Reflection #3
I think the slow progression over time into creating content with 3000 words has been very helpful. I have the time to flesh out new ideas, tie in previously visited ideas, expand on top of what I have already thought of and written, or completely let go of a direction/subtopic. My initial plan was to have an introduction section and a conclusion in addition to four other sections similar to an essay, report, or technical document format, but I’m leaning more toward a journalistic article style of writing. I also think the meetings are very helpful simply because for me, receiving feedback and input helps me out a lot and I enjoy receiving constructive criticism as well.
I have been researching more into post-humanism and how it ties into humane technology itself, and what the Center for Humane Technology has been doing in regards to post-humanism. Humanism itself may date back centuries and focus on ancient philosophy, but in relation to today’s technology, I think I can expound a bit more with the focus being based on reason and critical thinking concerning generative AI. The more I learn about both of these concepts, the more I feel the center practices behaviors concerning both. There still may not be much information solely for a humanism section, so it may need to be combined with post-humanism.
In the last week, my team has collaborated on bringing our ideas and topics together so the case study can seem more like one cohesive project. We have created our home page as well as distributed out the roles. We have also discussed how we will work together to provide the links to each topic to place on the home page. We have developed a schedule that allows enough time to write on our topic, provide feedback for each other, then reconstruct if need be before the next meeting.
