group work reflection

The group work we did last thursday was good. We had a lots of agreements, we worked together fine and understood each other's ideas and our ideas combined and made sense. I even learn something from her too about the conclusion of Stein's article that helped me want to reread the article again. "Ultimately, the message of the Macintosh ad is an old one echoing cultural faith in the machine and in technology-engendered progress. Technology per se does not yield the Big Brother figure and its control over brainwashed and roboticized masses. It is the wrong technology that creates such a state. The right technology in this case the Macintosh will provide salvation."
I am having hard time reading the rest of groups paper, but from my memory, the group that did the history part where the old computer takes place in business where male works, not female. And the new era of Mactonish computer has created a new technology that gives us the opprounity to use computer for various reason at home, library, etc. I like the introduction, they did pretty good with the drawing, and telling what we will be reading ahead.
All the comparison that Stein did in the article, and the word Salvation shows that we don't have to stay with the old same thing, we can try something new, something better, and that everyone can use not just mens or business.

  1. I love your focus on the word "salvation." That's definitely a rhetorical move on Stein's part.

    What are you thinking about for your controlling purpose?
