examples, Tinnell refreshingly returns the digital into the aesthetic. In particular, Tinnell’s discussion of how the digitally constructed is spatially orientated drives home the importance of linking rhetoric to ubiquitous computing. On occasion, Tinnell strays more into historical review, particularly with regard to Weiser (aforementioned) and Bernard Steigler—each has nearly an entire column of mentions in the index. However, by the time the reader has finished Actionable Media, this minor criticism is drowned out by his consistent use of textured examples. These range from an unpacking of GPS navigation’s ability to “conjoin lived perception and technical memory” (p. 76) to how the act of walking in Teri Rueb’s Itinerant serves as a nondiscursive action that delivers “structural agency for readers” (p. 134). Tinnell concludes with an “Epilogue,” an appropriately named chapter given the engaging narrative of his book. Within this epilogue, he proposes the idea of the “kairotic” intellectual, a term designed to reflect a shift towards the employment of ubiquitous computing by students and scholars within locales, generating and disseminating humanities knowledge to broader audiences. Despite Tinnell’s attempts to explore ubiquitous computing beyond the desktop and mobile phone, his examples and evidence suggest that mobile devices remain the dominant lens through which this shift can be imagined. To this extent, Actionable Media can be seen as a call to action made amidst an ongoing paradigm shift. Through a pushing forward of both technology and terminology, Tinnell powerfully finishes on the notion that actionable media enables the delivery of “the right words at the right time in the right place” (p. 223). This call for intervention is well made by Tinnell throughout Actionable Media, and the onus now falls on academics and artists alike to deliver the rise of the kairotic intellectual.

例如，Tinnell 令人耳目一新地将数字回归美学。尤其是，Tinnell 关于数字结构如何以空间为导向的讨论让我们认识到将修辞与无处不在的计算联系起来的重要性。有时，Tinnell 更倾向于历史回顾，特别是关于 Weiser（上述）和 Bernard Steigler——每个人在索引中几乎都有一整列提及。然而，当读者读完 Actionable Media 时，他对有纹理的例子的一贯使用淹没了这个小小的批评。这些范围从解包 GPS 导航“结合生活感知和技术记忆”的能力（第 76 页）到在 Teri Rueb 的《巡回》中行走的行为如何作为一种非话语行为，为读者提供“结构性代理”（第 134 页） ）。Tinnell 以“尾声”作为结尾，鉴于他的书引人入胜的叙述，这一章的名字恰如其分。在这个结语中，他提出了“kairotic”知识分子的概念，该术语旨在反映当地学生和学者转向使用无处不在的计算，为更广泛的受众产生和传播人文知识。尽管 Tinnell 试图探索桌面和移动电话之外的无处不在的计算，但他的例子和证据表明，移动设备仍然是可以想象这种转变的主要镜头。就此而言，Actionable Media 可以被视为在持续的范式转变中发出的行动呼吁。通过技术和术语的推动，Tinnell 有力地结束了这样一个概念，即可操作的媒体可以“在正确的时间在正确的地点提供正确的词”（第 223 页）。Tinnell 在整个 Actionable Media 中很好地发出了这种干预呼吁，现在学术界和艺术家都有责任推动知识分子的崛起。
