Kirschenbaum (Preface, Ch 1, Ch 2)

I have an all night rehearsal tonight, so I figure I can get this done then. Which sections?

Dani, I didn't see your question until just now, but we'll be reading the whole book, so whatever reading you did will be useful.

"Yet storage has never been more important than it is now in shaping the everyday experience of computing, interactivity, and new media. Even a passing glance at technologies like iPod or TiVo, both based on magnetic hard drives, should bring this point home. (Kirschenbaum, Mechanisms 4)"

"It would be a mistake, however, to think size doesn't matter; we will also consider the ways in which user habits and activities change as storage media grow more capacious. The simple practice of creating subdirectories, for example, is relatively rare with file systems stored on floppies but commonplace, indeed essential, with hard drives. (Kirschenbaum 8)"
