There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

“Writing technologies do not by themselves appear to compel us to write or think in one way or another…at the same time, these technologies do have some influence on our writing and thinking,” wrote Robert Rosenberger, assistant professor in the School of Public Policy. “In the case of voice-to-text technologies, however, all writing becomes a kind of rehearsal for verbal interaction.” Source: The Atlantic - August 1, 2012
