back;          Note about: e-Research-in-Progress
  
Research for this project involves the internet The internet holds society in one big room.  The pornography, politics, research, propaganda, entertainment and education, is all available, in one big room...the internet. 

Speech is free, really free on the internet. 
People can say what they like and do say what they like.
This all happens with the bonus of relative anonymity, 
making regular people into bullies. 

A typical news group conversation goes something like this:

                            "You're an idiot." 
                            "No you're an idiot." 
                            "No you're an idiot."

Flash notes for
Richard Condie

                     And so on.  
                     Of course you can replace "idiot" with any swear word that you can think of.
                     In English that means any body part combined with any bodily function.

                     The research is of a technical nature, basically to find out what has already been done.  

                     The results  of the research will be a conclusion as to what works,  what doesn't work,
                     what is appreciated, and what is not appreciated,  by parents, children, teachers and students.
                      But to get to the results we will have to wade through the internet.

                     For example there is one flash animation game found on the internet that consists of a Santa Clause
                     getting drunk on a roof of a house.  Although the rude content, involves farting, burping, and getting
                     drunk it demonstrates an uncanny variable control function that makes the game controls harder and
                     harder to operate as the game progresses.  This function is unique in the game world to my knowledge
                     it may have an educational use but it is attached to a rude cartoon.  Sober Santa.

                     The George Bush Speech Writing game demonstrates interactive sentence construction.  With adaptation,
                     this game structure could be a great reading/writing/performing game.  George Bush Speech Writing.

                     Question:  If you could draw and submit a small square of art, along with thousands of of other people,
                     what would it look like?.
                    
                     Answer: Public washroom wall art.  See for your self :  Graffiti
                       
                      If children had a free for all drawing page would it look any different?                       
                      At this stage of research we are observing and sharing our e research-in-progress.  
                     There are some wonderfully inspiring games and animation too like levers.swf from
                      http://www.vectorpark.com/ and http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/.
