If I had a dime for every time I argued about this with my high school art friends...It's amazing how easily everyone's forgotten that there was a time when photography was not considered an art AT ALL.
In other news, I agree that good UI and idiot-proof accessibility are absolutley necessary. Just ask anyone who's spent an hour on the phone with their mother trying to tell her how to subscribe to a blog.

Ha...I remember this in undergrad all too well.
Just interested in what your current thoughts are on photography/new media as art given your new interests/focus/etc.? It seems that perhaps you are arguing that it is irrelevant once it is readily available to the masses. That the social and informational context becomes more important.
Oh and emails are no longer acceptable forms of conversation...call me!
