Oops!I Did It Again (Britney Spears) I think
I did it again I made you believe were more than
just friends Oh baby It might seem like a
crush But it doesnt mean that Im serious Cause
to lose all my senses That is just so typically
me Oh baby, baby CHORUS Oops!I did it again I
played with your heart got lost in the game Oh
baby, baby Oops!you think Im in love That Im
sent from above Im not that innocent
You see my problem is this Im dreaming
away Wishing that heroes, they truly exist I cry,
watching the days Cant you see Im a fool in so
many ways But to lose all my senses That is just
so typically me Baby, oh REPEAT CHORUS All
aboard Brittney, before you go,
theres something I want you to have Oh, Its
beautiful, but wait a minute, isnt
this..? Yeah, it is But I thought the old
lady dropped it into the ocean in the end Well
baby, I went down and got it for you Oh, you
shouldnt haveREPEAT CHORUS

• - Another great philosopher, Socrates praised
  this form
• of communication..
• -Why Socrates preferred dialogue over writing.
• Why John Durham Peters disagreed with Socrates
• which leads us to another form of communication,
  the
• Broadcast Model.

8
The Broadcast Model communication among
ghosts -face to face communication not always
possible in modern life -the broadcast model
implies sending a mediated message from one to
many. In this model, the message becomes
disembodied and the sender loses control of the
meaning. Thus, the receiver controls the
message.

and hide When you're screamin' my name, alright

can't you see How your love's affecting our
reality Every time we're down You can make it
right And that makes you larger than life
Looking at the crowd And I see your body sway,
c'mon Wishin' I could thank you in a different
way, c'mon 'Cause all of your time spent keeps
us alive
CHORUS - repeat All of your time spent keeps us
alive CHORUS - repeat Yeah, every time we're
down Yeah, you can make it right Yeah, and
that's what makes you larger than life CHORUS
- repeat
