Live from the Thesis Trenches

Ah, I amuse myself:

Wilson and Heeks further their argument by saying that the reason that the traditional media do not get as much attention as ICT [Information and Communications Technologies] does is that “they are just not ‘sexy’ enough to capture decision-makers attention.” Again, this line of thinking is not substantiated at all — the authors did not provide a definition of the term, “sexy.”If by “sexy,” the authors mean that ICT has a certain appeal that these traditional media do not, then they are absolutely right. ICT represents a fundamental change in the way that information is disseminated.
