Neil Postman On-Line!

There is a solid web page dedicated to the thought of Neil Postman (d. 2003), educational philosopher and social critic. You can find links to on-line articles, a bibliography, and a few other items. Readers of The Constructive Curmudgeon will note that I often mention his work as deeply insightful in most ways. He was also a superb writer. I commend his work to you. Few authors have more wisely commented on the nature of technology. And, no, Postman never used a computer!

Great page -- what a treasure trove! Postman's graduation speech is a gem, simply priceless. I wonder why I've never heard anything like it ...
