On the issue of the whole TV is crap notion, I think that we as a society are being overloaded with information. To me this is actually making us less intelligent. We are so dependent on various technological advancements and sometimes forget to use our brains. It's sort of like my experience with the GPS unit. I wasn't too familiar with the Tampa area, and relied on the GPS for directions. After returning it however, I felt familiar with the places around me. I took this one class title Social and Behavioral Health Applied to Science. Students were required to participate in substantial posts and threads. Each week the teacher would give us a grade for our participation. I can't explain the reason for 50 percent of posts having no replies. Maybe receiving weekly feedback from each participant will help increase quality participation. I liked what Fred talked about on Friday- Create a concept map, how does it relate to you? What is complexity all about? How do we act or understand our world? I think we should each take on a few articles recommended by Allison and talk about what they mean at the seminar. Which articles stood out to most people? I liked Mike Agar's article talking about nonlinearity.
