---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am indebted to Marc Pembroke, and others who contacted me privately off
the list, for comments about the ethics of computer use. I am indebted to
Paul Pavlik for comments about cross cultural concerns of computer use. I
am especially indebted to Catherine Burke and Mary Harrsch for drawing my
attention to access as not only an ethical, gender, or even economic issue,
but access is also an emotional issue in domestic life. The challenge to
this list, dedicated as it is to educational technology in society, is to
find inclusive language for communication and practical accommodation to
the dreams and visions of people in the midst of (what appears to be)
technological reality. That's not an easy task. Just wanted to say thanks.
