Hello Everyone,
For those of you attending the Monday seminar I would like you to read the following two articles which you can find at the following internet addresses:
'Short Cuts' by Jenny Diski
http://www.lrb.co.uk/v29/n20/jenny-diski/short-cuts
'The Global Id' by John Lanchester
http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n02/john-lanchester/the-global-id
These articles will be used as the basis for a discussion of the implications of universal internet use and as a means of studying the specialist vocabulary relating to this technical realm so please look at them carefully and note down any queries you have concerning both the general content and the specific meanings of difficult words and phrases.
I would also like people to look at the article on Wikipedia that Regina provided a link to in her last post in the same way (link provided again below).

Good reading! I hope you enjoy the material...
