48. danah boyd on her digital
presence
“There is some crappy stuff concerning me
on the Internet— both stuff that I’ve
produced and stuff that’s been written
about me by other people. […] My way of
coping with persistence is to create a living
presence, frame my own story in an ongoing
way, and creating a digital self that is
constantly evolving not to escape but to
mature”
—danah boyd (From Rheingold, Howard; Weeks, Anthony (2012-02-24).

56. Jamin Wells
“Interactive sessions and
site visits to several
cultural institutions
hammered home the
seemingly obvious point
that Web 2.0 is a
central, arguably “the”
way to share academic
research with a broader
audience.”

62. The Curse of Knowledge
“Once we know something, we find it
hard to imagine what it was like not
to know. Our knowledge has
‘cursed’ us. And it becomes difficult
for us to share our knowledge with
others, because we can’t readily re-
create our listeners’ state of mind.”
Heath & Heath, Made to Stick, p. 20.

71. “The dispersion of the statue
guarantees the persistence of its
many divergent versions, stored on
hard drives and printed out
anywhere, at any time. How might
we characterize these copies? Will
the sculpture of King Uthal be
brought back to life? Perhaps, in
the same way that a meme is
alive.”
-Paul Soulellis, The Distributed Monument
