lt is possible to argue that Davidson sees the new technology-like the f r ee iPods gifted to the students at Duke-as a means to an end rather than an end in itself. What end(s) does she want students to pursue? What, in other words, are her political or cultural objectives? Based on the selection, would you say that Davidson wants to nudge us toward a more egalitarian way of life? What assumptions does she appear to make about ordinary people? Does she see creativity as exceptionaP How about intelligence? Does she view failure as socially produced-chat is, as forced upon learners by the educational system itself?
