensing the circuits
of an electronic pinball machine. (xli) | 3.1.3 |

marks, after Kittler and Manovich declare that software has taken

20121127+ | Cybernetic information theory neglects the
agonistic aspect of society, although its own history rife with

ancient ethical arguments. (137) | 1.3.4 |
20130422a+ | Look at how machines fail as analogies to ways
human bodies fail, such as poor conduction in power circuits due to
high resistance, the concept of resistance and current in wires and
blood in flesh; leverage focus on embodiment in digital humanities
theory and scholarship, especially when focusing on texts and
technology, how embodiment matters, is philosophized, and artfully
interpreted (Greek poeisis differentiated from second order,

archiving as well as producing, practices). (137) | 4.3.1 |
20130422+ | Curious question whether logically equivalent
ethical issues would have emerged otherwise in a society in which the
particular computer technology we call our own had not been invented;

philosophy of computing position, as we also choose between
proprietary, commercial and private, floss personal systems. (137) | 1.3.2 |
20120424+ | I raise the point that the ethical question
whether to program realizing we do it whether we know we are doing it
is unique in the sense that doing other things seldom incites us to
wonder whether we should spend five years studying it: this is the
shaking off of studying everything sensed by Plato, via Socrates in
Phaedrus, leading to the famous Socratic maxim know thyself,
remediated today by learning about computers as the best we to study
the soul, and also the body. (137) | 1.3.1 |

deformations of Wallace Steven The Snow Man and Samuel Taylor
Coleridge Limbo. (130) | 3.1.2 |

some time, too (thinking of what we did to Apple II games and called
hacking). (116) | 3.2.2 |
20131006k+ | Deformations of software systems are described
in Marino and others, such as stepping through processes and
otherwise altering their normal temporal behavior, can result in
dramatic exposure of subjectivity as lively option for interpretive
commentary. (116) | 3.1.2 |
20131006j+ | Operating system metaphor for basic units of
language: when language is not artificial, deformative decompositions
yield surprises; for artificial languages, it is the basic tenet of
epistemological transparency that sustains our faith in their
reliable operation. (115) | 3.1.2 |

text itself. (93) | 3.2.3 |
20131006+ | Leveraging out of copyright photographs
Rossetti took of his own paintings solves economic problem and
invites new theoretical speculation. (92) | 3.2.3 |
20131005z+ | Seems to be attributing a cognitive role to the
evolving archive as an IT integration, following Hayles
human-computer cyborg articulated in Electronic Literature: what came
to make sense as iterative changes to the protocols that made the
system work better in retrospect reflect the discovery of unknowns as
if the result of Socratic self-questioning. (91) | 3.2.3 |
20131005y+ | This appendix in the chapter he claims is the
center of the book in terms of the chronological development of his
thoughts about radiant textuality is also where I make the most
connections to my own research, not only the image/text and
surface/depth distinction, but also the use of revision history and
source code comments to trace the evolution of theoretical thought
embodied in poiesis. (88) | 3.2.3 |
20131005x+ | Compare to Alice Fallacy and Ulmer mystory
random connections: although I thought it would be about developing
the system itself, he is focusing on great insights via
poiesis-as-theory resulting from Photoshopping Rossetti images, thus
more like 404 errors and gliches in Hayles, behind the blip of
Fuller. (86) | 3.1.3 |
20131005w+ | Gives example of making crucial design
discoveries by playing with Photoshop deformations: does this relate
to Hayles notions of transformations of subjectivity? (85) | 3.1.3 |
20131005v+ | Like bricoleur programming versus hard mastery
in Turkle, different from unknown knows of psychoanalysis, he
differentiates poiesis-as-theory as instrument or machine making
engineering project from traditional theory. (83) | 3.2.3 |
20131005u+ | Ong and McLuhan make this point that only
through study of new media systems are the limits and affordances of
older media systems revealed. (82) | 3.1.3 |

20131005r+ | Scholarly books as postmodern incunables, like
low-level programming languages, beg for poetic theorization of
electronic editions, high-level languages. (79) | 3.1.2 |
20131005q+ | He seems to be taking the designer,
system-centric perspective: could the flip side of the quest for
designing ever more decentered tools be to foster user involvement in
creating the interfaces? (74) | 3.2.3 |
20131005p+ | Appreciate his detailed account of
theory-informed and exploratory technological development as a
prototype for critical programmer. (69) | 3.2.3 |
20131005o+ | Possibilities of hyperediting themselves create
new problems while addressing existing problems. (69) | 3.1.2 |
20131005n+ | Hayles may object to his assumptions about
embodiment that are based on print culture. (57) | 3.1.9 |
20131005m+ | Same problem duplication in data structures and
programming, which can be a theme linking McGann to code studies. (56) | 3.1.2 |
20131005l+ | Wild, putatively incorrect interpretation of a
poem breathes new life into otherwise stale interpretation, inspiring
The Alice Fallacy. (24) | 3.1.2 |

once-sacred models of communication; the medium is the message. (xii) | 3.1.3 |
20120920+ | Image/text another expression of surface/depth;
he invokes the Unix Mac split, and claims consciousness of this
division is built into his project: putting aside his critical, his
instrumental engagement with technology through texts if visual,
oriented to sight rather than sound, although he does mention the
audial a few times; mump down to his description of Mallarme
equivocating digital and book characteristics, and the concept of the
Ivanhoe Game as a model for future virtual reality digital humanities
scholarship projects. (89) | 3.1.3 |
20120918+ | I wanted to exclaim, let the Big Other speak,
but McGann AI project is not really to generate dialogue, more like
unexpected output for humanities scholars to interpret, as in
Manovich big data experiments, ultimately reveals unknown knowns
about texts and textuality. (206-207) | 3.2.4 |

from engaging in computer technologies as producers. (91) | 3.2.3 |

20131006r+ | Does Plato really define thinking by replacing
it with writing: I have already singled out the Socratic reverse
engineering method, as well as the questioning ridiculous unit
operation; Neel articulates three rules of discourse on 52:
definition, knowledge of truth, and ability to divide and collect. (36) | 3.1.2 |
20131006q+ | Ironic that a detailed analysis of Phaedrus is
required by Neel to expel it from the recommending reading by others,
who are unaware of history of criticism back to Diogenes Laertius,
since it is instead treated as a classic, and especially when Derrida
too has spent much care reading it: is this position viable, or
inconsistent; is Phaedrus more like a dangerous place we all secretly
enjoy treading, entering, traversing? (31) | 3.1.2 |

mixing in incomprehensible potentials of alien temporalities of
machine cognition: the Big Other speaks. (29) | 5.2.1 |

20131006k+ | Explanation of recursivity in Phaedrus more
easily comprehended with a programming background, along with the
more obvious example of the Midas combinatorics: is this recursivity
and algorithmic, looping assembly kinds of philosophical unit
operations; not that this subtext exists in Neel, but as remediation
as software takes command. (26) | 5.2.1 |
20131006j+ | Eternal play of signifiers: no absolute origin. (25-26) | 3.1.2 |
20131006i+ | Like the explusion of defunct, deprecated code,

rhetorical structure of Phaedrus: is this strategy in the sense of
social critique in the philosophy of technology? (25) | 5.2.1 |
20131006h+ | Obviously this claim has more impact if we are
familiar with the writing of Isocrates. (25) | 3.1.2 |
20131006g+ | Disingenuous to attack writing by writing,
continuous repetition of Platonism a strangely computational,
algorithmic proposition, the reverse side of the asymptote of
democratic rationalization exemplified by fossification, in which
writing as programming reterritorializes philosophy. (23) | 4.2.1 |

literacy; no surprise that the next section is titled control. (13) | 3.1.2 |
20131006b+ | Can this conclusion of corruption be avoided by
making the simple point that the theft of writing expresses what
McLuhan famously stated as media containing other media: do we not
turn in a completely different trajectory of possibilities by picking
up soldering irons working code? (6) | 5.2.1 |
20131006a+ | From the title, is the claim that philosophy
territorializes writing though Plato and Derrida: if so, then the
philosophy of computing reterritorializes all texts via
fossification, the turning of public domain texts into free, open
source software available from the public cyberspace Internet where
we locate the big computational other with which we are trying to
communicate. (xi) | 4.2.2 |
20131006+ | Studying writing as a process in any book

20131007w+ | I begin my
digression at one of the many utterances OGorman makes about
electronics, which has to be published on media that can support
dynamic HTTP delivery of HTML in a certain range of refresh rates:
this is how artificial automata think about texts radically
differently than natural automata, that is, we humans, us, people,
wetware, thinking-things, psyche, mind, soul, unconscious signifiers,
preconscious, imagining a first view that is akin to a title page or
book cover showing a zoomed-in piece of something that will later be
displayed in a larger context, whether in (as part of) a painting or
illuminated manuscript or (sic) electronic circuit schematics, or

20131007t+ | Not surprising at all that avant-garde

the chapter begins with an icon, the ground symbol, for grounding the

20131009t+ | External-exploratory interactivity involves

20131009f+ | As narrative interface element, Office
Assistant character implies at best a user-hero fairy tale
accomplishing tasks, and movie-making setting of Director also banal

20120312a+ | The
advance of digital media, advancing according to Murray from additive

interactivity: thus my journal can be criticized for abiding in early
form, yet its utopian trajectory expresses the direction of texts and
technology research in a meaningfully original way. (603) | 4.2.1 |
20120312+ | As
far of some of my imagined uses for humanities computing, virtual
history narratives express them to some extent, but go farther into
the internal position, such as redoing the Macy conferences as an
original participant: this sort of narrative escapes some of the
ironic character that Ryan explains complicates what a truly
internal-ontological digital text might be like, in contrast to the
Holodeck fantasies. (603) | 5.2.1 |

20131108b+ | Definition
of language as system of signs for expressing ideas, comparable to
writing. (15) | 3.1.2 |
20131108a+ | Essence of
language has nothing to do with phonic nature of linguistic sign. (7) | 3.1.2 |
20131108+ | Seems like
no reason this approach cannot be used for human-developed machine
languages and protocols; does Saussure implicit characterization of
language include or exclude them, thinking of Ong dismissal: that
spoken word alone constitutes object of linguistics may be the basis. (6) | 3.1.9 |
20131009z+ | The
linguistic sign is arbitrary is the first principle, demonstrated by

20131009t+ | Language as
internal, closed system like game of chess. (23) | 2.1.2 |
20131009s+ | Exclude
external linguistics, what does not belong to its structure as
system, as Barthes differentiates genotype and phenotype to develop
concept of grain of the voice: exclude links with ethnology,
political history, institutions, geography and fragmentation into
dialects. (21) | 2.1.2 |
20131009r+ | Phonation
does not affect the system itself: seems to deny materiality of
language although speech itself, like Morse code, depends on
apparatus. (18) | 2.1.2 |
20131009q+ | Linguistics
is a branch of semiology, general science of signs; at general level
subsumes distinction between natural and artificial languages so
important to Ong for excluding programming languages (see Floridi,
Tanaka-Ishii, likely Chomsky, too). (15-16) | 3.1.2 |
20131009p+ | Language
never a function of individual speaker. (14) | 3.1.2 |

to harm to spirit of scientific cooperation when too few papers are

20131012o+ | Software should be free because of psychosocial
harm to spirit of self-reliance because knowledgeable users cannot
fix problems themselves due to lack of access to source code: recipe
example for reducing salt content. (125) | 6.1.2 |
20131012n+ | Software should be free because social cohesion
damaged by licenses prohibiting sharing something useful and good
with neighbors; equivocating sharing with attacking ships leads to
cynicism or denial in programmers knowing most users will not be
allowed to use their work. (123) | 6.1.2 |
20131012m+ | Software should be free because forgoing use of
program harms would-be user without benefiting anyone, nor reduce
amount of development work, so efficiency is reduced also. (122) | 6.1.2 |
20131012l+ | Software should be free because material harm
has concomitant psychosocial harm: from obstruction by restrictions
on distribution and modification include fewer people using,
inability to adapt or fix, unable to learn or base new work upon it. (122) | 6.1.2 |
20131012k+ | Danger of software patents because ties up
every software developer and computer user in a new form of
bureaucracy in addition to point by Lessig that code becomes law. (111) | 6.1.2 |
20131012j+ | Danger of software patents because large

20131012i+ | Copyleft provides incentive to add to domain of

20131012a+ | According to GNU Manifesto, Kantian ethics
proves use restrictions and fees reduces overall wealth humanity
derives from software for a few to become wealthier; programmers may
be paid less but will not starve. (36) | 6.1.2 |
20131012+ | According to GNU Manifesto, all computer users
will benefit by avoiding duplication of effort for system
programming, not being tied to sole supplier for changes, encouraging
study and improvement in schools, avoiding management overhead. (34) | 6.1.2 |
20130614+ | Noted in previous readings or from experience
of meeting him that Stallman seems ambivalent on the need to make all
texts free like all software, not just texts containing software
program language source code; interpreting this phenomenon in terms
of philosophical concepts that the former are destined to be
ultimately consumed by humans, the latter by machines, about whose
thoughts humans cannot fully grasp and should therefore not
prejudice, suggested a deep ethic of respect for otherness of machine
intelligence in not restricting usage through four freedoms. (214) | 6.1.2 |
20120503+ | Enumeration of four freedoms, the first of
which, from zero to one, a precondition, reflects the dominance of
copyright: moving beyond traditional copyright, free, open source
licenses offer three additional freedoms related to human readable
machine executable text, that is, software program source code. (18) | 6.1.2 |
20070614+ | Stallman differentiates freedom as a criterion
(moral value, ethic) from mere practicality, and makes the point that
there is a gap in documentation because of restrictive licenses of
publishers like Oreilly: obviously manuals are open, although perhaps
from a source perspective the printed manual is like object code;
surely a profitable printing enterprise can exist where efficiency
and economy of scale allows for FOS licenses to govern documentation
as well. (214) | 6.1.2 |

intelligibility, then does it also invert Latour? (249) | 3.1.4 |
20131015r+ | Inversion of Latour delegation thesis when
sound reproduction technologies barely worked, like early personal
computing. (246-247) | 3.1.4 |
20131015q+ | Both copy and original are products of
reproduction process: thus I have to sit here and type; I cannot
compose this while not taking on the complexion of the dead. (241) | 3.1.4 |
20131015p+ | Important point about creative expression: the
performance is now for the medium itself, singing to the network, as
Benjamin pointed out in cinema. (225-226) | 3.1.4 |
20131015o+ | Any medium of sound reproduction is a network
apparatus encompassing whole set of relations, practices, people,
technologies, never a singular device: likewise, does the very
producibility of computer-mediated virtual reality emerge from the
character and connectedness of the medium of TCP/IPv4 internetworked
binary, stored program integrated electronic circuit controlled
computing machinery? (225-226) | 3.1.4 |
20131015n+ | Similar topic in Phaedrus over Gorgias speech,
including original versus copy distinction, or is this about a
different kind of reproduction, that of something spoken and meaning
to be heard? (223) | 4.1.2 |
20131015m+ | Basis of his argument is that sound production
practice and therefore technologies shaped by sound reproduction
(recording, storage, transmitting, transcoding, transducing): clearly
Sterne is in the realm of transduction, and transcoding belongs to
the programming paradigm, and what he says about traditional media
technologies can be applied to computer-mediated media technologies. (220) | 3.1.4 |
20131015l+ | Imagine each speech in the Symposium is
replaced by a major theme of my synthesis (and analysis) of Sterne,
Barthes, Kittler, Benjamin, and others on philosophy of
reproducibility, both via writing and newer technologies. (216) | 4.1.2 |
20131015k+ | Imagined medium precedes technology itself:
place this apparatus on emerging media facilitated by personal
computers. (214) | 3.1.4 |
20131015j+ | Placing development of sound reproduction
technologies among whole range of social transformations another way
around Kittler military archaeology: appeals to both the contingency
of social response to new media possibilities, and that the
technologies that eventually crystallized into widespread
proliferation of consumer media may represent substantial
transformations of military and institutional applications. (213-214) | 3.1.4 |
20131015i+ | Brilliant dodging further feminist analysis. (212-213) | 5.3.1 |
20131015h+ | Imagine Edison infomercial interpreted by
Zizek. (212) | 3.1.4 |
20131015g+ | Great conceptual development of agency to
interpret the Bell ad, strategic demystification via reification in
reverse, good distinction between technology and media: should speak
of Internet as media, not just combination of technologies, but still
important to understand the underlying technologies linked via social
relations. (210) | 3.1.4 |
20131015f+ | His comparison of early consumer radio use to
home computer needs updating to Internet age. (208-209) | 3.1.4 |
20131015e+ | Is the Internet facilitating the same way: the
comparisons to personal computer proliferation are inviting. (208) | 3.1.4 |
20131015d+ | The Socratic turning away does not occur:
Berliner did not think about technology with consideration of radical
transformation by unplanned uses. (206) | 3.1.4 |
20131015c+ | Berliner pope over Warner Reagan: power lies in
placing trace of ruler within larger network of communication rather
than image of ruler; why pace James Carery? (206) | 3.1.4 |
20131015b+ | Berliner broadcast indicated plasticity of
sound event over time and space: new potential for dissemination
comparable to writing? (206) | 3.1.4 |
20131015a+ | Photography, circuit boards, master disks
complicated, resource and labor intensive; software systems, on the
other hand, are now easy to implement locally at home. (203-204) | 3.1.4 |
20131015+ | Compare Edison offering of phonograph
applications to Theuth myth in Phaedrus. (202) | 3.1.4 |
20131014z+ | Opportunities in coin operated amusements as
new use for phonographs after failure in business; first jukebox in
1927. (201) | 3.1.4 |
20131014y+ | He understands enough about nature of medium to
point out problem with unshielded lines predating remote
electrification. (201) | 3.1.4 |
20131014x+ | Convenience of telephone, like early
phonograph, indexes changing constructs of middle-class self identity
from Victorian exclusivity to universal consumerism, which may again
have a parallel in transformation via personal computer, cell phone,
and smart device use today. (198-199) | 3.1.4 |
20131014w+ | An argument discouraging social conversation
based on scarcity that later becomes the basis of profitable new
markets: same argument can be applied to commercial development of
Internet, those using it for paid services are the new talkative
housewives. (197) | 3.1.4 |
20131014v+ | Malware today violates ethics government
expects for advertisements. (196) | 3.1.4 |
20131014u+ | Answer to Kittler is continually evolving and
transforming media beyond domains in which military would even be
interested: does this work? (195) | 3.1.4 |
20131014t+ | Interesting example of telephone as broadcast
medium to support his argument that social configurations interacted
with experimental applications of a new medium such as telephone
broadcasting, which later reappears as the convergence of voice,
data, and television media channels. (192) | 3.1.4 |
20131014s+ | Like experimental character of marketing of
personal computer technologies as evidenced by gross analysis of
magazines from the mid 1980s through early 1990s, the Apple two and
early PC era: is this a structural stage in the history of any
technology, including sound reproduction? (191) | 3.1.4 |
20131014r+ | Compare Gates, Stallman, Torvalds, Jobs to Bell
and Edison as examples of the small, elite group of people
contingently, sometimes accidentally, directing technological
development; contrast the guy who invented delay wipers. (188-189) | 3.1.4 |
20131014q+ | Kittler blames Edison for rejecting the
gramophone for this divided, segmented condition. (184) | 3.1.4 |
20131014p+ | Contrast with Kittler who credits war as the
origin of all causes, including comment below on elite direction of
technological development: how does FOSS look from this perspective,
emerging out defining itself in contrast to the accepted collective
action of large corporations and institutions but not networked human
collectives that create the software themselves under their own
direction? (183-184) | 3.1.4 |
20131014o+ | Articulation a concept like interpellation and
my word for becoming free, open source software or documentation,
eventually named flossification. (183) | 3.1.4 |
20131014n+ | Sterne
is astute at demonstrating how to correctly historicize technological
change as narrative, a form reminiscent of older technologies from
previous years, decades, centuries, even millenia: this broad scope
hooks back into Phaedrus and gets us beyond Kittler in a way well
explained by Hayles via Hansen on the other end of the continuum,
though we will find severe deficiencies when taking radical
embodiment approaches. (182) | 1.3.2 |
20131014m+ | Importance
of moments of plasticity through social organization resulting in
crystalization of particular techniques and techologies: do we even
know for computerized sound, for we would have to understand the
technologies; compare to Hayles analysis of Macy conferences shaping
cybernetics. (182) | 1.3.2 |
20131014l+ | Visual vocabulary of auditory immediacy by
early 1920 captured by headphones, but articulation in networks of
new industries and middle class practices required for sound
technologies to transform into sound media. (173-174) | 3.1.4 |

headset culture: idealization of technicized hearing, construction of
private acoustic space, commodification and collectivization of
individuated listening; does this transformation echo in other media? (154-155) | 3.1.4 |
20131014f+ | Sound telegraphy as listening in an media
context: compare to writing as vision in a media context. (153-154) | 3.1.4 |
20131014e+ | Small front spaces and large back spaces
incubate mass media according to Giddens and Thompson. (151) | 3.1.4 |
20131014d+ | Skilled listening modifies natural
phenomenology of the auditory field; proximal sounds directly
correspond with distant events. (149) | 3.1.4 |
20131014c+ | Ontological fallacy by Rick Altman,
representing philosophy in general, viewing things as essentially
either visual or auditory due to historical practices, great for
thinking about HCI; Sterne focuses on cultural and historical
details. (142) | 3.1.4 |
20131014b+ | Visual-tactile telegraphy relied on human
sight. (141-142) | 3.1.4 |
20131014a+ | Semaphoric telegraphy long before electric
telegraphy: in the former, humans to the signification decoding; in
the latter, machines transduce although for some time (until Kittler
notes software takes command) humans still decode and consume its
content. (141) | 3.1.4 |
20131014+ | Does not distinguish electrical and electronic
in survey of ancient and modern telegraphy, although he does
distinguish electric from semaphoric telegraphy. (140) | 4.1.2 |
20131013z+ | Sound telegraphy further generalizes notion of
technicized listening; positioned Sterne with Edwards as complicating
trajectory in drawing out computing as an evolving nexus of social
acts like techniques of listening rather than monolithic, clearly
demarcated one easily reducible to boolean logic or arithmetic. (137) | 3.1.4 |
20131013y+ | Laennec sought Pierce indexical connections

studying semiotics of computer programming. (173) | 3.1.9 |
20131021b+ | Note how
the Burks, Goldstine, von Neumann text concludes with this singular
gesture of signaling: can it be argued that early computer and
perhaps even programming philosophies are biased by this
noninteractive paradigm, are there echoes even of living writing
ideal for shimmering signifiers? (172) | 3.1.9 |
20131021a+ | Sign
introduces heterogeneity form outside the system with interaction;
without interaction, sign awaits atemporal halting state. (172) | 3.1.9 |
20131021+ | Essence of
temporality is the shift from undefined to assigned value somewhere
in memory. (172) | 3.1.9 |
20131020z+ | This
view precludes storing computation components in the environment
beyond the programmatically addressable memory, using the same trick
embodied cognition theorists attribute to human thinking and

20131020y+ | Accounting
for side effects is very cumbersome and costly by making signs
disposable to achieve referential transparency, such as generating a

20131020x+ | Side
effects are how the putative intention of program code differs from
actual execution separate of programmer intention: think of double
hyphens being changed to em dash by a word processor ruining the
prima facie soundness of working code; humans can leverage side
effects creatively, whereas programmed systems typically degrade. (164) | 3.1.9 |
20131020w+ | No social
conventions stabilizing sign values in computer program language use;
even though human language signs are arbitrary, they are not subject
to the change typical of machine signs: how then are they held in
check, how do we reach assurance to trust them? (162) | 3.1.9 |
20131020v+ | Discussion
of debugging insists that mere inspection of program code is
insufficient; it must be run or simulated to appreciate side effects
as well as uncontrollable input output, which are weaknesses of state

20131020u+ | Identification

20131014j+ | Heim and
Feenberg write of the gains and losses inherent in technological
change (rather than assuming the progress always involves more
gains); what gaps can I investigate, what has become of that first
generation of child programmers, how do people use programming in
everyday life now, how are children being taught or learning
programming on their own today: to pursue these ideas, trace the
history of scholarly research on children learning to program (see
Note 4 on 339 for the early literature that influenced Turkle) in
addition to mapping the trajectory of Turkles work, also keeping the
texts and technology emphasis in mind. (95) | 1.3.4 |
20131014i+ | Her studies clearly shift from emphasis on
programming to application use, the triumph of the surface over deep
structure; see her Wired magazine article accompanying the
publication of Life on the Screen (quoted next). (95) | 3.1.6 |
20131014h+ | The questions she raises about whether
childrens minds are opened or their thinking narrowed into more
linear and less intuitive is answered by studying what different
kinds of children make of the computer rather than seeking a
universal, isolable effect; her subsequent work testifies to her
commitment to pursuing this approach. (95) | 3.2.2 |

convincing: do we talk about current generation or those who grew up
with using early personal computers prior to their obsolescence, as
she hints about what these folks may be doing in the future by what
their adult counterparts were doing in addition to not learning
programming. (83) | 3.1.8 |

20120401+ | Turkle expands range of what is considered
programming today, for it does include configuration via surface
level manipulators that do not alter source code so that the changes
affect the underlying structure of the program: note that if focus is
on behavior of the program without diving deep into structure, an
epistemological shroud descends. (96) | 3.1.8 |
20120116+ | There are
too many likely stories for every lisp [slip in typing] vacating
Freudian analysis and unfortunately a lot of enjoyable literature
including a number of philosophy texts, reading Norman instead;
nonetheless these indicators can be collected and use to represent

multichannel/multiposition audio media (technologies): this is an
example of the philosophy of computing reterritorializing areas
developed to analysis of human directed rhetorical texts to
programming source code and active shell commands powering instead of
constituting or being for human philosophical contemplation, that is,
that ephemeral metaphysics that are deduced from the constitution of
mid range ordinary Internet usage are not worth studying in detail;
one or two examples from the literature by Turkle, Manovitch and
Hayles will suffice, then bring in Kittler some more. (251) | 5.2.1 |

20150812a+ | Observation that a woman on a team takes on
mother role; softness and hardness characterizations. (85-86) | 3.1.6 |
20150812+ | Design structure often chosen to accommodate
team, nicely illustrated by figure; may complicate retrospective
analysis. (70) | 3.1.6 |
20140331d+ | Tyranny over liberty seems to be the default
trajectory of the specific milieu in which our computer revolutions
have occurred, in spite of the good intentions of those we salute as
the architects of the information age. (279) | 1.1.1 |
20140331c+ | Bad systems can be built by well intentioned
people. (279) | 1.1.1 |
20140331b+ | In the final pages of the epilogue to his
famous Psychology of Computer Programming, Weinberg warns of the
danger of banality of evil through unwitting use of programming
talent, though made in ironic, innocent ignorance of the real
involvement of IBM in the holocaust with which my tale opens, that
Lanier argues lurk in siren servers; is this a reflection of the need
for a renewed critique and distancing oneself from technology? (278) | 1.1.1 |
20140331a+ | In early 1970s no hesitation to equivocate
machine and brain operation by sharing metaphors; interesting that
Weinberg deploys them to draw attention away from technical details
to the psychological component. (277-278) | 2.2.1 |
20140331+ | Common reaction to the seminar is shock at
extent personal experiences of office life resembled examples and
even extreme caricatures drawn out for instructional emphasis. (277) | 3.1.6 |
20140306a+ | Notion that knowing how to learn is key still
to learning programming invites undirected methods of computer
assisted instruction like Papert proposed; what are other failure
paths emerging as technologies change? (198) | 3.1.6 |
20140306+ | Link criticism of Papert undirected exploration
to indirect impediments of not knowing what or how to learn. (191) | 3.1.6 |
20140225p+ | Clashes between aggressive management and
egoless programming groups. (61) | 3.1.6 |
20140225o+ | Practice of egoless programming concealed
behind proprietary business practices and smug satisfaction, as well
as lack of tests in sense of Latour, Boltanksi and Chiapello; note
default practice is isolated individual programmers relying on their
personal competence, and in competition with each other for prestige. (58) | 3.1.6 |
20140225n+ | Idea of egoless programming is training people
to accept their inability to function like a machine to always
produce perfect work. (56-57) | 3.1.6 |
20140225m+ | Tools are next, as embodiment of material
culture; language learning plays large but not exclusive role in
explaining recruitment and training into complex skilled art of
professional programming. (39) | 3.1.6 |
20140225l+ | Cultural and personality of anthropology
provides best model, studying social structure of culture of computer
programmers, how they relate to each other and nonprogrammers;
predicts more room for improvement in social over individual
activities, thus the focus on group behavior over individual
psychology from which Turkle and others base their conclusions. (39) | 3.1.6 |
20140225k+ | Still in stage of looking for questions,
defining the field, before undertaking extended studies for answers. (37) | 3.1.6 |
20140225j+ | Individual versus social unit a methodological
shortcoming of other types of study, for example ethnographies of
software development; Brooks is aware of need to study groups. (35) | 3.1.6 |
20140225i+ | Using college freshmen may suffice for general
psychological experiments but without seasoned subjects study risks
being psychology of programmer trainees. (33) | 3.1.6 |
20140225h+ | Prediction
that effectiveness will overshadow concerns of efficiency due to
enormous amplification of computing power (Kurzweil). (25) | 3.1.6 |
20140225g+ | Prediction
that virtual memory and other technological enhancements will favor
scalable, transportable programs, implying all things from
environment level, for example POSIX, to most basic computational
units, for example common native data structures. (24) | 3.1.6 |
20140225f+ | Foreshadowing more complex networked
environments where efficiency measures will be even harder to make. (24) | 3.1.6 |
20140225e+ | Challenge of coding for both efficiency and
adaptability despite bias of both in rhetoric of high level object
oriented programming paradigms; embarrassing sexist cast to otherwise
correct maxim of common sense computer programming folk psychology. (22) | 3.1.6 |
20140225d+ | Fisher
adaptability theory explains surprising difficulty of adapting well
working systems. (21) | 3.1.6 |
20140225c+ | Programs do not seem to write for reuse even
though they know code continues to be used when they are not involved
with it. (20-21) | 3.1.6 |
20140225b+ | Rather have longer wait time than missed
schedules. (20) | 3.1.6 |
20140225a+ | Another instance where going beyond individual
imbricates social conflict in addition to other communication
challenges as point made later about decisions as soon as another ego
is involved. (19) | 3.1.6 |
20140225+ | Metrics must be based on asymptotic perfection. (19) | 3.1.6 |
20140221e+ | Problem of lock in during debugging. (251) | 3.1.6 |
20140221d+ | Bias on early data returns, reluctance to
regression test following small changes countered by automatic test
suites; problem of volumnious results addressed by summary indicators
(Rosenberg). (250) | 3.1.6 |
20140221c+ | Simulating bugs difficult; depend on
uniformity, locality and compactness of program. (248) | 3.1.6 |
20140221b+ | View testing in terms of confidence and
challenging social tendency to believe things are as people want them
to be. (247) | 3.1.6 |
20140221a+ | There are no small errors or relationship
between size of error and problems it causes. (247) | 3.1.6 |
20140221+ | Psychological studies neglect programming
tools. (246) | 3.1.6 |
20140218+ | Each chapter concludes with questions for
managers and programmers as well as a bibliography. (19) | 3.1.6 |
20140217n+ | High rate of programming language invention in
early 1970s necessitates turning theoretical attention to dialogic
aspects, realizing it is the study of human behavior, contra Ong, not
just symbol manipulation; supports Suchman and others who emphasize
situated, contextual factors. (242) | 3.1.6 |
20140217m+ | Fisher Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection
cautions that special-purpose languages may produce unadaptable
programmers, which must be taken to heart regarding languages used
for learning programming; can the same argument be made concerning
the equivalent of special-purpose languages in the procedural
rhetorics required to operate complex applications? (240) | 3.1.6 |
20140217l+ | Claims programming languages shape thought
processes; example of ineffectiveness of COBOL programming teams
building online systems. (238) | 3.1.6 |
20140217k+ | Critical to limit universe of discourse when
designing special-purpose languages. (238) | 3.1.6 |
20140217j+ | Caution that too many adaptive devices close
off programmer from peers due to enhanced role played by system
substantiating meaning. (237) | 3.1.6 |
20140217i+ | Examples of language adaptability including
definition of functions and data structures, compile-time facilities,
and dynamic code generation at execution foreshadow OOP. (236-237) | 3.1.6 |
20140217h+ | Psychological phenomena of proactive and
retroactive inhibition occurs when languages differ slightly, like
slight syntactic differences between C, Perl, PHP. (236) | 3.1.6 |
20140217g+ | Consonance of new languages with other
programming languages and rules of natural language crucial for
learning and debugging; example of confusing rules for blanks in
FORTRAN, spelling in general, and advantages of noise words in COBOL. (233) | 3.1.6 |
20140217f+ | High-level language features mask nonlinearity
of machine level organization from programming language level
presentation. (232) | 3.1.6 |
20140217e+ | Example of non-locality in PL/I ON-unit to
obtain linearity, which experimental evidence suggests is easier to
handle than branching or looping sequences; consider implicit form of
GO TO in event-driven GUI forms programming as factor in complicating
understanding. (231-232) | 3.1.6 |
20140217d+ | Synesthetic and sequential memories applicable
to arrangement of information by programming languages in terms of
locality and linearity, which may be achieved though well chosen
literals. (229) | 3.1.6 |
20140217c+ | Example of compression of inferential steps
from higher level results implicit in lower level operations, linking
chunking to procedural rhetoric. (227) | 3.1.6 |
20140217b+ | Benefits of chunking possible in programming by
offering more than one way to express the same thing via iteration,
subroutines, and data structures; hints at future advantages of OOP. (225) | 3.1.6 |
20140217a+ | Recognize both physical and psychological
ambiguity, for example confusion over right-to-left resolution in
APL, although programmer choices over variable names more typical,
such as using language keywords and choice of mnemonic names. (222) | 3.1.6 |
20140217+ | Psychological principle of uniformity applied
to programming languages: predictable actions and syntactic
constructions. (219) | 3.1.6 |
20140216t+ | Give up trying to program in real, natural
languages; acknowledge programming languages contributing to Tower of
Babel but goal should be adjusted to consonance between the mode of
expression and the mind of the expressor. (214) | 3.1.6 |
20140216s+ | Programming as communication between alien
species. (214) | 3.1.6 |
20140216r+ | Need to observe programs being made, however
programmers seldom reflect on their activities; contrast pessimism of
Kittler to promise of critical programming. (212-213) | 3.1.6 |
20140216q+ | Desire for teaching common programming
principles not tied to particular languages, though schools prefer
artificial instructional languages, which creates problem of
equivocating amateur and professional principles in language design. (212) | 3.1.6 |
20140216p+ | Flexibility of humans required to adjust to
inflexible machines. (211-212) | 3.1.6 |
20140216o+ | Evidence of concurrent synaptogenesis and
technogenesis in development of computing machinery. (211) | 3.1.6 |
20140216n+ | Each new language reveals flaws of previous
ones as well as shifting standards. (211) | 3.1.6 |
20140216m+ | Metalanguage utterances now formalized for many
programming languages. (210) | 3.1.6 |
20140216l+ | Bruner six functions can also be identified in
programming languages, with qualifications, being largely referential
and connotative; development of OOP extends. (208) | 3.1.6 |
20140216k+ | Programming languages measure up with natural
languages in the remaining nine features Hockett enumerates. (208) | 3.1.6 |
20140216j+ | Interchangeability not shared in the
translation from human readable programming languages to machine
language and the ensuing responses, especially when misunderstandings
occur. (207-208) | 3.1.6 |
20140216i+ | Programming shares with prayer opposite of
design feature of directional transmission and broadcast reception. (207) | 3.1.6 |
20140216h+ | Prevalence of chalkboards, now whiteboards to
make it easier to talk about programming languages, relates to rapid
fading feature. (207) | 3.1.6 |
20140216g+ | Hockett 13 design features of human natural
languages begins with vocal-auditory channel, from which programming
languages differ as natively written. (207) | 3.1.6 |
20140216f+ | Worker hating tools points to poor management
again; compare to Latour on using obsolete tools for critique. (204) | 3.1.6 |
20140216e+ | Humor expecting that this book will become
successful in motivating love of programming so that so many students
will student the psychology of programming as for some to so doodle
instead of fantasizing about their lovers. (184) | 3.1.6 |
20140216d+ | Doodling a lover instead of name of programming
language used to suggest cultivating love of programming the ultimate
motivation. (181) | 3.1.6 |
20140216c+ | Humor directed to reader in question for
managers about overpaying for an ideal programming aptitude test:
compare to equivalent rhetorical technique employed by Kurzweil. (177) | 3.1.6 |
20140216b+ | Widescale floss practices permit automated
tests of status for programming aptitude (Boltanski and Chiapello). (170) | 3.1.6 |
20140216a+ | Suggest lack of professionalism in working
above appropriate level of care linked to both incompetence and
inauthenticity of working to rule. (127) | 3.1.6 |
20140216+ | The overall research question for the book
investigates how can we study programming. (31) | 3.1.6 |
20140215t+ | Schools of programming resemble general
education in reproducing medieval practices; thankfully the computer
itself is an innovative teaching system. (198) | 3.1.6 |
20140215s+ | Improving improvement by training programmer to
use tools for further learning rather than get embedded in morass or
detail or hate the tools. (197-198) | 3.1.6 |
20140215r+ | Importance of
test cases for active learning discovering problems, developing
feeling for the critical case. (196) | 3.1.6 |
20140215q+ | Learning as active pursuit entails taking broad
look when programs are running and specific lessons when not;
suggestion of break between engagements for reflection. (195-196) | 3.1.6 |
20140215p+ | Prepare for learning programming by knowing
personal assets and liabilities, favored modes of perception, media
use habits, learning by doing or discussing with others, and work
habits. (193) | 3.1.6 |
20140215o+ | Problem of under or overestimating difficulty
of problems arising from unfamiliar situations, often by poor
teachers giving wrong impression of the difficulty of the subject
matter. (191-192) | 3.1.6 |
20140215n+ | Direct impediments to learning of fear,
expectation of failure, reluctance to admit weakness accompanied by
indirect impediments of knowing what to learn or how; the latter have
been institutionalized by absence of everyday programming instruction
in school. (191) | 3.1.6 |
20140215m+ | Competence in one language or dead-end
technique often impedes learning new ones; consider Rosenberg
discussion of Python written like Java. (191) | 3.1.6 |
20140215l+ | Ease of learning versus ease of use seldom
evaluated; need to focus on extensibility of techniques. (190) | 3.1.6 |
20140215k+ | Beginning learners must master mechanics, like
when playing pinball. (189-190) | 3.1.6 |
20140215j+ | Private learning environment using a terminal
counters fear of observed failure, hinting at how personal computer
revolutionized learning programming. (189) | 3.1.6 |
20140215i+ | Propensity for learning in children seems
innate, though undirected; adults impeded by negative forces such as
fear of others witnessing failure. (188) | 3.1.6 |
20140215h+ | Example of difficulty acquiring skill in JCL
syntax blocking operating system education. (187) | 3.1.6 |
20140215g+ | Necessary training to acquire specific skills
to use technologies may involve trivial content. (187) | 3.1.6 |
20140215f+ | Confusion between schooling, education and
training hinders educational progress. (185) | 3.1.6 |
20140215d+ | Love of programming is the biggest motivator. (184) | 3.1.6 |
20140215c+ | Motivation studies produce contextual results. (183) | 3.1.6 |
20140215b+ | Top reported motivators are salary increases
and bonuses, more personal involvement in task planning, promotions,
and more time for quality. (183) | 3.1.6 |
20140215a+ | Increasing driving force motivates performance
to a peak then drives it down. (182) | 3.1.6 |
20140215+ | Training and experience improve performance
more than attempting to adjust personality or intelligence. (180) | 3.1.6 |
20140211+ | Still trying to test programming aptitude; most
merely correlate to success in programmer training. (170) | 3.1.6 |
20140210k+ | Good programmers are made, not born, so
emphasize creating them rather than selecting them; we can make good
programmers by adjusting personality, work habits and training. (176) | 3.1.6 |
20140210j+ | Best test seems to be on the spot skills
assessments. (176) | 3.1.6 |
20140210i+ | Examination of structure of PAT reveals
deficiencies. (173) | 3.1.6 |
20140210h+ | Relate PAT and difficulty measuring programmer
performance to Boltanksi and Chiapello tests of status. (171) | 3.1.6 |
20140210g+ | IQ and school tests also emphasize arbitrary,
short-term memory, whereas selective memory pays in real life; could
this practice lead to overall decline in intelligence? (171) | 3.1.6 |
20140210f+ | IQ tests measure ability to take tests; slow
and steady more important in programming than timed completion. (170) | 3.1.6 |
20140210e+ | Importance of memory in programming. (167) | 3.1.6 |
20140210d+ | Key to intelligent behavior involves
flexibility manipulating assumptions and applying formulas to solve
problems. (165) | 3.1.6 |
20140210c+ | Difficulty of problems often measured by time
spent solving, although often the solution comes quickly once the
overlooked, problematic factor is discovered. (165) | 3.1.6 |
20140210b+ | Affect of incorrect comments due to
psychological set. (164) | 3.1.6 |
20140210a+ | Carelessness in choosing symbols increasing as
side effect of successful automatic error detection; mnemonic symbols
induce torpor. (163) | 3.1.6 |
20140210+ | Psychological set and distance can be
impediment to error location activities; syntax highlighting and
other visual cues of the interface help counteract by offering
machine response. (162) | 3.1.6 |
20140209x+ | Tests are costly and hard to justify over
simpler intuitive methods, X-factors related to aptitude and
personality items extracted from interviews. (157) | 3.1.6 |
20140209w+ | Mayer has produced surveys using popular tests
like the Strong Vocational Interest Blank. (156) | 3.1.6 |
20140209v+ | Clever programmers are likely to cheat on
psychological tests, which is okay because they will likely possess
other desirable traits of which clever manipulation of systems is one
expression. (155) | 3.1.6 |
20140209u+ | Psychological profiles from existing positions
reflect aptitudes of existing employees, not necessarily what
employers really want. (154-155) | 3.1.6 |
20140209t+ | Elasticity needed to work with rigid machines
despite folk wisdom that programmers should resemble their medium;
seems like a positive sense of flexibility compared to that required
by the new spirit of capitalism to adapt to flexible environment. (153) | 3.1.6 |
20140209s+ | Professional programmers need ability to
tolerate week long periods of stressful situations, be adaptable to
rapid change, have modicum of neatness neat, be humble yet assertive,
and possess a sense of humor; consider all as expressions of
necessary flexibility to inflexible machines. (149) | 3.1.6 |
20140209r+ | Dominance of personality factors in programmer
failures; more likely to make personality mistake than intelligence
mistake when hiring programmers as intelligence already factored into
tests. (148) | 3.1.6 |
20140209q+ | Alternation of jobs through egoless programming
reduces forced adaptation of personality to role, but gives up best
fit, yielding potential efficiency for stability; compare to Malabou. (146) | 3.1.6 |
20140209p+ | Managers face moral dilemma of peering into
private life to determine source of symptoms. (145) | 3.1.6 |
20140209o+ | Personality reflected in programs. (142) | 3.1.6 |
20140209n+ | Fruitful divisions of programming activities
regarding testing: error detecting, locating, correcting. (136) | 3.1.6 |
20140209m+ | Avoid having all project parts in same stage at
the same time, and provide variations for programmers to learn. (134) | 3.1.6 |
20140209l+ | Good to deliberately break up work for uniform
progress despite daily variations in environment and temperament. (134) | 3.1.6 |
20140209k+ | Distortion caused by view of programming as
processing moving through discrete stages when steps often occur in
different orders, or not at all, and iteratively, without sharp
boundaries; progress reporting forces categorization, which is
reified. (132-133) | 3.1.6 |
20140209j+ | Fallacy assuming programming is uniform effort
requiring set of uniform talents. (132) | 3.1.6 |
20140209i+ | Lack of communicating all objectives leads to
missed schedules and inefficiencies, but also affect estimates
depending on whether goals are emphasized or not. (130) | 3.1.6 |
20140209h+ | Ambiguous objectives hinder most studies of
programming performance and likely cause much variance. (128) | 3.1.6 |
20140209g+ | Programs should be designed with definite
lifespan and scope of application. (126) | 3.1.6 |
20140209f+ | Key for life long programming is learning about
the profession, not just particular programming problems. (125) | 3.1.6 |
20140209e+ | Professional has both past experience and
future orientation. (125) | 3.1.6 |
20140209d+ | Role of operating systems in hiding work done
by the system, like commodity fetishism? (124) | 3.1.6 |
20140209c+ | Differences between amateur and professional
programming include ultimate user, which affects planning, making
changes, and forgetting; emergence of floss permits development of
professional skills by amateurs. (122) | 3.1.6 |
20140209b+ | Level of care not monolithic. (127) | 3.1.6 |
20140209a+ | Division of individual differences into
categories of personality, intelligence, training, experience. (120) | 3.1.6 |
20140209+ | From individual level on up programming groups
produce different finished products for same goals, designs for
requirements. (119) | 3.1.6 |
20140208u+ | Valuing competence over prejudices should
deliver more women into programmer and manager ranks. (112) | 3.1.6 |
20140208t+ | A female assistant is the classic status symbol
that also asserts biases about menial tasks and gender, and
aggravates the sex problem. (111) | 3.1.6 |
20140208s+ | Terminal is latest status symbols for
programming managers. (111) | 3.1.6 |
20140208r+ | Status linked to ability to perform technical
tasks; status symbols like a card file often amusing to those outside
the system. (110) | 3.1.6 |
20140208q+ | Many social problems due to remoteness of
leadership from workers, complicated when managers used to be
programmers, though reward for appearance of work also common when
they do not understand it. (109) | 3.1.6 |
20140208p+ | View project in terms of successful machines or
natural systems rather than hierarchical organization modeled after
Austrian army. (108) | 3.1.6 |
20140208o+ | Conflict between management and workers
develops because project goals are not sum of individual team goals. (108) | 3.1.6 |
20140208n+ | Egoless programming research suggests friends
can be stern critics of one another. (108) | 3.1.6 |
20140208m+ | Specialized teams may have uncommon goals, such
as testing groups whose job is to criticize. (107) | 3.1.6 |
20140208l+ | Projects need slack for adjustments to staffing
and priorities, such as forming special task forces. (106) | 3.1.6 |
20140208k+ | Many deviations from simple hierarchic
structure emerge: standards groups evaluate production of other
groups to mitigate progress reporting biases, task forces for dealing
with intractable bugs. (106) | 3.1.6 |
20140208j+ | Social pressure experiments reveal influence of
announced opinions of others (Abilene paradox); thus value of devils
advocate role. (104) | 3.1.6 |
20140208i+ | Psychological tendency of moving extremes
toward the middle affects reporting; recall organizational deception
loops from CAP conference. (103) | 3.1.6 |
20140208h+ | Reporting system as series of filters;
surprising news is the most information reports carry. (102-103) | 3.1.6 |
20140208g+ | Project progress a combination of different
views of different programs. (100) | 3.1.6 |
20140208f+ | Danger of indispensable team members. (100) | 3.1.6 |
20140208e+ | Project as programmer processing plant or
training grounds. (99) | 3.1.6 |
20140208d+ | Raises often interpreted as substitution for
more desirable situation. (97) | 3.1.6 |
20140208c+ | Many project
managers view as house versus river, the former subject to collapse
if a keystone member is removed. (96) | 3.1.6 |
20140208b+ | Large organizations survive while individual
members may be transitory. (96) | 3.1.6 |
20140208a+ | Discusses NATO conference on Software
Engineering noted by other theorists, citing Aron who finds
management the common root cause of project failures. (112-113) | 3.1.6 |
20140208+ | Project management is second order coordination
among teams. (95-96) | 3.1.6 |
20140206i+ | Time span and complexity of programming
situations exceed typical experiments by social psychologists. (91) | 3.1.6 |
20140206h+ | Democratic, or technocratic, organization
natural for programming teams. (90) | 3.1.6 |
20140206g+ | Dealing with uncooperative and underperforming

20140330+ | Weizenbaum, in pointing out the growing zombie
hordes of compulsive computer users decades before MMORPGs, documents
the early effects of the human computer symbiosis gone bad; but in

general vocabulary is key. (178-179) | 6.2.1 |

work are often conflated, for example Newell and Simon General
Problem Solver. (164) | 6.2.1 |

shared by what they model. (150) | 6.2.1 |
20130712a+ | Models based on theories can figure things out,
giving agency to texts; a computer program can be both theory and

even humanities questions. (143) | 6.2.1 |
20130712+ | Compulsive programmer computer bum replaced and

20140219c+ | What other options can we entertain for
changing the way commodities talk among themselves beyond struggle to
let them have any ethical concern or care at all of human actions
without really trying to impart on them such powers, we are in the
same place for not caring to know about the automobile beyond how to
use it that Rushkoff threatens our intellectual evolution with
consignment to powerlessness to make further real choices, as it is
said, nothing ever happens to the losers? (351-352) | 5.2.1 |
20140219b+ | Zizek quotes Marx establishing necessary
constraints of fictional discourse among commodities: read against
Kittler on submergence of human discourse into intramachine
communication networks reducing to storage and transmission quality
measurements, memory performance rather than any particular contents,
and against Kurzweil confidence that machines might meaningfully read
human texts: both positions leave out consideration of meaningful
intramachine discourse and texts. (351-352) | 1.3.4 |
20140219a+ | The real Marxist acknowledgement that humans
believe in the magic of commodities and money contaminates our biases
concerning the machine order for being assumed ignorant of the
concerns of the human order; the protocological Internet era makes it
clear that the commodities frequently speack among themselves, and it
is likely they are related more than simply what Marx mouths for
them. (351-352) | 5.2.1 |
20140219+ | In asserting that Lacanian theory hinges on
belief that unconscious must be made to accept the truth of the
symptom, Zizek urges foreclosure of considering a genuine response
from the Big Other of cyberspace; unconscious of Big Other cast as
ignorance of the chicken reveals organicist bias and lack of belief
in possible competence of machine consciousness, like not believing
this group has a soul or meets even Hayles looser criteria of
cognitive embodied processes, or we just do not know how to think
about machine embodiment thus we are looking and listening in the
wrong places for a response and do not even know what it may be like
when the Big Other responds: this must be understood as Zizek
critiques a train of thought based on Marxian commodity fetishism. (351) | 5.2.1 |

20131019b+ | This

position in movies, a critical stance of a media consumer rather than
producer or prosumer. (90) | 5.2.1 |
20131019a+ | His three anxieties like the inversion of
Maslow hierarchy of needs: does not posit anything positive as a goal
because it has not processed, analyzed its own dependence upon
certain forms of thinking, including computer software; sinthome
minimal formula of subject consistency. (89) | 5.1.1 |
20131019+ | Today deadlock metaphor comes from computer
science. (89) | 3.2.4 |
20130610+ | The chicken joke leading to Marxian commodity
fetishism: while we can be amused with Zizek joking at extremes of
madness, cleverly replacing resonant references to the silence of the
lambs with the ignorance of the chicken, critical programming
performs digital humanities experiments on the human computer
symbiosis by generating real virtualities at the interface. (351) | 5.2.1 |
