MIDI stands for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface." MIDI is a system that allows electronic musical instruments to send and receive digital information. Instead of thinking of music and sound in terms of waves, think of it in terms of digital parameter: pitch, velocity, volume, vibrato, panning, sustain pedal.

I just finished reading The Information Diet by Clay A. Johnson. This is a rather interesting book that I happily recommend to my fellow education majors. The books makes comparison to the information we're exposed to and the information we exposed ourselves to as junk food.

Linsay's post got me thinking. She says that technology has enhanced her ability to discern whether or not information on the internet is true or false. I wondered aloud, "How does she know?"
