Re: Definition of Xanadu (fwd)

Hi Katherine--

(Have you gone to a different last name?  Or did I just not know?)

Anyhow, I THINK what I mean is media.  Managing "content" is the
 Negroponte line-- analyzing the contents, knowing what they
 contain, being able to spew them back out in English or Swahili.
 To me, "media" just means the text, the frames, the audio samples,
 the brushstrokes.

However, I need to be alert to other interpretations, so if you
 have any, plz lemme know.


Best, Ted (and Marlene)
