I was expecting to really enjoy The Ticket That Exploded but so far I'm just completely confused by it. I find the method of cut-up really interesting but what it produces makes my head spin. It reminds me of the first time I watched Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas so maybe, like the movie, I just need to try and focus on it more and maybe re-read it for it to all come together more.
As for the discussion about writing and the internet/cell phones I think that the internet isn't in any way less than something hand written, it's much more efficient. I've heard people say how letters are more thoughtful or meaningful because you take the time to sit down and write a letter, but I don't see how that's much more work than sitting down at a computer to type something up. To me, either way you're taking the time to think about something and organize your thoughts into words. And, the whole idea of the internet crashing or all the paper in the world burning or not allowing us to write anymore is just ridiculous to me, although I understand it in the context of the conversation. I must say my favorite thing about class yesterday was "but in a nuclear holocaust there ain't gonna be no ponies"
