"Civilization is entirely the product of phonetic literacy. As it dissolves with the electronic revolution, we rediscover a tribal integral awareness that manifests itself in a complete shift in our sensory lives....This new electronic environment itself constitutes an inner trip, collectively, without benefit of drugs. The impulse to use hallucinogens is a kind of empathy with the electronic environment." - Marshall McLuhan

Napsterizing Education

fred-wilson:

To napsterize education, then, you need to somehow seize that credential-granting authority (or at least: make that authority non-exclusive), which would mean being able to offer some widely-accepted alternative credential system, or do something else that accomplished the same things; this would decouple measurement of educational attainment from the current institutional framework for granting such certification, and create an ecosystem in which alternative approaches can bloom.

When the weather drops below 45 degrees, two things happen. My landlord finally turns on the heat and I start listening to Sibelius again. It’s like a hothouse hissing eargasm.
