(some very minor) Thoughts on Digital (c/C)ulture(s)

The course Digital Cultures seemed pretty much perfect since it seems to incorporate quite a few of my own interests, and knowing Maria Engberg since earlier, I know I can expect both good reading materials and some interesting assignments/discussions. (No, this is not me kissing ***, this is me in all its uncensored honesty ;D) Anyway, digital cultures as a term is of course extreeeemely broad, but what I get out of our first few hours is a focus on the social interactions that are born out of technological means, like this blog for example. The field, or area of study as such, is both interesting and in a period where one has to expect radical changes in short time spans, which I think is really exciting. Whereas literature or more "classical" or more deeply rooted (academic) traditions build upon canonical readings and discourses (making them stale and "old" ;D) I hope to engage in something far more flexible, something that can only be born from the asymmetry of a global simultaneous experience.
