This course has now allowed me to accept many digital fictions as legitimate narratives. Whilst before I did not understand the narratives of digital fictions such as Victory Garden. The course has shown me that hyper-fictions like Victory Garden can tell a genuine story through several links and nodes and have the story make sense because of the authors careful thought in connecting the nodes into a cohesive story the reader can dissect. I particularly enjoyed some of the articles like "A Rape in Cyberspace" by Julian Dibbell and "Watching TV Makes You Smarter" by Steven Johnson. As they changed my viewpoints on certain subjects. The Dibbell article because of its progression of following the narrators view of being sceptical to then siding with the victims, and as a reader I followed the same progression as the narrator.

Although I rarely explore MUDs it has given me a deeper perspective into the psychological effects that can happen to people who become fully involved. The article "Watching TV Makes You Smarter" was interesting to me as an avid TV watcher. It gave me insights into the evolution of TV shows from the past to present. As shown in the article through the sleeper curves which highlight the growing complexity in television. This has given me better understanding of the way I watch television and the complexity of the many different sleeper curve narratives, which are shown to be rising over the years. I can now look at an episode of "The Sopranos" or "Hill Street Blues" where I can appreciate the multiple threading and recurring characters involved or when watching an episode of "Starsky and Hutch", the almost singular linear thread which requires less involvement from the viewer than almost all of today’s shows.
