Perform the following task out of interest and then submit it to the Discussion Board as Exercise 07:
EX 07: Using the technique described by Kenneth Goldsmith in "Revenge of the Text," change the "filename extensions" on computer files to either ".txt" or ".raw" and after opening these files, manipulate them by cutting and pasting other texts into them at different locations; then re-open this corrupted file under its original "filename extension"in order to evaluate the results of this experiment. Choose your finest result from this repeated exercise, and then, in 150 words, explain your procedure, providing a rationale for your choice of these files, explaining what you might have learnt from this task (doing so with reference to ideas used by Kenneth Goldsmith). If you have difficulty viewing the extensions on the filenames of your files in either your PC or your Mac, then you can consult these websites (or use Google to find an appropriate alternative to them) in order to reset the parameters of your computer
