How do I think?

Well, this is my final post for my Electronic Communications class, though I don’t know if it will be my last post ever. Looking back I see a couple of trends in my blog writing. The first is that I tend to write things methodically, one thing leading to another and another. It’s also the way I look at things. I look at each piece and analyze it before even looking at the big picture. Once I put all the pieces together then I analyze the whole thing such as with Bush’s article in my first post or with the possibility of machines being capable of human thought in one of my more recent posts. In either case I tried to look at things as objectively as possible, which I know is impossible but I try. Another trend I see is that I like to compare things I’m unsure or have little knowledge about with things that I do have knowledge about. An example would be in my Cyborgs Man and /or Machine post, where I compared machines to a human, specifically my self. This helps me to grasp things better if it is something I understand, even if the two are completely different such as machine fuel and vegetarian pizza (never again will I eat the stuff). Both of these trends of mine developed over the semester in that I was starting to analyze multiple pieces at once rather then one at a time and I was now comparing new things in class to things I had learned before which probably made more sense to everyone else. Since I wasn’t even aware of these trends till I started looking for them, it’s very likely they’ll continue to evolve given time. In later entries, assuming I continue to do this, I’ll probably analyze things in groups and I’ll be referencing myself soon enough, which will be weird but it will most likely happen. Till then, who knows what’ll happen? Later.
