Glad to see this topic getting so much interest. I undertake a pretty thoroughgoing analysis and critique of the neutral tech idea in this book just out:: Digination: Identity, Organization, and Public Life in the Age of Small Digital Devices and Big Digital Domains FDU Press, Robert MacDougall (2012) http://www.amazon.com/Digination-Identity-Organization-Digital-Communication... And in this edited volume the same critique is threaded through every chapter contributed: Drugs & Media: New Perspectives on Communication, Consumption, and Consciousness Continuum, Robert MacDougall, Ed (2012) http://www.amazon.com/Drugs-Media-Perspectives-Communication-Consciousness/d... Both links lead to the "look inside" feature on Amazon when you can browse a bit. Would love to hear folks' thoughts. -rob ________________________________________ From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of Denise N.
