Watt: The part on the quote that might be mis-attributed seemed relevant because I know that many quotes online are wrongly attributed. Also, many photos are posted online with incorrect historical information/ misleading information. The point about the scholar using old texts that were digitized was also interesting: I have found the same experience with finding digital materials to be easier to use. Watt makes an interesting point that students seeing their professors in the library and vice versa allows us to draw parallels between the tasks of research and studying.

The video on Harry Potter was relevant to me because my boyfriend is a sound engineer and does a lot of composing for video, mostly advertisements and documentaries. I thought it was interesting how the composers had to create music that worked for different types of scenes in the game: combat (interactive), cut scenes (linear) and then some other scenes like"the flight to the Burrow" that were also somewhat linear. I could really see how the music enhanced the sense of drama in the game. The contra-bass trombone was especially cool!
