Warning: Blogs Can Be Infectious, Wired News, Amit Asaravala,
March 5, 2004, Story location:
http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,62537,00.html
The most-read webloggers aren't necessarily the ones with
the most original ideas, say researchers at Hewlett-Packard Labs.
Using newly developed techniques for graphing the flow of
information between blogs, the researchers have discovered that
authors of popular blog sites regularly borrow topics from
lesser-known bloggers -- and they often do so without attribution.
These findings are important to sociologists who are interested
in learning how ideas grow from isolated topics into full-blown
epidemics that "infect" large populations. Such an understanding
is also important to marketers, who hope to be able to pitch products
and ideas directly to the most influential people in a given group.

learning to love powerpoint, david byrne, wired magazine 11.09,
september 2003. "I began to see PowerPoint as a metaprogram,
one that organizes and presents stuff created in other applications.
Initially, I made presentations about presentations; they were almost
completely without content. The content, I learned, was in the medium
itself. I discovered that I could attach my photographs, short videos,
scanned images, and music. What's more, the application can be made
to run by itself -no one even needs to be at the podium. How fantastic!"

september 2003, "Issue 11.09 - September 2003
"Particularly disturbing is the adoption of the PowerPoint cognitive
style in our schools. Rather than learning to write a report using
sentences, children are being taught how to formulate client pitches
and infomercials. Elementary school PowerPoint exercises (as seen in
teacher guides and in student work posted on the Internet) typically
consist of 10 to 20 words and a piece of clip art on each slide in a
presentation of three to six slides -a total of perhaps 80 words (15
seconds of silent reading) for a week of work. Students would be better
off if the schools simply closed down on those days and everyone went
to the Exploratorium or wrote an illustrated essay explaining something."
