My conception of technology is broader than the traditional view that often posits it merely as a tool-- a machine. More importantly, I view technology as a matter of literacy. Your questions about the changing nature of text itself in the blogging environment suggest to me the broader type of understanding of technology that I was trying to describe above. Is that right?

Indeed, the expansion of webspaces has really changed the face of intellectual property law. I love the web because of its immediacy, but I certainly understand the concerns about ownership and the issues with crediting your inspirations and jumping off sources. I look forward to hearing more of your ideas, and reading this site as you develop your personal philosophies. Ed- I find your questions about the nature of “text” really thought-provoking.
