This piece on the new rumored iTablet touches on how technologies are shifting in concert with modes of reading and writing -- http://www.newsweek.com/id/217683

I wanted to approach this audio essay the way I approach written essays: I make an outline, write down everything that I find in my research/come up with in my head that fits each category of my outline, and then go back and work on it- maybe refining my topic, definitely making it more concise, and checking more nitpicky details like spelling and grammar. So here's my rough rough podcast-I've got lots there, might add more, but this is my filled in outline. I definitely need to polish it- I know the volume isn't equal everywhere, and I know the transitions aren't smooth, but I'm just concerned with it making sense right now (and having something to go from!)
