Richard Miller; This Is How We Dream

Miler believes that we as human beings and teachers are living and experiencing first hand the greatest change in communication in the history of language. He says that some of this has to do with our "workspace". as opposed to the former paper and pen, we now use a laptop that can be taken basically anywhere you want to take it.Another change that has occurred is the storage and sharing.of documents. Anything can be saved forever on your computer or published to a website. Also, the collaboration of documents can be expressed in far many more ways, such as picture video, and word processing. This information is easier and more accessible for and to all. Also, where we work was addressed as being a big change in communication. Information can change instantly changing many people's ideas and feelings toward any certain subject. Miller believes that this venue will continue to evolve. He foresees a time when people will compose using a new composition technique using the web itself. This is a cutting edge idea that i don't really understand, and either does he. It has not been fully created yet. Richard Miller is proposing that schools invest in the research of what he believes will overcome today's already technologically based society. My understanding of how this concept will work and be available is sort of cloudy, but from my knowledge it is still a work in progress. Miller's idea, from just a summation of it, sounds like a way to reform the way individuals look at and comprehend information entirely. Information is already sent and consumed at the highest rate available, but this would completely blow that out of the water.
