Stephen Francoeur's Commonplace Book

Definitely go back to the start of the posts between Mike Ridley and John Mediema that are written to lead up to their face-to-face debate over literacy. Pull quote from this post by Ridley: “will argue, in the nicest possible way, that slow reading is a cowardly retreat from the challenge of a hyper-connected, always on, information ecology. That’s the way things are, and will be. Get over it. Better yet, find a way to deal with it. And stopping the world to get off is not an option. Conventional literacy isn’t going to cut it in such a world. Sorry.”
