iBavli Out-takes

The good folks at JRB have graciously allowed Shai and me to post some of the material (it was about half, maybe a bit more) that did not make the final published version. The excerpt he posted contains an extended musing on the arrival of digitization and media saturation as the twin axes of the information age, and what they might mean for Talmud study and authority.
Enjoy!

Shai and I look at what the digitization of the Talmud means, specifically reviewing ArtScroll's new Talmud app, at Jewish Review of Books. There was a lot of material that did not end up in the review, because this topic is extremely broad. Perhaps there will be occasion to expand on it in the future.
