First off I found the dicussion of cultural relics interesting. I was thinking the other day as i observed that I would have a hard time finding culural relics but the book discussion gave me a different perspective. I realized that I needed to take the connotations of relics out of my frame of mind. I was thinking more Raiders of the Lost Ark instead of simply what is important to my subculture.
The discussion of Skye the blogging girl seemed very unimportant when i read it. Then there was a dead end paragraph called What About Bill? that seemed like it was just overlooked by the book editor. Regardless Skye using a blog as a journal is understandable because she can get anonymous feedback. I think the constant obsession with connectivity with others is a byproduct of our technological advancement. I'm not sure if this is a positive or negative thing. People are more likely to express themselves because they can associate with others like themselves despite geographical distance. This expression can help people deveop but also can lead to less of a regional identity.
