In addition to weekly commentary, Y/NOTES offers an opportunity to learn and gain an academic-level understanding of the structures and ideas behind some of the defining questions of our time. Currently, these two series are available:
Foundations of the Information Revolution is a 7-part series adapted from a module I teach in an introductory academic course. The series analyzes the origins of the Information Revolution, where it veered off track, and what its failure means for humanity’s future. This is the first part:
-
Silicon Dawn
Part 1/7: A bird’s-eye view of the Information Revolution, the third great technological revolution in human history.
Virtual Reality in Action is a 3-part series that draws on my Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment and Technology Law article Virtual Reality Exceptionalism. The series explores the deep cultural and psychological roots of VR technology and its unique potential. This is the first part:
-
VR Abides
Part 1/3: VR is not dead. It is rooted in ancient ideas, psychology, and culture. These form strong social foundations for the technology.
