Something at the New York Times loves reports about digital print. I don’t have much to say regarding any of these links except that Liu’s remark that we need a whole new guiding metaphor for describing engagement with networked digital media seems to me a solution looking for a problem. I can’t understand what such a guiding metaphor would do except restrict innovation by measuring it against an inexact metaphor whose imprecision would render it useless as a guide.
