If there's no description, I often discard it. If I'm having an especially grumpy day, I use the spam filter software to bounce it back--just another case of techno-civil disobedience. <BR/><BR/>m(mmm)--I wonder how many of us had that reaction: "Yo, Siva--where have you been looking all these years?" I guess no one pays attention to what we say about the emperor and his clothes unless we're in the CHE, though.undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05589384016564587214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-36300337338197083882008-09-20T20:46:00.000-07:002008-09-20T20:46:00.000-07:00I had the same immediate reaction about the digita...I had the same immediate reaction about the digital natives myth.Michael LeVanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984885131387135660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-61390557673942664922008-09-19T23:27:00.000-07:002008-09-19T23:27:00.000-07:00They're not all tech savvy, and they do like actua...They're not all tech savvy, and they do like actual books.<BR/><BR/>They don't all like those loose leaf textbooks, either, or xeroxed readers.<BR/><BR/>[Rant: My peeve du jour: everyone now sends all announcements as flyers by attachments, it seems.
