Are you (ever) embarrassed to be human?

December 21, 2016 by Randal

The Wikipediazation of the World

January 10, 2011 by Randal

While digging through old notes for a new semester I came across this graphic that I had found somewhere at some time in the dim past. I don’t actually think “postmodernism” is the issue here. But the graphic does effectively capture the “Wikipediazation” of discussion and debate, particularly in the internet sphere. And it alludes to […]
