More on Michael Wesch’s Video Work

A week or two ago, I posted links to three videos by anthropologist Michael Wesch that examine issues regarding how computers and the Internet have fundamentally altered how we handle and confront information, and are therefore fundamentally altering how we think and even know. One of those videos, A Vision of Students Today, directly addresses the effect this has on today’s college students.

This week, Wesch has written a blog post that addresses some of the criticisms he has received about the film. His response, Clarifications on “A Vision…,” is well worth the brief time required to read it.

Also on his blog this week is another response to the video that was originally posted as a comment to his clarification post. It is entitled “
A Vision of Professors Today (by Sandra).” It too is well worth the read.
