Why play is vital - no matter your age: Stuart Brown on TED.com - 0 views

  •  
    Hard science on the importance of play for human development. How are games and play different? What are the categories of play? Can video games give us the same result as play? Should we have a category of "video toys" separate from "video games"? If we move toward video game education we need to make sure play is a portion of that education.

Am I an Argo? - 0 views

  •  
    An Argo, in an article we read, is a boat that was completely replaced: "Argo is an object with no other cause than its name, with no other identity than its form." I have been told that the human body is an Argo, that it replaces all its cells every 7 years, we are only structure, pattern. Current evidence says this is not true, some matter remains: "About the only pieces of the body that last a lifetime, on present evidence, seem to be the neurons of the cerebral cortex, the inner lens cells of the eye and perhaps the muscle cells of the heart."

Deconstructing 'You've Got Blog' (book version; Joe Clark: fawny.org) - 0 views

  • A blog is a form of exteriorized psychology. It’s a part of you, or of your psyche; while a titanium hip joint or a pacemaker might bring technology inside the corporeal you, a Weblog uses technology to bring the psychological you outside of it. Your Weblog acts as a new limb, a new mouth, and a new hemisphere of the brain. Once those new organs come into being, you’re no more likely to remove or amputate them than the original organic equipment they augment. I continue to write Weblogs – not for money, not for renown, not for anyone but myself.

      This sounds so much like Ulmer's presentation of technology as a "prosthesis" for a "natural or organic human potential."
