Three Interesting things


        In 2012 I had the opportunity to live in Hawaii for three years. In that time I experienced a whole new culture. Living there is so much more different than going there for vacation. There is so much more to Hawaii and the islands than what is shown. Sure the islands are apart of the U.S. but it seems so much different than the mainland states. The Hawaiian natives are beautiful loving people. The local food is one of my favorite things. My favorite burger place I’ve ever had was there. Teddy’s bigger burgers.  I’ve been to luau’s and just good ol neighborhood BBQ.  The most peaceful place I’ve ever been in my life was the island of Maui.  Beautiful place. Black sand beaches. The most important thing that I got from there is that I met my beautiful wife.

In her opinion we have long since entered into a new paradigm — a space of no return—a free-flowing system of ‘circulation’ that circumscribes and influences everything from government to love. She delves into these new conditions of circulationism and attempts to understand and reflect on its potential and impasses. Crucially, she remarks that circulationism, if reinvented, could also be about short-circuiting existing networ...

Response to 'Is the Internet Dead?'

Steyrl describes an interesting perspective of the way the internet is recognized. She explains how the general society recognizes internet as constantly innovating and expanding; however, also makes note that this may not necessarily be the case. This reading was unique because it broadens my ideas of what is viewed as the cultural norm of the internet. I was fascinated by how she questioned the normal viewpoint of the internet and took time to reflect on the media platform.  I soon recognized that as things change, some things stay the same.
