About 'spheres'! I'm just touchy about the accusation of obscurantism. Mentioning the FCC change would have been key, and agreed regarding the importance of keeping faculty on their toes--in which case I hope you commented directly on the article if you could. And as a side note, since I'm a Prof, lots of institutions still use chalkboards--the private and elite ones mostly. It's the state schools that got the dumb white boards and smart boards (and all the throwaway stuff) that entails.
