Intertwingularity and the World Wide Wed

In Morville’s chapter 4 “Intertwingled” (https://ecampus.wvu.edu/webct/urw/tp0.lc5116001/cobaltMainFrame.dowebt)I found the statement, “…potential of nonsequestial text to transform how we organize and share ideas” (Morville)interesting to the description of the texting world because there is no sequence in the way we access information. Take when we browse the World Wide Web, Nelson tells us that hyperlinks contribute to his concept of being intertwingled.

The speed at which humans change their direction, whether it be from one technology to another, or clicking a hyperlink within an article to take them to something completely different, is absolutely midnblowing to see written out in words but yet seems so normal when in the action. After reading this chapter. I have come to the conclusion that our everyday life is just one hyperlink that is attached to another hyperlink. Our dramatic transitions intertwingle.

Does our technology (smartphones etc..) make us more efficient? if so, more effiecint how? Okay, so we can call people from the grocery store, check our emails on the go, use laptops in a classroom for validity of the information we are being told, but does that really make us more efficient? If that is all taken away and it is just you and the world, you are not going to be so efficient. I guess that makes us more efficient with technology. Shouldn’t we be able to stand alone on your own two feet and not fear the world without an electronic device of some sort with you. I know I am certainly guilty of this, as I know some in my class are too. I cannot function to my full potential without my phone. Its a constant worry of what if someone needs me or what if there is an emergency. But does this make me more efficient?
