Locating wisdom multi media v network
Difficult to comment on multimedia v network when you just getting used to the network. Yep locating books inside the internet is just a whole lot of photocopying that might be cheaper ///no way ink , paper cost heaps. Nothing is really free.
Gone are the days of tucking yourself up on a cold night reading a good book. Oh no too busy now searching the web for knowledge, knowledge and more knowledge that comes to us via mass media that sets the agenda for us to think politically and yeah culturally.
Much of printing revolution increases resources of previous generation, now digital has begun to connect contemporary resources on huge sacale.
Interesting the network- can be cumbersome (until I get the hang of it), at times me thinks. But ooh is it not soooo exciting - its like learning a whole new language, down side is you can't blame the teacher when you don't get the tools.
I love the networking I really get to know how my colleagues think instead of sitting in the lectures wondering if she/he have a brain or not. You know what I mean you don't need to open your mouth and feel foolish like I often did in Hermeneutics. Instead you can ask questiions and write a less than one page message that is clear and precise for both you and the reciever.
Another thing connecting to the world - and articulating commonalities. Sharing sharing, relationships. You no wat? all my "now" friends have a certain packaging but on the net one's imagination can run free.
What about research? I agree the social and ritual practice of research and interaction will move from the text driven book to the assocative imaginitive nonlinear networks of the multi-media. The non-linear text will allow readers to make choices and to follow varying routes through the material presented. Yet it can be divided into linear and non-linear , but like films there is no navigator in linear. Non- linear offers all the interactivity something I discovered in Tim's work. If you wish to explore how how the move from text to hypertext impacts on biblical commentary check out the Amos commentary It would require considerable alterations in the organization of material. The finished product is similar to the "book" because it still relies on the imagination of the creator.
Most basic and most effective technique in writing well for electronic media is to use fewer words. Kirsten Abbot uses concise and scannable writing while creating a website for her biblical studies project wrestling at the jabbok. Concepts and thought become more complicated as as they encompass more avenues of expression.
Apparently way back in 1965 digital multimedia was used to describe exploding plastic performance that combined live rock music.
I guess multimedia makes for more audio, graphics and video while networking leads more to interacting with colleagues, critics and others so there is a feedback - something that might not always occur with multimedia. Plus one can achieve a great deal interacting with others-by moving to and fro, backwards and forwards.
Another awesome "thing" I have discovered you don't have to work with a theasuarus at your side, you just write it, even if you have to sleep on the idea overnight.
How about the shopping it is like a great big library eh? And you don't have to catch the bus to get there or even pay for professionals' works - it's on the net. I myself have accumulated my own list of writers, scholars because I get to read their work rather than having to purchase a book. Perhaps I will get to building up my own professional identity.
Intellectual property rights can be an issue but there is the upside the published work gets to more people than sitting in the bottom shelf gathering dust.
No doubt like networking there is so much that needs to be discovered and for sure multi-media is more than audio and video, I imagine there are multiple interpretations from a whole lot of different lens and even after all that we still bring our own cultural bias to interpret the text -our own hermeneutic.
I guess with multimedia technology like most technologies we can examine the present and reconstruct the past and but even with the possibilities of multimedia we can still only peer into the future.
But there are questions that weave in and out of my thought patterns. What are people's liturgical expectation in a multi-media world. Does digital communicaton tend to strengthen or weaken people's religious committments ? Can we find a new Wsidom in multi-media technology?

The most fascinating thing about network and multimedia is the fact that they each have a part in the world digital technology. Both are useful in a way, depending on what you want. To have conversations with others we can use a "network", to present a "product" we can use multimedia as Tim and Kirsten have done. It seems that both networking and multimedia are important in the field of biblical studies.
Digital communication should strength our religious committments, its like studying, our learning some how will strength our faith. Digital communication should opened our eyes to other views. And yes there is a whole lot of wisdom within this multimedia technology that are yet to be discover. and its like the horizon that Gadamer talks about. when you discover such wisdom there will always be wisdom to discover within this multimedia world.
I see 'networking' as another version of contextual theology. For biblical stuff, once we open it up for dialogue, it becames a realization that there is no 'the interpretation'. Multimedia alone is intersting but at times can be more of a 'small movie'....
