Predicting the future is stupid mr. Lemke

I just read a text by J.L. Lemke called “Metamedia Literacy: Transforming Meanings and Media” as part of the course AVS2220. I have read this kind of text before because it’s a typical “I predict that X” kind of text that fades into nothing more than a curiosity after X number of years because the prediction where dead wrong or, and this is important, predictions are useless.

But I’m bashing ahead of myself, lets se what mr. Lemke has to say, or what he is even talking about.

The jerks of the world

Strange how some people are just jerks. You meet them for the first time and imeadiatly you dislike their behavior and you classify them as jerks. Some stay jerks forever, some turn out just to have a bad day, some you never meet again and they stay forever in your memory, as jerks.

Some jerks are kinda cool
