 update a beacon with their
current whereabouts, etc. but those are societal things which have basically
nothing to do with the technology. Paper and ink are just as tainted with
advertising, corporate homogenisation, familial pings, etc.

How does handing in an essay on paper 'fight the power'? Paper is just as
corrupted as the Web. Anecdote: a couple of years ago, before a long coach
journey, I decided to buy a pen and paper so I could pass the time writing,
drawing, mathematical playing, etc. In the centre of a large city (Birmingham,
UK) it took me about half an hour to find anywhere which sold blank paper
rather than pre-printed magazines/newspapers/books/etc. (I eventually found
some in Poundland; an underrated shop IMHO). I nearly missed the coach.

Rejecting technologies, like email, is self-flagellation. Whether a teacher
can or can't force a student to have an email address is irrelevant; all
that's needed is to SMTP the server with a syntactically-valid FROM address,
like "thisisnotarealaddress@example.com". There is no requirement for that
address to even resolve, let alone for it to accept mail and make it available
to you. So what if you get marked as spam, that's always a hazard even from
established providers.

Likewise, if someone wants to make something available _to_ you via email,
there's nothing stopping the use of a one-time-only address, e.g.
mailinator.com or something similar with a password, that disappears after 24
hours.

To refuse email in such a way is like refusing to write English in left-to-
right order; or using a fountain pen full of invisible ink: it's petty and
silly, which is fine if that's your intention, but as a serious statement it
achieves nothing.

In contrast, refusing control by "The Corporation" is definitely a Good Thing
(TM). It's why I've never used Facebook, Bebo, or any of those other register-
to-view silos and never will. It's why I deleted my Twitter account after
their chilling meeting with the UK government after the 2011 riots. It's why I
host my own blog, Git repos and
update a beacon with their 
 current whereabouts, etc. but those are societal things which have basically 
 nothing to cause with the engineering. Paper and ink are just equally tainted with 
 ad, corporate homogenisation, familial ping, etc. 

 How does hand in an essay on paper' contend the power'? Paper is barely as 
 corrupted as the Web. Anecdote: a couple of class ago, before a long coach 
 journey, I decided to buy a pen and composition so I could pass the time writing, 
 drawing, numerical playing, etc. In the centre of a bombastic city (Birmingham, 
 UK) it took me approximately half an hour to find anywhere which deal blank paper 
 rather than pre - printed magazines / newspaper / books / etc. (I eventually found 
 some in Poundland; an underrated shop IMHO). I nearly missed the coach. 

 Rejecting technologies, like email, is self - flagellation. Whether a teacher 
 can or can't force a student to have an email address is irrelevant; all 
 that's needed is to SMTP the waiter with a syntactically - valid FROM savoir-faire, 
 like " thisisnotarealaddress@example.com ". There is no requirement for that 
 address to even purpose, let alone for it to accept mail and do it available 
 to you. So what if you get marked as spam, that's always a hazard even from 
 build providers. 

 Likewise, if someone wants to make something available _ to _ you via email, 
 there's nothing stopping the consumption of a one - time - only address, e.g. 
 mailinator.com or something exchangeable with a password, that disappears after 24 
 hour. 

 To refuse email in such a way is like refusing to write English in leftover - to- 
 right order; or using a fountain pen full of invisible ink: it's petty and 
 silly, which is all right if that's your intention, but as a serious statement it 
 achieves nothing. 

 In contrast, refuse control by " The Corporation " is decidedly a Good Thing 
 (TM). It's why I've never used Facebook, Bebo, or any of those other register-

 their chilling meeting with the UK politics after the 2011 riots. It's why I
