About Steve

ACADEMIA ∙ BLUESKY ∙ KEWL.NEWS ∙ LINKEDIN ∙ MASTODON ∙ ORCID ∙ RESEARCHGATE
Former Ivy League professor. I taught at Dartmouth College, Johns Hopkins, UC Davis, others. On faculty at Savannah State University and University of Maryland Global Campus. I published pioneering Internet addiction research in 1996, and I research and write about Internet phenomena and emerging technologies still. My media dependency work is ongoing, along with my research on AI agency, and technoethics tied to moving the Internet appliance into the human body. I’m a veteran newsman. Email me here.

Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. Rev 3:8b ESV
