Maybe only the most complicated of all stories are allowed to be author-omniscient. "I don't understand what you mean by omniscient," says one of my students. All-knowing, I say. "But who's all knowing?" someone points out. Exactly, I move on.
Some students click the links on their screens. (Some of them read the information, some of them look at the pictures, some of them know how to scan like I do, some of them will know more than I do very soon).
Some of them read Yahoo! news out loud everyday; I guess that's better than nothing.
I'll teach better as quickly as possible. But if we're in the throes of exponential change, I will always be behind.
I will always know nothing, but Internet, you are the closest I get to omniscient.
