What (and here is where composition studies doesn't get it) 19th and 20th century did to create media thinking - through the telegraph, Hollywood, Burroughs, avant-garde practices, Engelbart's windows, TV, New York hip hop of the '70s, etc. is what gave rise to the kind of logic that could make word processing possible (cut and paste). The Web pushes that logic further - mostly in ways we aren't yet sure what to do with. We see some of it in weblogs (even in so-called journals), but we see it in other approaches as well.
Hmm. I smell rant. Better stop or just send this next time to the listserv.

I laughed at that. Order 66? Couldn't they come up with a better name? Shouldn't it be, like, Order #1?

I wish you could have heard Jonathan burst into quiet laughter in the theater when the emperor (Darth Sidious?) said, "Execute order 66." Priceless. Did that part make you laugh too?
