The essay "Network Ambivalence" by Patrick Jagoda made me think about how meanings of certain words have been altered with the advent of the internet: network, share, post, etc. The discussion of networks existing outside of the internet, and furthermore as unstable structures which are "a ubiquitous form of out time, rather than an intrinsic property of the universe" was intriguing (109). The ambivalence of engaging in the network system as the opposite of disengagement, but almost an ultimate form of engagement by passively accepting one's position within network systems highlighted the pervasiveness of the post-digital age.
