In a shocking turn of events, the author waxes nostalgic about a time when social media was a utopia of human connection, only to declare it dead and replaced by...RSS feeds? 😂 Apparently, the future is all about reliving 2005 one feed at a time. 📜🔄

The #CalifornianIdeology:
"This new faith has emerged from a bizarre fusion of the cultural bohemianism of San Francisco with the hi-tech industries of #SiliconValley. Promoted in magazines, books, TV programmes, websites, newsgroups and Net conferences, the Californian Ideology promiscuously combines the free-wheeling spirit of the #hippies and the entrepreneurial zeal of the #yuppies. This amalgamation of opposites has been achieved through a profound faith in the emancipatory potential of the new information technologies. In the #digitalutopia, everybody will be both hip and rich. Not surprisingly, this optimistic vision of the future has been enthusiastically embraced by computer nerds, slacker students, innovative capitalists, social activists, trendy academics, futurist bureaucrats and opportunistic politicians across the USA."

🖥️ Behold: the digital utopia where every job listing is wrapped in an open-source bow, as if merely uttering "FOSS" 🤓 will send recruiters into a hiring frenzy. Their grand vision? 🌈 A world where job seekers endlessly scroll through listings that, ironically, only exist for companies that improve open-source—because using it is just so passé. 😂

In a prism of thought, suns set and rise on a geometric sea, mirrored cities of hues at dusk and dawn, an abstract utopia wrapped in a kaleidoscope's embrace.

Future #MediaArchaeology scholars will have significant things to say about the development of the #NewChina as a producer and product of #NewMedia. The #DigitalUtopia is still in a class conflict with #SurveillanceCapitalism, and the outcomes of that struggle will have a huge impact on the future of the political-economic project that is modern China, and in turn on the unfolding of the globalized human society of the 21st century.

Invisible Labor and Digital Utopias

"If #digitalutopia doesn’t see our bodies, it makes sense it cannot see our work. If digital utopia cannot imagine our existence, it makes sense it will not value our presence.

"So I’ve been thinking a lot about #permissions & #openness… wonder if “permission-less-ness”… is built on some unexamined exploitation and extraction of labor – on invisible, unvalued work. Whose digital utopia does “openness” represent?"
