Chapter 4 Notes and Discussion

For every problem, there are causes and effects. That's about the crux of this chapter. There are a lot of variations on this theme, but what I like the best of this is how the authors used visual mapping techniques. I find that these maps work best at building flowing arguments, especially in new media techniques. I suppose it's much more of a visual arrangement. It's almost Tuftean in design. (Yes, Dan, I just referred to Tufte)

I'm of Dan's opinion that one can have too much lit review, especially given our discussion last week of "need to know vs. want to say," but my question is how little is too little?
