Peter Diamandis: "Instant Gratification" --pp.214-215
Chris DiBona: "Ephemera and Back Again" --pp. 224-227
"I feel little practical need anymore to commit my long-term memory to endeavors I formerly spent days, weeks, months, and years on" (224). --DiBona
Peter Diamandis writes about instant gratification and the internet. DiBona takes this idea and suggests that it is for our benefit, because we can now focus our energies on what matters most to us. We reference the quizzes we had you take here and wanted to share both information for Diamandis and DiBona together. I wanted to play around with adding texts to screencasts and put UDL practices into play. My goal was to have subtitles for this one and it proved to be not as easy as I thought it would be but not difficult either. A work in progress!

Take a moment to think about...
What are your vices when it comes to instant gratification?
In terms of technology based instant gratification, where are the fine lines and boundaries, especially in education?
What are we losing by being so "plugged in"?
