Is the Web Different?
I googled the core core question of the class, “Is the Web Different?” The first, second, and sixth results seem to indicate that this guy may have an opinion on the topic.
Since Professor Weinberger tends to be reluctant to urge us to read his works, I will do the urging for him. His essay can be found here. Enjoy!

You just have to love anything that uses the word shibboleth. In the original sense of course.

Curiosly, the contrary question “is the web the same?” yields very little in terms of general argument, at least among the first group of results. The hits tend to focus on the distinction between the Internet and the World Wide Web or the differences between Web 2.0 and its predecessor.

I hereby disavow whatever I said in that article. I was jet-lagged, recovering from dental surgery, or had my system hacked. I can’t remember which.
