This is an interesting article about presence. A number of emerging technologies including virtual reality, simulation rides, video conferencing, home theater, and high definition television are designed to provide media users with an illusion that a mediated experience is not mediated, a perception defined here as presence. Traditional media such as the telephone, radio, television, [...]

Bilingual?
I am currently thinking about if I should run my german weblog here too. I decided to be bilingual – and currently the german weblog is more a weblog for my teaching activities. I don’t want to mix it like Erik does.

Publishing or conversation?
Jeff Ward is asking if weblogs are publishing or actually some kind of converstation. He is pointing to Lilia Efimova who is warning about potential degradation of communication by superficial reading & writing (or listening & replying). “I cannot adopt the concept that “conversation” alone is a good reason to invest this much time in [...]
