Dear Colleagues First of all, many thanks to the breathtaking number of responses to my earlier query on technology / ideology. In particular, in response to Robert Rattle's comment:

Might it be possible to compile the input and feed it back to the list at some future date? I'm sure you've received many off list contributions and the bibliography would be invaluable.

Of course - but this will take a bit of time; preferring an "opt-in" to an "opt-out" approach, I'll be in touch with individual respondents to get their yea/nay on sharing resources so generously shared. In the meantime - has anyone taken a careful, critical look at the "Declaration of Internet Freedom" campaign that has popped up this week - <http://act.freepress.net/sign/internetdeclaration/> from <http://www.freepress.net/>. It enjoys the support of the usual (good) suspects. But I'd be curious to see what responses AoIRists are making to this? All best, C. -- Until August 31, 2012: Professor MSO Media Studies, Institute for Aesthetics and Communication Aarhus University Helsingforsgade 14 8200 Aarhus Denmark
