    While sites like Facebook and Google seem to be taking over the world, it would be nice to be able to eliminate some of the sites we all are constantly having to check or update or interact on or remember logins and passwords for! Just think: no more Blackboard, you're already on Facebook all the time-why not post for class while you're there? :-)

    I had to share this because it's just too funny but also seems to make an interesting critique on the problems with fact checking and collaborative and anonymous contributions to an encyclopedia. It also seems to make a commentary on how we establish relevancy by adding items (including ourselves) to these kinds of encyclopedias.

  • paper products make up the largest share of solid waste in the United States. This country is also the largest paper consumer in the world, with one person going through an average of 663 pounds each year.
  • the past several years have seen such improvements in electronic readers and other eco-friendly technologies that a paperless world is now possible
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • some publications have shifted toward online-only content
  • It’s now possible to purchase and read many required textbooks online.
  • the course pack, should simply be banned
  • In cases in which copyright issues arise, course packs should be made available for purchase as e-books.
  • reduce the amount of money allocated to students for printing
  • encourage professors to require that homework be submitted online
  • The money formerly used for paper could be transferred to something more environmentally friendly, like purchasing eReaders that can be checked out in the library.
  • the main objection to eReaders – that the energy required to make and use one exceeds the carbon impact of making a book – is largely invalid: The carbon emitted in the life cycle of an Amazon Kindle is fully offset after one year of us
