Notes on Ch. 4 of "Small Pieces Loosely Joined"

PERFECTION

-Hallmark vs. hippie card company

-perfection is appreciated in real-life, imperfection is liked on the internet

-flute player demo in class

-Saturn dealership example... words like "rest assured", yet online on a blog people will post more honest and not as sugar coated points of views/answers

-example of how standards for perfection are lower on internet
- search engine: #14 is the one you want... great! You found it!
- real-life: 13 wrong ones until you got a right one? Not good.

-question of what is perfection (bunk bed chat)
-constant use of odd metaphors and examples comparing humans to animals and such to emphasize the imperfection of the human race

-Management in the Web versus management of the Hoover Dam-opposites
