Battlelines: Is Academia at War with Technology

This is by far the best presentation I’ve viewed in l don’t know how long. The use of pop-culture references to Lego and Monty Python and the Holy Grail, as well as historical accounts of a real battle is incredibly effective in articulating the author’s argument and contrast between the inclusive, people-driven new media landscape and the heirarchical, authority conscious realm of academia.

97 slides is normally an unbearable amount to get through, but the multi-dimensional, highly visual nature of the content and how incredibly relevant and hysterical it’s presented makes this a brilliant presentation.
