Node for Offline Media, Archives, and Data
That's the first header, and the first sentence of the first paragraph, and I'm confused.
- collabs 7mo agoMy guess is >Knowledge That Never Goes Offline Means >Knowledge That Never becomes inaccessible to you While the next offline means you can access it even if you don't have access to a wider network. At least that's how I would read it.
- DonaldPShimoda 7mo agoTwo different uses of "offline", I think. From my own understanding: To "go offline" means for something to become inaccessible that was once accessible "online". ("Offline" is an adverb.) Meanwhile, an "offline" thing is one which is usable even without ever being "online". ("Offline" is an adjective.) So it becomes: > "Knowledge That Never [Becomes Inaccessible]" > "Node for [Accessible-Without-Connection] Media, Archives, and Data" But definitely confusing to put them right next to each other like that. You'd think a copyeditor would flag it or something.
