商品簡介
Scholars of communication and related disciplines look at everyday lives in which computer networks are no longer shiny toys, but simply one of the pedestrian dimensions of the world. Their topics include when collective intelligence agencies collide, not unpacking the infinite library with Walter Benjamin, voicing and placement in online networks, health 2.0 and managing "dividual" care in the network, sport in the wires, television as everyday network of government, and the appropriation of labor in the post-global network.
