  • One of the interesting side effects of the pervasiveness of technology today is that work in general is becoming so digital that it sometimes completely disappears from sight.
  • This is one of the central aspects of social media that has made it so prevalent in recent years and is the reason most of the Web today is being peer produced in such a manner.
  • This has led to a small but growing movement to make the workplace take on this issue, with the premise that traditional, pre-digital work processes tended to have more people directly in the loop, reviewing, editing, overseeing, and so on. Now too often, work takes place in digital silos that greatly reduce the human involvement, fails to capture much of the knowledge at all (something I call knowledge evaporation), and leaves little behind to learn from, build upon, or otherwise reuse. This is because older digital tools aren't nearly as focused on discovery, collaboration, or network effects.

  • Open work, like open source, open standards, or even the more prosaic scholastic open house for that matter, has at its core the ethic that hiding the work process in shadows is generally counterproductive.
  • The deluge of communication and conservation can be interrruptive when not managed well. Driving enough relevant participation for those unfamiliar with the discipline can be hard at first too.

    It's amazing how rudimentary it already almost seems, but note the points she brings up: -Immersion, but with "LACK of socialization" (4:02) in regards to spreading of germs (an arguably necessary part of human longevity). But in regards to ACTUAL socialization, she confirms that this interface will support the ability "to be able to confront each other, to see each other, to talk to each other." -Time-travel (3:20) -Extreme proficiency

    Summary: Contrary to much of the hype that posits cyberspace as the uncontested domain of rugged individualists, computer networks and traffic exhibit deeply social and political roots. The Internet is neither inherently oppressive nor automatically emancipatory; it is a terrain of contested philosophies and politics. After a brief review of the politics of electronic knowledge, we discuss the ways in which the Internet can be harnessed for counterhegemonic (antiestablishment) political ends. We focus on progressive uses, including the confrontation of nomadic power and rhizomic power structures, in which the local becomes the global. We also offer an encapsulation of right-wing uses. Throughout, we see cyberactivism as a necessary, but not sufficient, complement to real-world struggles on behalf of the disempowered.
