Title: Interview with Howard Rheingold

In this lively conversation, Rheingold discusses topics ranging from
text-messaging to journalism, and interdisciplinary scholarship to
science fiction. His comments on academia offer yet another perspective on the debate we had on the gnovis blog earlier this year, in these two posts: “The Hermetic Reality of "Higher Learning” and “Are Bloggers the new Public Intellectuals?”.

Professor Rheingold, author of Smart Mobs, lectures at Stanford and Berkley and is one of the world’s foremost authorities on the social implications of technology. He visited Georgetown University earlier this week to speak to the CCT program’s introductory class for new students.
