Optional Post

In Ulmer’s interview, and the videos we have discussed and the idea of  electracy all pertain heavily to the idea of currency and ever changing realm of communication and media. All of these works discuss how as culture evolves, so does the way we give and receive new information. I think this currency and relevance is a big thing to focus on when thinking about project 3. Selecting media that is culturally relevant is important because of what implies about you. For example, if you enjoy talking on the phone, for most people an old rotary phone is irrelevant and outdated for their life. It might send the message that you particularly enjoy antiques (which is a fair message to display if that is in fact the case) but a picture of a newer phone may be a better choice.
