And while there are many good things about the 'old media' it can undoubtedly no longer stay as it is.Harriet Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13257106209545190912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198420768935430572.post-68989539437557415592007-07-20T19:31:00.000+00:002007-07-20T19:31:00.000+00:00Interesting debate as you say H., and one that I r...Interesting debate as you say H., and one that I remember taking place 13 years ago, as it dawned on academics that education would be the first area to be heavily impacted by the 'democratisation' of the Internet. As I recall, our strategy was to try to stem some of the damage by informing acamdemics that their domains were threatened either way by the encroaching technology and the best defense was to integrate and to try to make the change a positive one. Not entirely sure if this was succesful, but I am sure that a dialogue of this sort is necessary; not just the lamentation of the keepers of the golden gates and ivory towers. The access of information from specialised to general is in my opinion, a good thing. I remember the biggest defense academia posited against the Internet was that reading and especially writing itself, would die in the hands of these information amateurs and that communication as we know it would alter significantly, which for them ultimately would mean loss of jobs and careers, unless they adapted. I think like the education sector the media sector could stand to do with a little change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
