Peter Schilling:
"Epistemology, of course, has a long history arching from superstition toward the "social frameworks of knowledge" (Gurvitch). And technology has always been present as an essential component of how we think and what we teach. When the technology changes, as it is now, its role becomes all the more evident. For today's thinkers, a.k.a. students, knowledge includes del.icio.us and other forms of immediate and readily available folkonomy. Colleges continue to push writing as the skill students must have to be articulate thinkers. Yet they risk stagnation in an epistemological eddy if they don't also appreciate digital video production, database programming, or even the underlying functionality of MediaWiki, as necessary for developing the cognitive abilities to create and share knowledge.
