It's Wednesday afternoon, and the back wall of the computer lab is coming to life. At first just an expanse of gray plastic, the wall flickers with a warm light, then goes dark except for a smallish white square on the lower left side. Ben Shedd, senior visiting scholar in the Computer Science Department, places a tape measure diagonally across the square. Displayed on the vast background, the square seems comically small. The question touches on social, cultural, political, moral and biological concerns.
