I really found the Apportionment Methods reading cool how they put assigning seats in the House of Representatives in a system/formula. Great way to combine politics with Digital Culture in my opinion. While reading "Computer Programming as an Art," I really found it crazy that an entire paper could be based off of the notion as if Computer Programming should be considered an art, science, or both. Honestly when I think of "art" I think of abstract concepts and literally something that someone, an artist, created from a blank canvas. Now that I think about it though, Computer Programming is sort of the same thing.
Computer programmers start from a blank slate and depending on what they want their program to carry out is what their masterpiece will turn out to look like. The Imitation Game actually sounds like a lot of fun. I really like how the writer began with the basic rules of the game using humans then shifted gears and incorporated the use of machines to take the place of the game contestants. I believe the game would be way more natural using humans like the writer mentioned, with technical questions it would take us way longer to figure them out compared to a robot. The "Walking in the City" was very confusing to me. I didn't really see how it was connecting with the concept of Digital Culture.
