Flook_Ch7_Vesna_Q

Victoria Vesna’s chapter on time and community is a good article about where the future of networking might go. Instead of focusing on unrealistic and fictional accounts of where digital mediums might go, Vesna concentrates on concrete and realistic occurrences of today and how they might impact the future. She simplifies it here: “we have the option of collaborating with people whom we never even meet, and consciously plan projects in which the audience become an integral part of the piece and even play an important role in its development.”

My Big Question is simply this: how will future networks affect our lives? Today, the internet has a prominent role in people’s lives, but it still does not control (most of us). I think this might change, but (in relation to Vesna’s article) in what way?
