…is my love for theory war; to the death!
@psychemedia: Ipad isn’t for geeks’n’techies, “it just works”. Got that? “It just works”. It brings digital goods to folk who don’t use or want a computer # “A (personal) computer in every home”. Probably not. A TV in every home? Pretty much. An ipad in every home? Something like it… # aargghhh…most people are not geeks. Their phones, game consoles, cameras are not computers, they are phones, games consoles, cameras # my view is that what ipad range will come to represent is not primarily intended for anybody who is likely to read this… Maybe;-) #
@hauntagonist: Btw the iPad is a further evolution towards interpassivity-enabling technology. Touch only reinforces the paradox and myth of interactivity. # We do not lack communication. On the contrary we have too much of it. We lack *creation*. We lack resistance to the present -Deleuze #iPad #
@sdv_duras: @hauntagonist - does that not imply that all modern technologies are leading to increasing passivity ? #
hauntagonist: @sdv_duras I think I agree with that. #
@kpunk99: @hauntagonist Baudrillard For A Critique Of The Political Economy of The Sign is astonishingly prescient on these matters IMO #
via @josshands: @mckenziewark: Rather than phones becoming tiny computers, we’re going to get computers that are just big phones: closed, proprietary, unhackable. #
And then also this via @jayrosen_nyu & that by @sociologylens
fun!
