  3. "It took only twenty five years for the overhead projector to make it from the bowling alley to the classroom. I'm optimistic about academic computing; I've begun to see computers in bowling alleys." --George Landow Hypertext: The convergence of contemporary critical theory and technology, 1991

  11. Over the last decade, American higher education has created a doughnut IT infrastructure: all periphery and no center. We have invested in the machinery but not in the teachers and the scholars to make that machinery worthwhile in the classroom and in scholarship. The massive investment in networks and computers will not pay off until we fill in the hole, until we work together to create content. From “Why IT Has Not Paid Off As We Hoped (Yet)”By Edward L. Ayers and Charles M. Grisham EDUCAUSE Review, vol. 38, no. 6 (November/December 2003): 40–51.
