Siva Vaidhyanathan, "Generational Myth: Not all young people are tech-savvy," The Chronicle Review (Sept. 19, 2008)

Vaidhyanathan's point: stop talking about the "digital generation." It's bullshit. Among current students, some are comfortable with web technology, others are not, and most are anything but "savvy." For example: they have no idea how to use Google effectively, just like twenty years ago most of them had no idea how to use a library reference room effectively, and no idea how to analyze broadcast or print media critically. Why should they? Are people thinking they somehow pick up these skills by osmosis just because computers are lying around?

On the idea of "ambient intimacy." Lots of discussion of Twitter and Facebook. Thoughtful and interesting. Not finished yet. Too long for my Twitter-addled attention span. Permalink: http://snipr.com/3nj2z

http://www.philosophicalsociety.com/Archives/McLuhan%27s%20Philosophy.htm

Got curious about McLuhan, whose ideas I have only a very superficial conception of, via one of @melmcbride's Friendfeed posts. This seems like a useful resource page of links and extracts.

"Hi, I'm __ and I am a wilfer" -- aimless websurfing and its effect on your life

"Wilfer" stands for (roughly) "What Was I Looking For" and refers to the habit of getting distracted and lost online when you actually meant to find something specific. I do this constantly.
