Frozen Blueberry Flowers: Communicative Action Theory, LibriVox.Org, OLPC Mission, Somethings Delicious

Communicative Action Theory: This is what makes internet multimedia unique - hypermedia, integration of media elements, immersion (e.g. with digital hoods and gloves), interactivity, and new forms of narrativity (Packer and Jordan)

I hope World University & School will be the software 'circulatory' system vis-a-vis One Laptop per Child's mission:

To create educational opportunities for the world's poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning.
—OLPC Mission Statement


It's an education project, not a laptop project.
—Nicholas Negroponte
