Students

A recent (August) Educause paper is a short item from Michael Wesch, who produced the popular youtube video, the machine is us/ing us. In the paper he mentions a survey of his students, who (averaging out their responses) said
"I'll read 8 books this semester
2,300 web pages
and 1,281 Facebook Profiles."

There is also the digital ethnography blog at http://www.mediatedcultures.net/ksudigg/ which features videos by his students.
