It's a phenomenon which seems to have come from nowhere, but in fact computer-based social networks have been around for decades. In this three-part series the BBC's technology correspondent Rory Cellan Jones traces the hidden story of social networking, from the early days of computing and the 60s counterculture through to the businesses worth billions today. From their roots in utopian experiments in California, online social networks spread around the world. In the past few years companies such as Facebook and Twitter have captivated millions of users. But what will be the next big thing in social networking, and how is it changing our lives? This series was originally broadcast in three weekly parts from 26 January 2011.

Think You Know ‘How To Write A Sentence’? : NPR
Most people know a good sentence when they read one, but New York Times columnist Stanley Fish says most of us don't really know how to write them ourselves. His new book, How To Write A Sentence: And How To Read One, is part ode, part how-to guide to the art of the well-constructed sentence.

Tools Never Die. Waddaya Mean, Never? : Krulwich Wonders… : NPR
Krulwich makes a bet he can find tools that have gone extinct but it turns out old technology doesn't disappear like you'd think. Tools from centuries ago are still being made and used, by more people than you'd think.
Kevin Kelly should know better, but boldly, brassily, (and totally incorrectly, I'm sure), he said this on NPR:
"I say there is no species of technology that have ever gone globally extinct on this planet."
