Book Review #3
Third time's a charm?? I doubt it!I'm now reading for the third book review for LIS 2000, and would wonders never cease... we have THREE books to read and critique--and they're not "137-page pocket novels", either. Ummmm, so I'm thinking that this assignment is basically impossible since the last one was submitted on the 12th and this one's due date is a mere 14 days later. Don't get me wrong, I'm trying my best but I just don't see how I'm gonna pull this off.
In the meantime, I'm actually deriving some sort of enjoyment from The Social Life of Information. And I say only some because it would be nice to actually sit down and digest the reading material for what it is. Can't do that when you're busy scribbling notes and highlighting points that support your review's argument (which I still have yet to devise, by the way).
Wouldn't be great if I could just have a "bot" read the books and regurgitate a written body of work of scholarly acclaim? Not as far as Brown and Duguid are concerned--bots have their place but shouldn't be mistaken for humans in terms of the tasks they perform. For example, if I was able to have a computer program write my paper for me, what tone would it use? Would it be possible to customize software plug-ins for my characteristic sarcasm and dry wit [and ego]? I'm thinking....um, no.
So, off I go to attempt to complete my assignment. Wish me luck!
