The Web’s Grain A basic webpage has fundamental characteristics such as adapting to screen sizes and its vertically stacked elements. Most webpages follow a similar structure of design because that is whats most responsive and consistent for all screen sizes. Having to account for different screen sizes can sometimes limit the experience you’ve created. A dynamic game-like webpage made for desktop won’t be the same experience on mobile. Interactions like hovering is taken away. The author describes websites that don’t follow a natural characteristics as “a bear riding a bicycle” that fancy websites aren’t what a website is supposed to do and that it is fighting against natural flow. The author talks a lot about working with a web’s ‘natural flow’ and stop chasing new ideas. I disagree with the author because I think following the same basic principles are boring. Why should we limit ourselves to a web’s fundamental design? We don’t need all web experiences to be responsive to all screen sizes. I think that we should continue to innovate new experiences and designs for the web.

ChatGPT Is a Blurry JPEG of the Web ChatGPT - like a compressed file isn’t a perfect replica of the original. It is just repackaging information but some bits get blurry and lost in translation. AI isn’t coming up with anything new, it's just recycling old information and matching up words that seem to make sense. AI also ‘hallucinates’ because of how it doesn’t really think. It/s not a good source of information because its rephrasing original material. Similar to how digital media like Instagram contorts actual information to become more easily digestible. Information loses its original meaning when its processed through technology like chatgpt.

Heavy Lies the Digital Cloud There is so much personal information in the cloud that today, our whole lives are documented online. Algorithms display this information back at us usually for marketing purposes. Leaving a digital footprint is no longer a ‘free’ unmonitored place. But our information is recycled, memories are bent towards engagement to make us more attached to technology. Our daily searches, location, and who know what are being gathered and its largely out of our control.
