Aggregation

I am finding it increasingly difficult to keep track of what I have been discussing and writing on the various platforms.

Over these past few days, there seems an exponential growth of comments. One of the buzzwords in my head is aggregation. In order to be efficient, I need to be using my tags better…

I realise I should check:

  • Pinterest board
  • WordPress main page
  • WordPress course participant pages
  • Tweetdeck
  • The week 4 MOOC overview page and all its spin offs
  • the EDEDC MOOC and the discussion forum

My coffee breaks, lunch and evening are increasingly spent checking status and adding comments.

I check my mobile phone for incoming messages about various accounts but know that not all are notified through my mailbox.

I am looking for visual clues that can give a better understanding of how to interact on the course.

I check YouTube and my Flickr account

I have a story in my head that needs to be followed up.

I would like to try out all the other platforms I haven’t had a chance to look at yet: thinglink (signed up for an account), Glogster (not yet)…

Is this utopia or dystopia?

Am I (becoming) post human?

    I can empathise with you, Gina! Great questions – utopian or dystopia? Can we cope with this multiplatform-tasking? Does utopian mean at the click of a button it takes us to a platform without the stress and tension of missing something out? Are we in transition between human and posthuman?
