Birkerts May Have It
“The Fall of the Site of Marsha” is the electronic text I have chosen from the provided bank. I will proceed to evaluate its literary consistency and, juxstaposed to earlier positions, agree with Birkerts on the topic of digital consumption. A quote that will aid in bringing my topic into focus comes on page 222; “The species is fit because it knows how to fit. But there are drawbacks as well. . .We are cut off from beauty, from love, from true passion, and from the spiritual.” This citing may arouse a counter arguement that would assess love and passion and beauty potentially being held somewhere in evolving technologies. While this could be true to an extent, I would respond with looking into the emptiness and madness in Marsha, how the technology destroyed her life that existed quite pleasantly before; swallowing the love, the passion, and the spiritual.
