A few weeks back, members of the LLTI list had the opportunity to respond to Josh Kim's blog entry on Inside Higher Ed relating to "obsolete technologies." As you can imagine, he received a lot of feedback on the article, including a dose of unprofessional ad hominem attacks. Such is the nature of blogs and the online world. Last week he posted a follow up entry entitled "The Importance of Place" that has probably not reached as wide an audience. http://bit.ly/ao2Wwp. I encourage you to read and respond appropriately. Disclaimer: Josh is a colleague and a friend, but I know that he appreciates any feedback, good or bad (he has a thick skin). He is more interested in the "conversation" and does not mind being "schooled" when appropriate.
