For Thursday, March 2

Due: Read Chapter 6 of Understanding and “The Binge Breaker” (Read the article or listen to the audio version, both accessible through this link.)

Reading/writing prompt: How do you manage your attention? How does your technology use interfere or support you in managing how and where you focus your attention? How do your experiences and concerns compare with those represented in the readings for today?

Just for fun: Also, in line with the documentary about typography and graphic design we’ve been watching, here is a related article about the snafu at the Oscars this weekend. It all comes down to poor design and ineffective typography! https://medium.com/@benjaminbannister/why-typography-matters-especially-at-the-oscars-f7b00e202f22#.jyd1fn8qq
