This article is reminiscent of the Blobject article in Chapter Two in that it states that “in the iPod there has been a perfect mix or harmony of function and design” (page 181). The John Dewey quote under the iAsthetics heading was intriguing; the experiences which result in a “consummation and not a cessation” are so much more fulfilling and meaningful. They can produce new understanding and direction as Mathew Dewey mentions.
How this results in, or is opposed to John Dewey’s (confusing having an author quote someone more famous with same last name – makes you wonder if they are related?) Participatory Democracy is obtuse reasoning. Interesting points but the aesthetic experience, legal ramifications and “new” were somewhat convoluted and difficult for me to follow.
“The beauty of an iPhone is ….” Would make an interesting piece, similar to Preston Wilcox’s “White Is …” mentioned in Chapter Nine, how many possibilities could be envisioned (and how out of date would it be by the time it was printed?)
