Digital Collecting

-
  1. How does the digital world change the way we collect?
    I think collecting things gets easier with each generation. Obviously physical objects still take up space, but unimaginable amounts of media can be saved on the smallest flash drives and shared with the world. The ways we can collect is expanding.
  2. Is there something you collect (physical or digital)?
    I have a jar in my room of found buttons.
  3. Think about the digital collections you have
    I definitely have a large digital collection of music. I have it saved in an old computer hard drive.
Digital collection parameters
  1. What? Video game controllers
  2. How many? 20
  3. Where to source (must be online ie. instagram, google maps, craigs list, amazon)? Google images
  4. Why did you choose to collect this? I like video games and I think it'd be cool to organize a collection of the evolution of their designs.

All of my blog identity posts up to this point have featured steps in places I have been. For my final post in this series, I wanted to show steps that I would like to one day visit. These are what the stairs look like inside the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The marble has been warped by visitors climbing the steps for hundreds of years. It's fascinating that if you repeat one footstep enough times, you can move stone. All things take work and time. Hopefully with my own hard work and time I will get to climb these steps as well as other steps around the world.

  While I spent this whole semester at Temple, I hadn't gone back to visit my old campus. There hadn't been a need for it, but I thought about the steps around Saint Joseph's University. I wanted to use them for one of my blog posts because, though I am not there anymore, it is still part of my identity. I'm still adjusting to being back in school, and so far I love being a Tyler student. Despite the years that have passed, though, revising SJU after walking these steps for a year and a half, it's weird, but in a way, I found it still feels like home.
