Hi all,
I have a question. I'm just finishing off an article and I am about to refer to the extent to which humanists now need to know something about the "new digital genres". By that I mean the things that if you have been traditionally trained and were bookish rather than videogamish or technologically oriented as a teenager, you might not know much about:
blogs wikis MOOs and MUDs and other text-based games (an older genre, I know) SIMs and other immersive game-like environments (ranging from second life through doom)
Others? Corrections? I'm trying to think how to get something with GPS in there.
