Annotated Bibliography
1) Wasting Time on the Internet by Kenneth Goldsmith
#Themes: Social Media, Reception of Information, Journalism
Kenneth Goldsmith is setting up an interesting hypothesis: he is claiming, that people do not read less in overall, but the omnipresence of digital media is causing the opposite. He is stating that daily news, Facebook statuses or the fast Twitter notification on the smartphones are making everyone read more, like no print medium would have been able to. That is why the amount of reading would have even increased; only the way of reading has changed. (Goldsmith, 2016, p. 4)

2) Software organism BA Research Project by Susanne Janssen
#Themes: UI/UX, Reception of Information
Susanne Janssen was researching the experience of software, as well as user-interfaces. She tried to dissect this complicated subject into a video with the aim to create accessibility and raising a discourse.
She is claming that the User has a desire for immediacy. Apple responded to this immediacy with flattening its Interface (since the introduction of the Aqua-themed GUI in 2000) in an attempt to gain neutrality. A false neutrality as she calls it. ‘The user-interface makes us feel like we are in control of our device, by clicking, dragging and saving, while at the same time it is the design of the interface and software behind it that decides for us what we can do.’ (Janssen, 2019)
Notes on how this text could be relevant to my research:
- picks up on Quintilians idea, that a selection of information is simultaneously a manipulation of information
