Clay Shirky believes that convergent technologies that provide people with the tools to produce and share content will throw the relationship between lay people and institutions into turmoil. I ask, what impact will this have on the loftiest of institutions, the church? Read on

Colleges’ Land Lines Nearing Silent End

Another article on how cell phone usage is changing the world we live in. This time economically.

Colleges’ Land Lines Nearing Silent End:

The Washington Post reports that across the country, wired phones are becoming obsolete in colleges. Although not many colleges have eliminated them, “almost every major school is evaluating it,” said Jeri Semer, executive director of the Association for Communications Technology Professionals in Higher Education.

This transformation of campus culture — cell phones keeping students closely tied to friends and family, making social life fluid, even intruding on professors’ lectures — also poses a financial challenge for administrators. Land-line phones used to bring in money for many schools. Now some find themselves paying to maintain systems that students rarely use.

[...] Five years ago, the school made hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on long-distance service, said Carl Whitman, executive director of the Office of Information Technology. Last semester, the school made $1,109.”

This is pretty neat. Extispicous

This is a graphical representation of my bookmarks on del.icio.us

The larger the word, the more tags I have made for that subject. So, in a manner of speaking, this is a snapshot of my cyber-priorities.

I think it’s pretty neat.
