  • If students act in a mature manner and present a fair cell phone use agreement to their parents, teachers, and administrators, maybe this cell phone controversy can be settled for the benefit of all.

      The important words for making this work are "mature" and "agreement". Students have to follow the rules for this to work, and there have to be consequences if they don't.

    I like to try to read opposing arguments to my own views, and I have to admit that some of these people make some pretty good ones!

    Technology is evil, the robots are taking over, and we're all going to die! Here's a quote: I think it is no exaggeration to say we are on the cusp of the further perfection of extreme evil, an evil whose possibility spreads well beyond that which weapons of mass destruction bequeathed to the nation-states, on to a surprising and terrible empowerment of extreme individuals. God help us all.

  • An appeals court has struck down the FCC ban on "fleeting curses" in live broadcasts. Is this a win for freedom of speech or vulgarity?

      I wonder if/how this will impact the current free speech arguments that are being made in defense of student posted work? Are we becoming more liberal?
  • Parents shouldn't be relying on the FCC, anyway: As the ruling demonstrated, it's futile for the FCC to try and enforce subjective standards of decency, says the Los Angeles Times in an editorial. "Besides, the FCC can't shield children from inappropriate programs — it has no authority over cable TV channels, and it can't stop kids from using DVRs or the Internet to watch late-night programming in the middle of the day." Luckily, parents now have better tools for blocking programs. The FCC should focus on promoting those methods.

    I recently saw an episode of The Colbert Report where Nicholas Carr carefully examines the most important topic in contemporary culture; the mental and social transformation created by our new electronic environment. The challenge will be to stay off the web long enough to read his book! This is an interview about his previous book (same topic). Here is a link: http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/185695/september-25-2008/nicholas-carr
