going to pound my head against a desk repeatedly
#i read gergens book on the saturated self over winter break and#it has been haunting me in a weird way#i'm in infosci. my focus is on how sociotechnical systems impact the way we think about identity#my entire dept would not exist without the internet#and yet i cannot help but think about the social harms of being so oversaturated with the lives of other people#like i am just. so deeply frustrated about what the internet is and what it could be#that is uh. probably why zitron is one of my favorite current tech journalists even if his writing sends me on a spiral sometimes#because he writes with the fury of someone who has seen something good rent to bits#and still wants to imagine how it could be good#also tbh i just finished grading like 100 reflection videos from undergrads on the potential and pitfalls of the internet#and in light of the current state of the world they are SO good at nailing the issues here but also have so much optimism#and it's a weird limbo to be in!!!!#anyway i've been having academic feelings on the internet and selfhood since 2017 and i'm not going to stop anytime soon#camille.txt
