quoteMost of us can still remember the sounds of drills grinding and rattling through cinderblock walls when crews first installed Ethernet cables in faculty office buildings.

Did that racket signal the first breaching of what Gerald Graff has called the "systematic non-relation" among disciplines, which keeps the university from realizing its social and intellectual mission, or were we hearing only stop-gap dental work near the end of the century to keep the old university from losing its teeth altogether?"

from "Technologizing the Conflicts: Graff and the Web" in Pedagogy. More on my scholarship.

Far Reading
Imagine you could track and compare key words appearing in tens of thousands of books across history.
Google Ngram Viewer allows you to choose your own search terms, book collections, and time periods--such as this comparison of "Atlantis" and "El Dorado" in books written in English between 1800 and 2000.
