Fully Myelinated Politics | Monday November 23, 2009 | By shgreene

One of the dumber arguments against trying KSM in New York is that somehow terrorists are going to learn all of our top secret methods (who knew the U.S. uses waterboarding?).  The truth is federal judges routinely bend over backwards to protect any...

Although this is a very interesting article, I have to take issue with the author's definition of publication.  He ends the article by stressing the importance of ancient Athenian writing which gave us "drama, philosophy, science, mathematics,...

Fully Myelinated Politics | Monday November 23, 2009 | By shgreene

Just how ridiculous has the filibuster become?  Theoretically, the filibuster is unlimited debate, such that the majority can never take a vote while being stymied by the minority holding the floor during debate.  The only way to end this...

  In the article, “A Writing Revolution,” by Pelli and Bigelow it is claimed that by the year 2013 100% of everyone in the world will be “authoring,” or in other words, writing something via blog, facebook, or twitter that at least 100 others...

This semester one of the classes I am pleased to say is almost finished is E101.  Required for all engineering students at North Carolina State University, E101 can be frustrating, yet at the same time some things can be learned from it.  This...

I recently read your article "A Writing Revolution," and found the content to be quite interesting.  I had no idea that the rise in authorship had increased so much in the past several years.  The fact that the rate of authorship is...

I take issue with a few of the assumptions that you're making with your study of authorship.  Considering any text, especially those that are solely electronic, published if it reaches a reader base of at least 100 people does a gross injustice to the...

I am not a tech geek. General | Sunday November 22, 2009 | By kmbenton

This week, our final week, we discussed geography and how to incorporate it more into the classroom. In the Ning discussion, I posted on pro-geography. Here, I'd like to take a moment to talk about geocaching. IF I had the technology provided by my school of...

You're sensationalizing the effect of social media.I seriously doubt that Facebook and Twitter count as significant published works. I'll give you blogs, because some of those authors actually have something to contribute to the world, but Twitter and Facebook...

Your article on the widespread rise of authorship is very interesting, as is the data you present regarding publishing across the centuries. Unarguably, it is amazing to realize the impact that the internet and social networking sites have on the transfer of...

If this argument holds water, it holds it from its own contorted definition of publishing.  As scholars, we know publication to be something much more active than simply a basic readership of a hundred people.  Maybe - and just maybe - everyone will...

While your article presents an interesting concept, I must say that, in my opinion, your predictions are simply NOT going to happen, at least in the time span that you are proposing.  "Everyone" in the world publishing by 2013? ...

World English(es) General | Sunday November 22, 2009 | By jdlomeli

Professors, I hate to break it to you, but I believe there is a slim chance that your predictions will prove to be correct. You hypothesize that every person will publish by the year 2013. One-hundred percent participation. Correct me if I'm wrong, but...
