I really liked this article like many of my classmates, even though I did find the writing style a bit distracting at times.\u00a0 It was really interesting and impressive to see what conclusions can be driven from a small amount of data (although we must be wary).\u00a0 The concept of using metadata seems like an extension of what we’ve been calling “distant reading”, and I think I actually find it more interesting that close reading.<\/p>\n\n

I was confused at a few points, like what “PRISM” is.\u00a0 It would have been nice to have an explanation.\u00a0 But for the most part the author does a great job at keeping a flow of logic and keeping the reader engaged.\u00a0 I also learned new terms, such as “adjacency matrix”, that will be helpful in the future.\u00a0 It felt especially relevant because I have been working with matrices this semester in linear algebra.\u00a0 I wonder if I can use and linear algebra in data analysis?\u00a0 The data visualization was also intriguing to me.\u00a0 All in all, I thought this article brought together a lot of concepts from our class in an engaging way!<\/p>\n\n
