The+Shallows

Anyone else referring to //The Shallows// in their conversations and thoughts? A HS English teacher recently asked to use a Lesson I had shared on [|Slide Share]. The lesson is a Webquest, (hate to admit that after our discussion, but...!), involving MT Anderson's //The Feed,// which is one of my all time favorite YA books. The Feed is a dystopian, novel in which computers are planted in people's brains. When replying to the educator to tell her that of course she could use the lesson, I told her that T//he Shallows// would make a great nonfiction accompaniment to the learning experience.

The other day someone on a librarian's list serve mentioned that she had a class researching the Industrial Revolution, with the goal of concluding how it helped and how it may of hurt society in the long run. Hmmm... what about the Tech/information revolution we're living in right now? Some thoughts for now!
