Wow. Listened to the lecture by Jaron Lanier from our LIS 2600 podcast page tonight. Love him! How is it that I had never heard of him? Guess because I'm not a techno-geek. Clearly he is a practiced lecturer, but he is very personable and intruiging. Hearing him made me want to go out and learn more about the various people and topics he discussed. Have since read up on Alan Turing (another person I think I should have come across somewhere along the way!), "The Machine Stops," and more info on Lanier's background. Getting my money's worth out of this course.
Wish I could get so into Kuhn! I am plodding through his book, but have trouble making myself read it. Not sure how I'm going to get it finished in time at this point...
