Penny says "The emerging range of digital social practices calls for a new range of sociological studies..." (page 82)

My question is why "sociological?" We've been learning in Digital Storytelling 1 & 2, that there is a digital media type world out there emmerging, and needs to be studied and classifiyed, but is sociological the best way?? Why not try to impliment communication theories or narrative theories to study this??

Would it be best to pull a Medici Effect and pull together many different disciplines to study this massive forming area??

Yes, I agree. Why sociology? But if we remember what Dr. J. said last week about how communication is not deemed as legitimate as sociology or psychology. Maybe they feel compelled to use traditional methods. Losers.

I THINK ANY DISCIPLINE IS WELCOME HERE. WE CAN NOT KEEP AND SCIENCES AWAY FROM EACH-OTHER "NATURAL LAW"
I PERSONALLY WELCOME SOCIOLOGY TO THE RESEARCH. AT THE END OF THE DAY, "EDUCATION" IS OUR MAIN GOAL.
AND DIVERSITY OUR RESPONSABILITY.
