Augmenting man's intellect, in the sense defined above, would warrant full pursuit by and enlightened society if there could be shown a reasonable approach and some plausible benefits."

My Opinion

This week, (2008.3.21, Friday / Wednesday no class)
We talked about 'hyper text' & Engel bart.
But I am concerned about 'dada poem'. It is very interesting and wonderful.
I want challenge dada poem, it is must be beautiful thing.

We see a movie made by cut-up, it is very interesting, too.
A movie is Nike’s AD, celebrity appear that movie.
And he say ‘yes’ and ‘no’ again and again. That is a ‘cut-up’.

Engel bart’s invention give every facility for present-day global internet (≒ world wide web) and people’s cultural life.
I was surprised about that engel bart is live all the same.
He saw that internet’s developing, and he felt pride.
I envy he & his invention.



Actually,
I don’t understand this book about ‘engel bart and hyper text’, too.
Because this book was written by foreign, so everything was written in English.
So I think, I will read this book (augmenting human intellect) and ‘as we may think’, ‘welcome to the present’, again. (before middle exam, i-i)


And I look around home page (www.intermass.com/it081), and find next week’s topic ‘www’.
I think it (www) is very interesting topic.
Because ‘www’ have close connection with ‘hyper text’.
