Notes de l'éditeur
- Talk of revolution is in the air – shift from manufacturing to the flow of information – ‘the information society’, the network society (Castells0. A revolution or remaking of the world caused by the Internet. The danger is that we follow a simple idea that it is technology that changes things, not us, the people bring technologies into the existing everyday world, and that change is not radical, but evolving as part of the continuities of history and the past. For instance Nicholas Negroponte argues that the information revolution is so forceful that there is no stopping the shift to ‘being digital’. But technology is nothing without people – and people make technology in social contexts. There have been important changes, but in many ways life continues as it has always done, but perhaps in new ways. New media technologies are constantly brought into the routines and traditions of everyday life. The way that we deploy technology is part of the way that society is and would like to be – technology is real, fantastic and virtual (symbolic and full of meaning beyond actuality of events). How do you bring new media technologies such as the web and mobile phones into your life – as a revolutionary change of life or as part of the ongoing routines of daily life?
