 Before this class I thought genre was a topic like action, non-fiction, fiction and etc. My definition of genre is changing because of this class. I now know genre is not so broad as fiction and non-fiction. I see now that almost everything with the right components and if it follows P-CHAT it will and can be a genre. Something as simple as a scorecard can be considered a genre. Things I interact with every day that could be considered a genre is a app on my phone. The app will collect my data and then be able to spot different things I like. An example of this is Instagram. Instagram is a website where people can go like peoples posts and post themselves. But these people also have certain things they like, and it will eventually show on your explorer page. Different accounts and different adds will come up on you feed determining on the data the app have collected from you overtime. This is personal to me because I chat my Instagram from football and soccer updates all the time. Instagram helps me know what is going in my friends lives and helps me keep in touch.
