Alliteration

Poem

I have crossed an ocean,
I have lost my tongue,
From the root of the old one
A new one has sprung.

Datacloud

Discussion Questions

Two arguments in, Johnson-Eilola, Datacloud, juxtaposes a trajectory for a new theory of online work. The articulation theory (beliefs in a computer vogue) and the symbolic analytical work (users who manipulate technical systems) are methods that rearticulate and then commingle to help us understand the information-saturated environment. (25-30)

1. Under these types of meanings the question is whether there is adequate techniques to initiate a system of learning from suggestions found throughout the text? (31) And whether these user friendly inventions are valid support structures that will prove a future reliable computer work environment? (57).

The likeness of interface—forms new identify constructs– which shifts cultural ecology to emerge into a message environment as a navigable space of social information.

2. Do you agree or disagree this type of technology leads most expressions to interact with specificity for a continuity (time) and a discontinuity (space) of trends. (36)

One could, perhaps, think this certain ideological conflict animating present-day computer practices polemics with those who oppose the pious descendants of time and agree with the determined inhabitants of space.

3. Does the break down condition in communication mean if and only if the parts of the context are received from the participation and a reconstruction occurs then sets of oscillating context purposes reach a threshold for rearticulating data?

Articulations are suggestions about acceptable meanings both material and symbolic.

4. Do you think Edward Tufte message about power point is a tendential force. (99).

Johndan has role modeled the philosophy of attention as a friction occurring in the pathways of our modern society. He suggests training as a manner of organic correspondences that has issues to be solved. He furthers explains simply this is an adversarial society where one side thinks basically the opposite of the other causing that social condition of roughness.

5. Can a person catch themselves from falling out of their own attention by accepting the distractions as normal breakdowns? Is passages of reconstruction fashionable in a saturated –information society?

The Amature Arborist

I think walking through a group of different woody plants, scrubs and ground covers that are intentionally place is a nice manner of good energy. I have grown small trees from seed, for instance a grape vine from seed which is now three years old. I have taken little saplings here the mother ground and replanted then in a particular setting with different variety of woody specimens. I gather ground cover specimens to fill in spaces near existing trees. In contrast to flower or vegetable gardens it is different because they remain there year after year and you can actually watch them grow. I guess one could buy a variety of scrubs and tress but to find them in various environments and plant them is an all together something of a special art. Some times a work site is a good place where tress or scrubs are thrown away which could be use in different locations. In other places one may see a small willow or maple sprouting up that would probably be mowed down and can easily be replanted. After while you start to get a feel for spacing them apart and how they many look when they bloom. It’s a fun thing where you can discover a nice arboretum. An arborist is in the practice of arboriculture, the management and maintenance of trees. Work may also include care of shrubs, vines, and other perennial woody plants. Arborists frequently focus on health and safety of individual trees, or wooded landscapes, rather than managing forests or harvesting wood. Arboriculture is the cultivation of trees and shrubs. The discipline includes the study of how they grow and respond to cultural practices and the environment as well as aspects of cultivation such as selection, planting, care, and removal. The purpose is generally to manage amenity trees. That is trees where their value to the landscape is greater than that of their wood content. Trees offer environmental benefits as well as cultural, heritage and habitat for fauna. The combined value including aesthetics exceeds the value of a trees worth from a forestry wood perspective. Amenity trees are usually in a garden or urban setting, and arboriculture is the management of them for plant health and longevity, pest and pathogen resistance, risk management and ornamental or aesthetic reasons. Arboriculture can be considered to have a similar relationship to forestry as that which horticulture has to agriculture.
