The discursive process is guided by linear time, whereas the recursive process follows a rhythm of cyclical time.

All this is fine, except that getting a printed copy of research from web pages is a nightmare. Let's take today, for example. I found Today is the day when schools across Florida will be faced with their annual report card as FCAT school grades are released. As always, there is a great deal of trepidation as administrators and teachers alike find out whether they'll be receiving hefty bonuses for doing well, or face forced reassignments if the school does poorly.

The real patron saint of the web It's nice to hear that, every once in a while, the nice guy finishes first. Sir Tim Berners-Lee was just awarded the Millennium Technology Prize. He was also knighted last December and listed as one of Time's 100 most influential people of the 20th century. So what did he do that was so great? He invented the Worldwide Web while at CERN in 1989. That in itself is not new: the hypertext concept is prevalent as far back as 1945. No, the real kicker is that he then gave the technology away. Without his contributions, the Internet as we know it today would never have existed: "There woul From silentblue | Quantified on June 15, 2004 at 5:00 a.m..

How Bad Is It? Look, I've steered clear of political commentary for a couple of months now. I know it's annoying, and I know it can be a downer. But it's important we take stock of whether we can do anything - as Americans - about our domestic and global predicament. Then, we artsy types can descend back into the hallucinatory haze of our cultural creativity.
