Please read George Gilder's Life After Television, especially his Prologue and Afterword, and spend extra time on Chapter 6, "Why Newspapers Will Prevail."As you read, consider these questions: How accurate were Gilder's predictions? Does that matter in evaluating his work? How does his framework match up with those of Benjamin, Adorno & Horkheimer, and McLuhan? What's the most compelling aspect of his vision? The least?
Your responses are due by Tuesday, November 5, by 6pm ET. They should be posted to the blog no later than that time.
Thanks,
Nick
