Call out for Issue 7: Technology's overtaking the world - Rage Against the Machine!

Ever wonder how much time you really spend in front of the computer? Have you lost all your friends playing WOW? Or have you simply forgotten what daylight looks like? In this issue we're exploring technology and this wacky world we live in - where Facebook stalking, Twitter updates and instantaneous entertainment are right on our fingertips. Is our desire to keep in touch ultimately leading to the loss in the human touch? Are we wasting our life away in front of the computer screen? Is Google overtaking over the world? And, seriously, is everything we put online forever in the cyberspace ether, even once we press DELETE? We want to know how technology shapes the world around you. These are only suggestions … go crazy with your interpretations. There's still 3 weeks of mid-semester break to start writing, so pull out that lap top and start typin'!
