Soft(a)ware in the English Classroom

Seabury cites that media theorist Lev Manovich argued in The Language of New Media that throughout human history, narrative has been the dominant form of organizing human information. There is some truth in Manovich's concept that makes literature a powerful vehicle for commentary and critique of software-powered technologies today. She shares a poetic response to the rise of technology and software-mindedness in education, one that complexifies Manovich's reference to narrative even further. The poem Bank on It is also presented.
