technologies are
NOT
enough

using tech for sharing {whatever} is a complex cultural experience
should we define culture?... and
conversations?[culture is]…such information as is capable of transmission from individual to individual.
Boyd & Richerson {1985}
conversations are situated {context based} exchanges of information among individuals
and there comes the internet...

and the newtork society...
castells: the netsoc...IS: from www.tidec.org/geovisions/Castells.html
An informational economy in which sources of productivity and competitiveness for firms, regions, countries depend, more than ever, on knowledge, information and the technology of their processing, including the technology of management and the management of technology.
A global economy that is not the same as a world economy, and is a new reality. At its core it has strategically dominant activities which have the potential of working as a unit in real time on a planetary scale.
castells: the netsoc...IS: from www.tidec.org/geovisions/Castells.html
It reaches out to whole planet but does not include whole planet and excludes the majority in an uneven geography...

The network enterprise is a new form of organisation characteristic of economic activity, but gradually extending its logic to other domains and organisations. It is a network made either from firms or segments of firms, or from internal segmentation of firms.

The transformation of work and employment; the flexi-workers... no major surge in unemployment... but... great anxiety and discontent about work. Power relations... shifted in favour of capital with much downsizing, subcontracting and networking of labour, inducing flexibility and individualisation of contractual arrangements.
castells: the netsoc...IS: from www.tidec.org/geovisions/Castells.html
Social polarisation and social
exclusion... processes of globalisation, business networking and individualisation of labour... weaken... organisations and institutions that represented & protected workers...
castells: the netsoc...IS: from www.tidec.org/geovisions/Castells.html
The culture of real virtuality...the emergence of a similar pattern of networking, flexibility and ephemeral symbolic communication in a culture organised around the electronic media. The media are extremely diverse and send targeted messages to specific segments of audiences and to specific moods of audiences.
castells: the netsoc...IS: from www.tidec.org/geovisions/Castells.html
Politics now needs to occupy media space if actors and ideas are not to be marginalised. The {NET} media has become the essential space of politics...
castells: the netsoc...IS: from www.tidec.org/geovisions/Castells.html
Timeless time... time and space... meanings and manifestations in social practice evolve throughout histories and across cultures. The network society is organised around new forms of time and space: timeless time... and... the space of flows
castells: the netsoc...IS: from www.tidec.org/geovisions/Castells.html
The space of flows is the material organisation of time-sharing social practices that work through flows. The space of places continues to be the predominant space of experience.
...In the Network Society a fundamental form of social
domination is the prevalence of the logic of the space of
flows over the space of places...
HOW it works, really?{castells, in the trilogy}
"Social movements in the Information Age
are essentially mobilized around cultural
values. The struggle to change the codes of
meaning in the institutions and practice of
the society is the essential struggle in the
process of social change in the new historical
context, movements to seize the
power of the minds, not state power."
{castells, explaining...}http://globetrotter.berkeley.edu/people/Castells/castells-con5.html
In a so-called information society, minds
are not only the most important
economic asset -companies with minds
make money; companies with money and no
minds lose the money- it's the same thing in
everything. The networks are not
programmed by technology;
technological tools are
programmed by minds.
{castells, more explanation...}http://globetrotter.berkeley.edu/people/Castells/castells-con5.html
So the human consciousness [is the source],
because everything now depends on
our ability to generate
knowledge and process
information in every domain and
activity. Knowledge and information are
cognitive qualities from the human mind.
{castells, more explanation...}http://globetrotter.berkeley.edu/people/Castells/castells-con5.html
Yes, human minds usually are connected to bodies, which means that you have to take into consideration the overall system of human existence, social services support, etc. But fundamentally, the human mind has always been, but more than ever now, the source of wealth, power, and control over everything.
shouldwe, then...
why would we SHARE things?
SHARE knowledge? gurteen,
1999
ideas, processes, information are taking a growing share of global output & trade.the only sustainable competitive advantage is continuous innovation.turn over of staff: people don't take a job for life any more. memory leaks all the time...dispersed organisations do not know what they know.accelerating change - technology, business and social. all above happens really fast.
why?
SHARE knowledge? gurteen,
1999why?
By sharing your K, you gain more then you lose.
Sharing K is a synergistic process – you get
more out than you put in. If I share a product
idea or a way of doing things with another person
– then just the act of putting my idea into words
or writing will help me shape and improve that
idea. If I get into dialogue with the other person
then I'll benefit from their K, from their unique
insights and improve my ideas further.
SHARE knowledge? gurteen,
1999ALL?
...people object to sharing as they feel that
others will steal their ideas and reap the
rewards rightly theirs. This is a fallacy.
Knowledge sharing isn't about blindly
sharing everything; giving away your ideas;
being politically naïve; or being open about
absolutely everything. You still need to
exercise judgement...
the world of tech {and sharing?}
institutions share...
so do people...

sometimes... you do not behave...
