3. Aaron Ford-Wright recently published an article where Dr. Gilman reveals concerns about youths and texting. Dr. Gilman thinks that texting can easily take too much space in a youth’s everyday life, and interfere with other social interactions and participation in activities. Teens can easily be distracted from being present to what’s happening around them, and should try to moderate their usage of texting.

4. Extract taken from the 1982 Blade Runner Draft Script:

HOLDEN

Describe in single words. Only the good things that come into your mind.

About your mother.
LEON
My...
Leon looks shocked, surprised. But the needles in the computer barely move. Holden goes for the inside of his coat. But big Leon is faster. His laser burns a hole the size of a nickel through Holden's stomach. Unlike a bullet, a laser causes no impact. It goes through Holden's shoulder and comes out of his back, clean as a whistle. Like a rag doll he falls back into the seat. Big slow Leon is already walking away, but he stops, turns, and with a little smile of satisfaction fires through the back of the seat.

As Leon walks out of the room the Voight-Kampff begins to blink, faint but steady.

5. Soukup says that Ong saw the main paradox of the 20th century communication being that human communication works, not only in the sense of its success but in the sense of its expending energy.
