In this article by Steven Harnad he writes how there has been three revolutions for man kind. the first revolution is language which developed hundred of thousands of years ago. This allowed us to explain and the second revolution was writing. writing made it possible to preserver the language that had describe the world we live in. Then the Third revolution was the Printing press. this allowed text to be handed out more quickly then writing it down. this revolution allowed everyone to hear what someone had to say instead of just a few people. The fourth revolution that he talks about but has not happened in his time is called Psycoloquy. Which is electronic journal. it was like scholarly cyber writing. This project would allow users to post comments and have feedback from each other within hours. this would all be possible by the Net. Psycoloquy would be international and alvailable everywhere around the world. this idea is like how we have blogs to comment each other and to give each other feedback on this if we post that we need help.

Well everyone basically summarized the first part of the article and then they gave comments on the second part, the Psycoloquy. The summarization was good, it was concise and to the point. I agree with you on the point that skywriting “is like how we have blogs to comment each other and to give each other feedback on this if we post that we need help." Through skywriting, the scholars are able to revise and inform the people about their writing/ideas.
