Note that if you need help with STATS concepts – the QuaSAR center can help! They won’t know JMP or Resampling Stats, but the know the concepts! They have lots of hours!

Monday:

Required reading – First half of Jaron Lanier’s You are Not a Gadget (pp. 1-99) - 1-2 page reflection writing due in seminar – on ONE of the two topics below (or your own question). Bring a hardcopy to class and upload an electronic copy to the moodle:
Note: DO NOT summarize part of the reading. Instead, provide an interpretation of and/or an opinion about what you read. If you feel like the default topics are leading you down a path to summary, please choose your own topic to discuss.Default topic 1. Lainer is very aware of how technology can structure consciousness. Pick a pre-internet technology (the printing press, the automobile, municipal water, vaccines, electricity, etc) and compare its effects on consciousness with the effects of the internet as Lanier sees them.
Default topic 2. Jaron Lanier sees the “singularity” as a technological heaven, and thus a turning away from reason. Is this your understanding of the singularity?
Default topic 3. Lanier creates an amazing dystopia of the present. The main element lacking from his narrative is a protagonist. Write a two page short story about a character (or non-character) who lives in Lanier’s dystopia.
