So there it is in a few bytes. I'm celebrating all the stuff we can purchase, but I'm extremely suspicious of it too.
Capitalism is weird.
In our hypercapitalist society money is like gravity - everything is pulled toward it. Add to that the disappearance of the outside. What used to be outside has been incorporated into the body informatique. Even the excluded are pulled into the Popomo dialogue, or should I say polylogue. The very exclusion of the poor, the homeless, the ethnically alienated is one of the hottest topics in the body informatique, affecting if not defining our sense of them and inevitably their sense of themselves.
