- techbio 7y agoThank you for the reply. I’m just not sure that intentionality, self-expression, and idea development are so clearly absent in the requests made to so many specific services.
- gt2 7y agoSerious questions: What if someone made intentional patterns in their click trail? Just for the sake of the trail itself? For instance this person believed data was beautiful and/or wanted to make a statement with the shape and/or content of the data produced.
