presented at the Library of Congress, June 23rd 2008. This was tons of fun to present. I decided to forgo the PowerPoint and instead worked with students to prepare over 40 minutes of video for the 55 minute presentation. This is the result.more info: http://mediatedcultures.net0:0...

Wow That was awesome.I do think an anthropological point can be made regarding people like myself who do not own a video camera of any kind, and are meerly watchers and 'favorite'ers, forced to reply only in the 'text comments' box... A purer YouTube audience?Just my thoughts :)
