REVIEW OF ANNOTATIONS - Each text we read last week addresses how new technology produces subjectivity

ANNOTATIONS - TIPS - Think about how to deal with sub-sections. Dave used sub-headings in his annotation; I summarised each section. - What was the original publishing context (who published it? etc), and how might this have shaped the content? What is the subtext, and assumptions made? - Has the author written anything since which updates the ideas in the text?
