Notes for my talk at Midwest Faculty Seminar
The University of Chicago 1-3 March 2001

1. Attitude toward this study:

  A. Teleological, rather than ontological;

  B. Think long-term, act now;

  C. Asking the right questions is more critical than answers.

2. My main concern: How does cyberspace affect the *structure* of our
	communication?

  A. "Structure" is characterized by the operations that can be
	performed on messages.

  B. Appearance is important, but not central.

  C. Data structure (CJTCS).

  D. Interaction structure (teaching).

  E. Empower the reader!

3. Scholarly Publishing.

  A. Conventional content, for now.

  B. Format: structural rather than page-oriented.

     * WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) or WYSIAYG
       (What You See Is All You've Got)?

     * Which format automatically produces others?
