Do you remember our discussions about paper vs. electronic reading and media? It all tied into web publishing and electronic vs paper files and documents. Well, there is an excellent article at Slate that discusses this and makes clear some of the defining characteristics of today's publishing.
The way we find, collect and use information is changing. For myself and people my age I can see the difference. It is probably harder for you to realize since most of you have not experienced anything different. There has also been significant research about how our brains are actually being wired differently because of all the exposure to electronic media.
A good topic for an EE.
BTW you should watch the 11th Hour, Leo's film about the environment. Excellent piece of work and it has a lot for your courses.
