"After the novel, and subsequently cinema, privileged narrative as the key form of cultural expression of the modern age, the computer age introduces its correlate - the database." (The Language of New Media, p. 218).

"un código puede también suministrar su propio modelo de mundo, su sistema lógico e ideología, y los mensajes culturales o los lenguajes enteros que se creen posteriormente en ese código se verán limitados por ese modelo, sistema o ideología que lo acompaña”.

"Survival in bytes, then, ultimately depends on how well this "user" can
learn or assimilate the operations of the computer and then act
flawlessly according to its set patterns. Whether you, the "user,"
operate in Doom or MS Office, the principle remains the same--mastery
of the algorithm comes with surrender to an inescapable logic of
behavior and thought." (by
Are Flagan)
