This week at Cyborgology…
Dave Strohecker is back at theorizing hipsters and authenticity, this time comparing them to “indie”
Editors Nathan Jurgenson and PJ Rey live-tweeted and archived the Twitter stream of the recent flash-conference on Occupy, the Tea Party and networked democracy
Jenny Davis writes on “responsible Googling,” or how teachers should best use the Web in the classroom
Nathan Jurgenson asks if Occupy can survive a winter without tents, arguing that most analyses of the movement has looked too much at space and not enough at time
David Banks writes his second post on Actor Network Theory, compares it to “augmented reality” and again comes down hard on Latour and his disciples. The post continues to spark a terrific discussion in the comments
Sarah Wanenchak responds to Nathan’s previous post arguing that, yes, Occupy can withstand a winter without tents. Memories are strong, and people will not forget about what made the movement powerful.
We live in a cyborg society. Technology has infiltrated the most fundamental aspects of our lives: social organization, the body, even our self-concepts. This blog chronicles our new, augmented reality.
