My group members and I defined Electronic literature based on what we have learned in class so far. To us, it is literature created via a digital platform, such as a computer, phone, or tablet, which is meant to be interacted and/or read on a digital platform just like it the ones it was created on. One such piece of Electronic Literature which is read and interacted with is called, " Public Secrets ," by Sharon Daniel and Erik Loyer.

During Friday's class our group created an original work of uncreative writing via popular YouTube videos. We were instructed to pick out lines or words that stood out to us as important. From this our group created this piece of Uncreative Writing . One thing our writing shows is a strong sense of trends on the internet. Trends are continuously changing, we see current trends through the topics of the video clips we viewed.  The subjects who are at the focus of these clips include Bob Marley, Gordon Ramsay, Billy Eichner, Nicki Minaj, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling.  Each of these popular icons represent a certain aspect of culture and each are authors of many different products including their interview responses.  If we transcsribe the dialogue into a poem, the result is a product which should be credited to each original source as well as we the interpreters. The material that we read and created were composed of multiple persons thoughts and ideas. As Kenneth ...
