I found this slightly funny...

After reading the 2nd chapter in "On the Internet,"I flipped through the book, couriously looking at the next chapters and the conclusion. In the back, as in most books, there was an order form that contained other books that were available for sale from the publisher. Now what I found funny was the fact that our book, "On The Internet," is available as an e-book. What? Doesnt this contradict what Dreyfus is talking about in his book? Dreyfus talks about the embodiement factor of teaching and learning, this is excatly the same. At least in my experience there is something different about holding a book in your hand, reading it, seeing the words on paper, and seeing yourself progress farther and farther through the book by watching the bookmark get closer and closer to the back cover. This is also more proof of the technological imparative that we discussed last class. And its not so much that imparative that is driving it as it is the monetary aspect. This is just another way for the publishing company to make more money off one item. Money is the main reason much of the technology we see today is developed, the more you develop the more money you make.
