There are all kinds of arguments for and against social networking. Somewhere between these two extremes is where we will find the truth. Technology is either wholly good or wholly destructive. When we debate modernity, we tend to engage in all-or-nothing propositions. Here in the United States, Twitter was a valuable place for the exchange of information during Hurricane Sandy, as people turned to their smartphones to find out what was going on, to find out where they might seek shelter, to mourn the destruction, to find solace. During the 2011 Egyptian revolution, Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking platforms played a key role as a source of information for activists within Egypt and interested onlookers from around the world. When Iranians protested the 20 elections, they communicated with one another using Twitter. In 2009, protesters in Moldova used Twitter to coordinate their efforts against the government. Here I am.Īt times, social networking has a far more significant function. Here I am quietly yearning for your attention. Here I am offering some part of myself to you. This is our brave new world.Ĭertainly, a large part of social networking is grounded in the banal and utterly human. We “favorite” and “like” and tweet, retweet, and subtweet. Technology has brought us many things, including social networking, which has become so pervasive it has given us a new vocabulary. We cannot escape the necessity of humanity, no matter what technology makes possible.

He adds that while technology can contribute to powerful positive social change, that change won’t happen simply because the technology exists. Winner, however, argues that while technology will bring about change, that change won’t necessarily be good because technological advances will replace human jobs and will only benefit those already capable of taking advantage. It’s a nice idea that, with technology, we can make the world the best possible place. We see this ideology at work all the time in the marketing of, say, Apple products, or the earnestness of the propaganda surrounding the One Laptop per Child program. Winner has introduced the notion of mythinformation, the almost-religious conviction that a widespread adoption of computers and communications systems, along with access to electronic information, will make the world a better place for all. This sub is not official and was definitely not created by Lovett to stroke his own ego.Scholar Langdon Winner is concerned with technological progress and how people adopt these new technologies with (or without) critical inquiry.
