Discussion Prompts/Questions

by jessicawalker
  • A question posed last class: What is a whole person? What does a whole person do? How do they communicate?
  • What conclusions can be drawn strictly from footprinting data? And what does that tell us about connections with others and what does it leave out?
  • Ito and Fischer deal with different methodologies to get at similar questions about the nuances of social interaction Fischer is only concerned with fiends that have direct relations with others while Ito is concerned with the creation of private space and alternate approaches to personal interaction facilitated by PCT. Can the Ito provide the electronic gadget Fischer laments about on pg 21?
  • The notion of lack or absences seems to permeate all the readings. What is the relationship between connectivity and disconnection in terms of absence?
  • Is it possible to talk about connectivity and dis-connectivity in terms of tactics and strategies of social engagement?
