Email Is The Third Revolutionary Step In Communications
from the and-it-sells-books dept
A professor is now claiming that email and the internet as a communications medium is the third revolutionary step in communications after learning to speak and write. I think that might be something of a stretch, but I do think it's also interesting that the professor is hawking a book called Netspeak. I'm sure it helps to sell a few extra copies of a book when you make outrageous claims.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
