Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Kathy: you wrote: "And don't dismiss the offer of a computer as you all sit wired together in your offices. Just where would you be without a computer? The lack of access to the internet is a huge equity issue. " But the fact that you give someone an internet ready computer does not mean they have access to the Internet. First they need a phone line or some other connection. Second, they access to an ISP (which usually costs something). In the literature I have seen, Edison provides neither one. Thus the mere presence of a computer has not necessarilya ddressed the issue about which you wrote.
