Ede & Lunsford Questions

1) This piece cites a 1985 article that talks about the future of 'groupware' - ie, networked computers. But ARPANET had existed long before this... what do you make of the discrepancy between the collaborative technology existing and actually being readily available, or even seeming feasible, for common usage, and what this implies for authorship?
2) Do you think media have become democratized, as the snippets suggest, or do you agree with Foucault?
3) We are doing one of these collaborative group projects using new media. Do you have any of the same concerns, or do you think we have grown more used to it over the years? What does this imply about using newer media?
