  • learning communities: places where people came together to learn lessons that were as much about how to live as they were about how to perform a task?
  • highly resistant to new forms of scientific and technological knowledge

  • Democracy wasn't present. Those wishing to censor ideas have been given a most powerful weapon. Culture will suffer. Whilst creators will gain nothing.
  • To just consume doesn't even make sense.
  • Today was a huge failure for democracy. A bill was passed, unread, unanalysed by computer illiterate MPs who didn't attend the debates.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The internet generation, who cares deeply about this matter was watching.They saw the empty parliament.They heard the ignorant comments.They saw democracy fail.They are not pleased.
  • how out of touch the Government is with respect to the populace.
  • Any MP who watches this will leave understanding the culture that they are ignorant of - but today made illegal.

  • We need to see the way documents have served not simply to write, but also to underwrite social interactions; not simply to communicate, but also to coordinate social practices
  • new forms of document allowed new forms of community
  • These groups can look surprisingly like modern equivalents of the scholarly communities that formed throughout the world in the Renaissance
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • The role of documents in linking people
  • he importance of documents to the formation of communities.
  • document forms both old (like the newspaper) and relatively new (like the television program) have underwritten a sense of community among a disparate and dispersed group of people
  • Marginal notes, footnotes, and conventional commentaries are merely the clearest examples of the ways that writing continually provokes more writing and that texts provide context for each other
  • Indeed, writing on writing is both literally and metaphorically an important part of the way meaning is negotiated.
  • Annotation is a rich cultural practice which helps, if only by the density of comment attached,
  • he appearance of entire conventional books at Web sites now supports intertextual research and practices.
  • Almost every day a new site appears with searchable and downloadable texts. Some allow commentary, too.
  • More generally, creative use of new documents no longer involves direct challenges to old ones
  • Rather, these new forms appear to reinvigorate the old, extending their useful social life not ending it.
  • primary characteristic of documents is their mobility
  • Documents quickly pass beyond the reach and protection of their maker and have to fend for themselves.
