Martin Weller has posted his draft paper for comments, which will be integrated into the print version. A great idea for engaging the network and sharing informally while working toward a formal artifact. It's lengthy, but at a quick glance wortwhile. Check it out. Leave comments. Plenty to chew on here!

There is no giving up the internet now. And truly no logical reason exists why you couldn't be a thorough reader of both Proust and Gawker—both, after all, are interested in gossip—or couldn't exchange, by snail-mail, long, unbosoming letters with the same friend with whom you trade ticklishly glib text messages. A regular visitor to YouTube—a realm of mostly short, grainy clips pitched to amusement—can in theory also be a fan of Tarkovsky's long, eidetic, and solemn productions. The internet, as its proponents rightly remind us, makes for variety and convenience; it does not force anything on you.

Only it turns out it doesn't feel like that at all. We don't feel as if we had freely chosen our online practices. We feel instead that they are habits we have helplessly picked up or that history has enforced, that we are not distributing our attention as we intend or even like to. The experience of being online has at least as much to do with compulsiveness as with liberty.

More "tech is making us bad" rhetoric. Technology doesn't kill critical thinking, people kill critical thinking.

A great, concise piece on Andrew Keen and "Luddites" that I missed when it was first published. Keen is fading from the radar, but still worth reading... the comments thread also has some worthwhile ideas.
