![Thomas Friedman on Mashups,
Globalization and Education
Let’s say you work for CNN as a computer
specialist. It’s very likely you will be asked to
integrate different kinds of content with
different kinds of technology platforms. If
schools can actually produce people who are
good synthesizers, they’re going to be more
effective and innovative workers...[Kids] get
mash-ups. They do it naturally. And today,
he who mashes best will mash most and be
wealthiest…

She has dragged her wardrobe to the center of the bedroom. It hangs open with flowery dresses thrown across it. As the drinking. As the drinking and packing went on, a mood of hysterical exhilaration came over her and she has decked herself out in a somewhat soiled and crumpled white satin evening gown and a pair of scuffed silver slippers with brilliants set in their heels. Now she is placing rhinestone tiara on her head before the mirror of the dressing table and murmuring excitedly as if to a group of spetral admirers.

Hamlet Act 3,Scene 2 Thriller it's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart Tis now the very witching time of night, You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes Contagion to this world: now could I drink hot blood, You're paralyzed And do such bitter business as the day Would quake to look on. Soft! now to my mother. 'Cause this is thriller, thriller night O heart, lose not thy nature; let not ever And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike The soul of Nero enter this firm bosom: You know it's thriller, thriller night Let me be cruel, not unnatural: You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight I will speak daggers to her, but use none; My tongue and soul in this be hypocrites; You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run How in my words soever she be shent, You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun To give them seals never, my soul, consent!

Editor's Notes
- #14 That’s been the credo of performance-based approaches…creation by non-experts using material at hand and Shakespeare’s words.
- #15 Insert Enter Ghost. Questionable shape video
- #17 This is an extension of DIY technology and has been cited as a major cultural shift brought about by digital technologies.
- #21 Who Owns Shakespeare…technology helps give Shakespeare back to the people. Folk.
- #23 The Grey album was named the best album of 2004 by Entertainment Weekly . The Village Voice 's annual Pazz and Jop critics poll ranked the album 10th for 2004. [3]
- #24 http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=AF5FE856762CBA8C Use one or two to focus on remix
- #37 Question—how can we do justice to these technologies and to Shakespeare vis a vis kids?
- #51 Examples of audio and of digital stories. Bring in ideas of connotation and denotation. Have two soliloquy things from Youtube.
- #57 Connotation and denotation; representational and abstract, ways of going deep into those long soliloquies and speeches.
