Comment on Working Within Wikipedia: Infrastructures of Knowing and Knowledge Production by Chris Halter

Your thoughts on this are very interesting. It does seem that some verification of collected information sites is needed and a true examination of how knowledge in these sites are shaped, refined, verified, and extended.

Have you thought about your ideas in relation to either distributed knowledge or Connectivism?

Comment on Technology in the Classroom: A Response to Arthur Bochner by Ryan

This was a very bad response that holds no strength as an argument.

You seem extremely dependent on technology. A very sad thing indeed.

Also, you can’t differentiate between who is taking notes on a laptop or browsing the web.

I enjoyed your bringing of Latour to the validity claims of wikipedia:
Bruno Latour, whose social study of science questioned scientific inquiry by showing how the output of scientific effort is materially affected by the technosocial institutions.
Your essay stop short of describing knowledge as not only created but held as ‘truth’ within sociotechnical institutions.
What then of competing sociotechnical institutions. Not about goodness or badness but how relations to knowledge get reframed.

Comment on Review: 10 Books That Screwed Up the World by Benjamin Wiker by Jerry in Detroit

Found this book in the bargain bin at Barnes & Noble the other day. While the premise is interesting, as you’ve so noted, the implementation leaves much to be desired. Some years ago, Harlan Ellison mentioned that science fiction is less about the future than s snapshot of the era. Following your line of thought, the same would seem to apply to many of the books mentioned in Mr. Wiker’s books.

Much of your thesis is based on a view that the Nature “study” was credible and fair. Many have argued that it was not. Not even close.
