Political theorist Langdon Winner, author of "Autonomous Technology", a

thought," will be featured as a guest lecturer at The Evergreen State
College in Olympia on Wednesday, May 9, 6:30-7:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall 3.

        Strike it RICH               Don't be left out!!

Praised by The Wall Street Journal as "The leading academic on the
politics of technology", Dr. Winner will be presenting a performance
piece, "Introducing the Automatic Professor Machine", which questions
the application of information technology and marketing lingo to
education. The presentation will provoke an important discussion of the
relationship between power and technology, and how digital technology
is changing the concept of education itself.
