11-12 blog post

This blog is written about the If/Then entry on furtherfield. It is about a book called Digital Contagions. The book explores the different viruses that effect our digital world today. It covers a wide range of these while putting forth the idea that viruses are a necessity. The book may be mistaken by some as an anti bill gates or computer type of book. This is not the case however. The book covers both sides of the argument for and against viruses and thoroughly describes why viruses are a major part of our technological society. They are a part of the digital culture and are part of an system that is always changing. This book is a very good view into the ideas that viruses are not only annoying but they are essential and non avoidable. They are a part of the technological culture that has developed in our society today.
