Max's Memex

What even is the internet? If you don't know, then you're at the right place, because neither do I! But let's try to learn about it little bits by bits...

Hopefully I don't break your mind, but here is how the memex is mapped:

Notice the nodes with the most links: Agency and Control. These two nodes describe the internet as a tool of political control backed by the agency of its creators and engineers.

Interest of Research

In this section, I'd like to highlight topics and key concept about the internet and its history that have started to develop as I'm building my memex.

Journey through my memex

Feedback from Memex 1

  • Greater emphasis on linking readings to the course and contradictions
  • Identified recurring themes and ideas from readings
  • Started to link outward to other people's memexes

Feedback from Memex 2

  • Continued to relate source notes to class material and ideas
  • Considered how sources relate to each other
  • Reconsidered the map of content, narrowing down into a more concise and specific to the themes of my memex

To do

  • Well, this is where the memex stops! (at least for now)
  • Continue looking at the internet (all the oddities that comes with it) with a critical eye
