Lectura electrónica: el lado oscuro

Los peligros de la tecnología digital aplicada a la lectura.

The Future of Reading (A Play in Six Acts)

School policy was that any interference with their means of
monitoring students’ computer use was grounds for disciplinary
action. It didn’t matter whether you did anything harmful —
the offense was making it hard for the administrators to check on you.
They assumed this meant you were doing something else forbidden, and
they did not need to know what it was.


Students were not usually expelled for this — not directly.
Instead they were banned from the school computer systems, and would
inevitably fail all their classes.
