Hyperlinked Science
*Blog Prompt:
"In regards to hyperlinked science, Weinberger discusses the Internet as a distracting and ‘dizzying’ place that can often lead us to unexpected places. Do you agree with this statement, and in your experience have you ever felt overwhelmed by the abundance of information on the Internet? Or do you think that it allows our inquiries to be “free flowing and uninterrupted?” Explain how hyperlinked science relates to knowledge and abundance". (Carla Couture)
*My Response:
I agree with Weinberger on that the Internet can be a distracting and
'dizzying' place that can often lead us to unexpected places. In my personal experience, there has been times in which I have felt overwhelmed by the abundance of information on the Internet. Times when I have tried to really focus on a research project but kept getting distracted by shopping pop-up ads or other websites. In my opinion, it just never works out to try to go online and just visit one webpage. In this way hyperlinked science relates to knowledge and abundance very well. The internet has no limit to its knowledge and can easily cause someone to feel overwhelmed or even lost at its use. I can even bet that at some point in every internet users life, they have felt overwhelmed or lost at the use of the internet or a webpage. Think about it...have you ever felt this way or know someone who has?!? IF SOO... I WON MY BET LOL :)
