I know you said "classic", but I've found trendwatching.com pretty useful for taking cheap shots at contemporary technoutopianism, not always specifically to do with the internet: http://www.trendwatching.com/trends/GENERATION_C.htm On 11/3/05 3:47 AM, "Nancy Baym" <nbaym@ku.edu> wrote:
A dual question:
Has anyone got particular favorite utopain or dystopian statements/landmarks about the internet? (preferably with citation) I'm thinking of things like famous ads promising us liberation from race age etc, Negroponte's "Being Digital," as well as quotations.
-or-
Does anyone know of any papers or lists tracing the uptopian or dystopian highlights of rhetoric about the internet?
Thanks,
Nancy
