On page 178, Boyd discusses a quote about natives and immigrants in cyberspace. What role does the source/his background play in interpreting her argument? 4. Boyd often distinguishes between formal/explicit instruction about how to use technology with more personal/social/experimental ways of learning technology. What are the key distinctions between these and why do they matter to Boyd’s argument? What experiences did you have with learning digital technologies (both formal and informal)? Did your learning experiences ever include explicit attention to ways of being critical/questioning of particular technologies or their affordances? If so, what and how?
