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
