Honestly, I did not like this reading very much at all. I feel like the information given throughout this text isn’t very useful and a lot if filler. A lot of the information that is given within the first half of the article is hard for me to find correlations to the main idea. It starts out with all this talk about people posting in online journals which would be stressful but then it goes into scholarship and whether those doing such things are still engaged in humanistic inquiry. A part that I did enjoy from the reading is the part about theories and how they should be more accessible to those that that don’t have a higher education. I particularly like this description “A well-tuned instrument might be used to understand something, but that doesn’t mean that you, as the user, understand how the tool works. Computers, with chains of abstraction extending upward from the bare electrical principles of primitive XOR gates, are always in some sense opaque” I don’t know if it was just me, but I feel that this reading was hard to understand and for the most part went right over my head.
