I find certain terms Semantic Jazz !  My first is Blog which I have chosen to rename a content creation platform- The latest buzz word in the Digital Media is Social Media -  Which until I read Gotham Gal I had a hard time defining ! Gotham Gal’s content covers areas of our lives that are truly Social-Food- Art-Book’s-Travel etc !  Art is becoming Overlooked in our society and it seems Mac Donalds is a restaurant of choice!  Although Mac Donalds has good coffee ! Gotham Gal’s Social Media is a life active in Education and more !  Not in the evaluation of advertising techniques on the Internet !  I think many of the Social Media Gurus are overlooking the Human Condition !  Rarily do the Gurus reccomend a great read like !   The Anatomy of Melancholy (Full title The Anatomy of Melancholy, What it is: With all the Kinds, Causes, Symptomes, Prognostickes, and Several Cures of it. In Three Maine Partitions with their several Sections, Members, and Subsections. Philosophically, Historically, Opened and Cut up.) is a book by Robert Burton, first published in 1621.
On its surface, the book is a medical textbook in which Burton applies his large and varied learning in the scholastic manner to the subject of melancholia (which includes what is now termed clinical depression).
Though presented as a medical text, The Anatomy of Melancholy is as much a sui generis work of literature as it is a scientific or philosophical text, and Burton addresses far more than his stated subject. In fact, the Anatomy uses melancholy as the lens through which all human emotion and thought may be scrutinized, and virtually the entire contents of a 17th-century library are marshalled into service of this goal.[1]
Burton is forthright about his intentions in writing the Anatomy — “I write of melancholy by being busy to avoid melancholy,” he concedes. This acknowledged desire to distract and amuse himself motivated Burton to produce a uniquely wide-ranging document, stuffed with digressions and commentary. Whatever its strengths as a medical text or as a historical document, it is the Anatomy’s vast breadth — addressing everything from digestion to goblins to the geography of America[1] — and the particularly characteristic voice of its author that are most commonly cited by its admirers as the main sources of its appeal. Both satirical and serious in tone, the Anatomy is “vitalized by (Burton’s) pervading humour”[2], and Burton’s digressive and inclusive style, often verging on a stream of consciousness, consistently informs and animates the text.

One Problem area of Engineering Schools Computor Science classes may be a lack of emphasis on Liberal Arts
