To be clear, I said that "those who have been influenced by Innis, McLuhan, Beniger and Carey" -- which is a lot of people, most of us on the list, I assume. Those who have considered the effect of the telegraph and distributed communication, pre-Internet. Anomie as a condition of life on the road and the virtual community and modern to postmodern communication and the existential condition thereof. The life of the contemporary, vagabond, technomadic scholar is one sort of road warrior. the Taliban with their cell phones and dish transmissions are another, and quite literally warriors on the old silk road. But actually I don't know that I would privilege that term. What interests me in the thread is taking your work and gizmos with you wherever you go, the fact that the logging in and out metaphors are losing their centrality and that this changing paradigm is global. We're better connected, yet more atomized. Thus far, enthusiastic claims aside, the Net has not brought about universal brotherhood and understanding. We communicate more, but perhaps listen less (very old dystopic claims, again dating to the electric telegraph). We have conveniences that contribute to our business and social lives and that enable the most recent iteration of the "road warrior" lifestyle, yet they're also a pain in the neck. It's more stuff to buy and keep up with, encouraging greater corporate incursion, however nearly undeniably cool, mobilizing, etcetera.
