‣A networked self/society?
“Through the computer, the heralds say, we will make education better, religion better, politics better, our minds better - best of all, ourselves better. This is, of course, nonsense, and only the young or the ignorant or the foolish could believe it.”
“True, it is o
nly a machine
but a
machine design
ed to manipula
te and
generate infor
mation. That i
s what
computers do,
and therefore
they
have an agenda
and an unmist
akable
message.”
Neil Postman, 1990
‣A critical perspective...
“We believe because there is no reason not to believe. No social, political, historical, metaphysical, logical or spiritual reason. We live in a world that, for the most part, makes no sense to us. Not even technical sense.” - Postman
Neil Postman, 1990
‣A critical perspective...
“The point is that, in a world without spiritual or intellectual order, nothing is unbelievable; nothing is predictable, and therefore, nothing comes as a particular surprise.” - Postman
Winners and losers?
‣Weak ties and strong ties
“If the former, social theories suggest that we may be moving to a world where people have greater access to ideas, information, and opportunists, due to the wider range of people with whom they are in contact, but also to a world where social support is weaker and people’s sense of responsibility for each other is diminished.”
“The network’s ability to connect us with more and
more people may be infinite, but our attention is
not. Are these large numbers of weaker ties
replacing or supplementing stronger ties? Are we
replacing stronger ties with a greater number of
weaker ties?”
Judith Diath, 2004
‣“Shallow thinkers”
“It is clear that users are not reading online in the traditional sense; indeed there are signs that new forms of “reading” are emerging as users “power browse” horizontally through titles, contents pages and abstracts going for quick wins. It almost seems that they go online to avoid reading in the traditional sense.”
“Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip
along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski.”
Nicholas Carr, 2008
“We are not only what we read, we are how we read.”
We tend to become “mere decoders of information.”
Maryanne Wolf, 2007
