Assemblage is an assortment of things pieced together to create something else. The example that helped me best understand this was the exercise in class where we dissected the things needed to create a tweet.

We know these things are needed because if one part is lacking the experience we know as tweeting something out would not be the same. An error in assemblage can cause the domino effect to take place depending on what the error occurs in. The question in technology these days is whether to let technology fix these errors and give them the agency to do so or to have humans always checking through these aspects of technology so that the domino effect doesn’t occur. These errors are what occur when social media apps such as Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook go down and aren’t able to be used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
