As far as "using the technology to think," this project has certainly solidified my belief in the efficacy of that. I started making network graphs with no thesis and no direction in mind, but once I saw them, I suddenly had questions to ask and answer, which called for more specific network graphs, which in turn brought out further topics of inquiry. When I was almost done with the essay, I realized I had written most of it just by "thinking out loud" (typing out observations) and then making connections and thinking out loud some more. Because of this approach, my writing style is a little more casual than usual for an English paper, but I think the style fits in with the rest of this course: several of the articles we read were written slightly informally, and this is a project for a website (granted, on an academic subject and in an academic context) that ''anybody'' could access if they wanted to begin learning about "The Wasteland" or what Digital Humanities projects look like. | As far as "using the technology to think," this project has certainly solidified my belief in the efficacy of that.
