Hey everyone, I was just browsing the web this evening and sort of thinking about New Media and Old Media and stumbled across this video. I'm sure you've heard or seen electronic waste sites like this but thought you may be interested. It's ironic; the children in the video playing on all the technological waste and being amazed by a simple polaroid.
Wherein we assume we are having a conversation with one another. We being the members of ENGL 5650. Do the voices that return to us come from other human beings via these prosthetics we call computers, or do they come from some unknown artificial intelligence? Then again, are "we" really possessed of organic intelligence, or is it merely a simulation of intelligence that we present in order to obscure the fact that there is no "real" intelligence?
