Not a Double-Up

Double post below—uh oh. Looks like an Internet glitch. I thought about deleting one, but then I thought back to the conversation I had with Dr. Paul Levinson Monday at Fordham (photo above from my walk back to the train). I am exploring thesis ideas and something he mentioned was that books will always be there. Once they have been printed, they aren’t going anywhere. However now with the Internet, we can change things on the fly, delete the unwanted instantly, and hide mistakes. There leaves no room for error because someone can always make the wrong, right.

I decided to leave the double post below as a reminder that everyone is human, and we all make mistakes. I could have went back and changed history, but this time I decided to leave it. Sure it makes you think you are seeing double, or maybe questioning my ability to hit the “publish” button, but it is not a bad thing. The immediacy of the Internet has allowed us expect a certain level of perfection all the time, but nobody is perfect–that would be boring.
