Netizens, hive-minds, the profiled : new wired identities of the communication revolution era

Abstract

"The projects of connectivity haunt the modern man. The ability to be connected decides over more and more aspects of life while those ««-wired are being relegated to the margins of society that are possibly darker than any known before. New environments of human communication have also introduced a new kind of (un)awareness of change - with all data - news, weather reports, private communications, and spam - speeding indifferently through cyberspace - the content and meaning seem to many to be lost."
