“A broader understanding of acoustic space is what I’m after: I’m really talking about different dimensions of the kind of subjectivity that we produce in networked environments. This dimension is profound, and we should consider it, work with it, explore it.”

This goes back to the point I made previously about Davis’ desire for us to embrace this advancement in music.  He wants us to explore it and take full advantage of it.  He writes this with also a pleeing tone, and I believe that this is because he feels so passionate about the subject and wants for his audience to feel the same.  

“‘Now we will be able to communicate across the world, now we will be able to solve conflicts, now we will have better education, now we will have more democracy.’ These ideas were very much associated with the mutation in electronic acoustic space brought about by radio.” This point brought up by Davis was very interesting to me.  To look back at the history of sound is amazing and life changing.  Think about all that music and sound has done for the world!  News spread by the media is extremely influencial to the way we live our day to day lives.  Weather a good or bad influence, it still impacts our opinions and knowledge greatly.  This causes me to relate to Davis’ plee for us to embrace this new found media and ‘acoustic space’.  Why not take advantage of this power that we have available to us?  It is a great way for our voices to be heard. 

It is utterly impossible to not notive the overpowering pirate theme Megan Nordstrom uses in her E-portfolio.  I thought it was a little bit much, but none the less it got the point across and made it less forceful to read.  I found it very entertaining  that she uses the phrase “Aye Aye… you have found the booty!”  This tone is deffintely written for a less formal audience.  It also leads me to believe she has high standards of her work, since in pirate lingo booty means “treasure”.  Overall though it was beneficial to read through Megans portfolio.  I think it prepared all of us winter students as to what will be expected of us in this course.  I liked the intro to the site especially, because it talked about all of the components of the class.  The outcomes put into action was nice to see as well.
