Mike English 💾Here's another point of reference from a bit further back resurfaced earlier today by @brewsterkahle:

@[email protected] Maybe a bit 'flat', but I would exchange a "global village" for a "globe of villages" again. Especially if we can be in a bunch of villages. -- Village overlapping with different types of people in ~1979 at MIT we tried a "Humannet" when we got everyone on the Arpanet on one big mailing list. it was a disaster. Twitter seems to have the problems we discovered with Humannet. oh, how about mastodon community is Yahoo Groups? does that get you in the current era?
Here are a couple of ideas that I think may be worth re-surfacing:
- Helen Nissenbaum's concept of Privacy as #ContextualIntegrity
- danah boyd (@zephoria)'s description of social network sites as #NetworkedPublics and particularly the idea of "publics" (plural) in contrast to a binary conception of privacy
What should we call this resurfacing of theory and ideas?
I'm envisioning a kind of mini #SocialRenaissance.
Does that resonate with anyone else?
