Based on any of the learning materials in this module (i.e. this module summary, and/or the Brunstein,
Bishop and Vanderbilt readings), reflect on the relationship between technology and consumer critique?
Does the idea of an algorithmic culture, in other words, validate the critique, or does it refute the critique’s
(and Adorno’s) notion of mass culture?
Be sure to address the following important aspects: (a.) exactly what you mean by ‘consumer critique;’ (b.)
the specific ideas, arguments, and/or concepts from the learning materials of this module; and (c.) your own
personal experiences or anecdotes.
Your response may be a written reflection. It does not have to be formal essay, but it needs to be thoughtful
or insightful, so give yourself plenty of time to think and write about it. There is no minimum word-count,
but the more you write, the more insightful you can be.
