# sección /., vía esta noticia llego a los troll del ciberespacio. ooohhh!!! ya saben: i love the net.

# interesante y muy recomendable el blog de Robin Hamman, cybersoc.com. esta semana tiene "bloguerxs invitadxs" y por el momento me "quedo" con lo que dice Matthew Allen en su entrada - internet research -,

"In 2004, the AoIR Conference was themed ‘Ubiquity?’, pondering the degree to which network access might be everywhere, all the time and the consequences thereof. I think that 2005, Internet research was marked by increased acknowledgment that the reality of ‘Internet everywhere’ is different to what some corporations might have us believe. Ubiquity is not a case of wireless technologies (even though, in many parts of the world wireless access is now much more significant, either directly or through mobile telephony networks), nor of the multiplication of devices that hook up to the Internet (even though manufacturers continue to develop such products). Rather, as is emerging in many scholars’ work, the Internet is everywhere because of the interaction between the social connectivity of the world offline and the world online. In other words, the Internet is everywhere precisely because it is not artificially distinct from the everyday places in which people live. Put bluntly, there is no ‘cyberspace’. No doubt, over the next year, research will continue that, rather than locating people in or not in cyberspace, imagines the Internet as simply a visible sign of, and perhaps a key motive force behind, the increasing networking of society. Cyberspace might then again become a term, rather like Haraway’s long-established notion of the cyborg (A Cyborg Manifesto, 1991), which focuses our attention on the instability of essential human identities in a world of network informatics"

las negritas son de Allen pero personalmente yo las "ennegrecería" aún más :)

# el "pogüerpoin" es un invento del diablo, siempre lo dicho, no sólo que proceda de "hasecorp" lo convierte en objetivo de mis críticas, también ese afán por hacerlo protagonista de muchos de los momentos más tediosos de la existencia humana. bien, pues a mis "fobias" :) únanle, vía el interesantísimo tomorrow's professor blog, esta magnífica argumentación the perils of powerpoint, continuada por esta otra, death by powerpoint.
