Invitation to Session 5

The next session of the Seminar is Friday 28 Nov, 6pm, Classroom 3. Please come by even if you have not attended previous sessions.

As noted, a theme of the Seminar to date is:

Social media, also known as online social networking -- Facebook / Myspace / Orkut -- MEETS Second Life (avatars in virtual meeting places) MEETS Youtube (video recordings) MEETS Skype / etc (videoconferencing) -- with the option emerging of doing all this on mobile communication devices.

We have also begun considering chatbots (virtual assistants imbued with artificial intelligence).

But what might these technological possibilities have to do with the quest and journey of the hero and heroine, as discussed in Joseph Campbell's book, _Hero with a Thousand Faces_ ?

Integrating these two realms of thought seems to be our next mission.  We will be especially be discussing pages 50-60 of _Hero_ this coming Friday.
