Comics

 I very much enjoyed these readings, although they will be hard to discuss I think.  The idea of things being a either in the conceptual  realm or sense realm has split the world into a dichotomy. These abstract Icons I am using to formulate linear ideas that may help you visualize or imagine what I am thinking.  They are a sort of portal into my mind. I am externalizing my thoughts through an extension of my self, the laptop and internet connection, and you, by reading them, give life and personality to the words. 

With the dawn of social media sites, identities, or our conception of our identities, are layed out for all to see. When one pushes the post icon, a transformation from the realm of concept to the realm of sense occurs.  Our concepts and ideas take form in words and combined with pictures strive to identify ourselves so that others may be visually aware of what we think our concept of self is.  This is a type of non-visual awareness in which many people who post about themselves invest more time and energy maintaining this non-visual awareness rather than seeking out casual conversations with present, real human persons.  This shift is occuring and we are all in the thick of it.  The ideas of words, pictures, icons(like button), and time is quite interesting in the facebooks and myspaces.  Even the icon of the rectangular box is everywhere!!! Hope my ideas made any sense.
