As I've followed this thread, it seems as though there is considerable talk about space as a metaphor, and the physical spaces taken up by servers and cables and such, but what about the physical spaces occupied by the people engaged in CMC, and how those spaces are arranged in ways that may encourage or discourage social inter- action? There's some interesting work that's been done in this area, including Alison Powell's excellent paper on internet cafes presented in Toronto. (I've done some work on the arrangement of interior space around inter- active technology, so this aspect of space is something that I wouldn't want to see overlooked.) And as someone who had the opportunity to study with a great Harold Innis scholar, Jim Carey, I of course feel compelled to point out that one can look at matters of space without also considering matters of time ;-) Holly ----- Holly Kruse Faculty of Communication University of Tulsa 600 S.
