• Why bother with a word processor – when you can create a rich multimedia representation on MySpace or
YouTube?
• Why have a written dialogue – when you can blog or co-create a wiki?
• Why use email – when you can instant message?
• Why meet in a classroom – when your avatars can meet in a virtual environment?
• For that matter, once we are in cyberspace, – why not enjoy an immersive simulation as opposed to just talking back and
forth?(ECAR Research Study 6, 2007)

Will they [our children] become so accustomed to immediate access to escalating on-screen information that they will fail to probe beyond the information given to the deeper layers of insight, imagination, and knowledge that have led us to this stage of human thought?
Or will the new demands of information technologies to
multi-task, integrate, and prioritize vast amounts of information help to develop equally, if not more valuable, skills that will increase human intellectual capacities, quality of life, and collective wisdom as a species?
-- Maryanne Wolf

It would be a shame if the very intellect that produced
the digital revolutioncould be destroyed by it.

I use lots of technology, but my sister whois a sophomore in high school knows moreabout technology than I do. I’ve been toobusy to keep up and I am getting outdated. I guess we are all dinosaurs to some extent.

• Knowledge-based, global society – Internet; mass media– Immediate, constant, life-long– Collective intelligence
• Social production of meaning– From individual to communal ownership – Social tagging; Wikis; cooperatives
• Linear to associational thinking– Massive amounts of information in multiple formats– Unconstrained time, place, control, authority
• Fluidity between physical and virtual– Ubiquitous technology, access– Online communities– Virtual environments, games
