The bloggerati and twitterati are making an indelible mark on our culture, saturating the discourse and usurping established codes of behavior and communication. At the same time, they threaten to provoke a huge upheaval in mainstream media and the culture of everyday life. Is the revolution at hand or are still-greater changes on the horizon?
Mary Cross is emerita professor of English at Fairleigh Dickinson University, Madison, NJ, where she was chairman of the English Department.
