sidetrack: the actual ratio is far closer to everything else in life - the insatiable novelty drive in the humanities is an engine of plenty of klunker ideas. so on one hand you get conferences on second life from non techical perspectives, but on the other hand, you get a lot of minutae that's not necessarily very useful for very long.
having just really begun wading into the deep of literature on online communities, i can say there's a lot of bad to be had.
a lot.

| one thing that i picked up somewhere along the academic line (you should probably stop reading now), which is undoubtedly not always "true" regarding modernism and postmodernism, is that there seems to be a break between the two ideologies views (or lack thereof) on the existence of god; where modernism concerns itself at times with the question of the existence of a god (and our relation to it), postmodernism generally assumes that it doesn't matter either way, and is more concerned with pure questions of existence (reality vs. irreality, subjectivness of "truth"--which is one of the reasons it is difficult to define). |
