[Air-l] questioning authority

[Peter Timusk]

Of course and what the internet could become is almost meaningless 
(through repetition) asked all the time. How do pop magazines mesh  
with technology progress over time? How real are these next steps or  
really different.

Are there any models of this idea of the next step in the pop media  
or technical press or even the academic press and consumer prices for  
technology or Moore's law of decreasing processor size.

As a further critique and why I am trying to do internet impact  
studies I believe there was very little new written about the  
internet in academia in the late and middle 1990's most was  
repetitive scholarship.

Wired has been well critiqued by women scholars that I know  
of...mostly for sexism but also racism and abilist writing and being  
highly pro capitalist. What is missing is the plain none hyped  
impacts of the net.

Witness my systems science course where we are studying bio- 
evolutionary models of economics and evolutionary algorithms and not  
one female scholar on our reading list. Very cool systems science  
views NOT.
