Needless to say, these examples are just the chip of the silicon-berg. As the Chair for the "Computer Cultures and Virtual Reality" panel(s) I'm looking for anything you want to talk about concerning ANY aspect of the growing computer culture(s) and virtual realities we are now experiencing. I truly believe we are at the edge of *something* With the new Web Boxes due out in December (Really, I saw it on TV and checked the URL they gave--another boundary falls.), more people will be accessing the Internet (at least the Web).
So, whether you think we are in a Howard Rheingoldian Heaven or Clifford Stoll's Hell, I'd like to hear what you have to say. I'm more than willing to talk out ideas that you are interested in if you're not sure they "fit" into the conference (they probably do).
**Here's the info**: Please send an abstract (200-300 words) to me by July 1, 1996. Include your name, affiliation, complete address, phone number, and e-mail. Let me know if you need any AV materials as well.
I'd prefer you send your abstract via e-mail to me at alan@bgnet.bgsu.edu, but if you want to use snail mail, I've posted my address below.
I look forward to hearing from you.
