Why Youth Heart MySpace - 0 views

  •  
    Cool article about social networking, including why some adults worry about it. Understandable and interesting. Identity Production in a Networked Culture: Adults often worry about the amount of time that youth spend online, arguing that the digital does not replace the physical. Most teens would agree. It is not the technology that encourages youth to spend time online - it's the lack of mobility and access to youth space where they can hang out uninterrupted.

INTERACTIVE AUDIENCES? THE 'COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE' OF MEDIA FANS - 0 views

  • Levy sees contemporary society as caught in a transitional moment, whose outcome is still unknown, but which has enormous potentials for transforming existing structures of knowledge and power.
    • Susan Waterworth
       
      Can you imagine how this transformation might take place, or what it might end up looking like?
  • Levy explores how the 'deterritorialization' of knowledge, brought about by the ability of the net and the web to facilitate rapid many-to-many communication, might enable broader participation in decision-making, new modes of citizenship and community, and the reciprocal exchange of information.

      Do you feel more empowered, "part of" things?
  • He links the emergence of the new knowledge space to the breakdown of geographic constraints on communication, of the declining loyalty of individuals to organized groups, and of the diminished power of nation-states to command the exclusive loyalty of their citizens.

      Are we feeling this breakdown of the traditional groups yet?

  • On-line fan communities might well be some of the most fully realized versions of Levy's cosmopedia, expansive self-organizing groups focused around the collective production, debate, and circulation of meanings, interpretations, and fantasies in response to various artifacts of contemporary popular culture. Fan communities have long defined their memberships through affinities rather than localities.

      Have these fan based communities arisen recently, or do they seem to you like they've always been there? Maybe none of these new technologies seem worth discussing to you, who are digital natives. Maybe they are just fascinating to those of us who have witnessed the birth of the internet and the www and lived the first part of our lives without it. To us the transformation brought about by online worlds has been radical.
  • Room for participation and improvisation are being built into new media franchises.
    • Susan Waterworth
       
      Interactivity - is that what draws you in? The feeling of being an active participant instead of a passive recipient?
  • media consumers as either totally autonomous from nor totally vulnerable to the culture industries. It would be naive
  •  
    Academic article, but worth digging through and highlighting the bits you understand. Introduces the idea of "collective intelligence" and the way youth understand digital technology.
