The New Frontier

By txt | Published: July 26, 2001

I just found this article in Spark Online. It is about the shifting the focus from cyberspace to cyberplace, (something that I have been grapeling with over the past few months). Spark Online is an excellent journal if you are not familiar with it. It has as sections on ESociety and a gallery,as well as [...]

The New Frontier

By txt | Published: July 26, 2001

Nice to read of something kind of  familiar for a change, like Fitzroy. I’d be interested in reading  your next instalment though, because your title and a number of points raised offer much … and leave us waiting for the delivery! The United States defines the ideology of globalisation and Corporations are the main catalyst. Here, [...]

ethics?

By txt | Published: July 22, 2001

I have an ethical question for a utopian Libertarian or an “anarchist”. I have a friend who is Labour Lawyer. She often deals with disputes between workers and their bosses, most notably in small business. There are often incidences where the boss feels as though they own their employees and can treat them as they [...]

CHOGM

By txt | Published: July 12, 2001

Hi all…some radical thoughts on radicals, Yer, this following stuff stresses me to no ends. How about CHOGM and how the self-appointed ‘radicals’ are now planning to attack democratically elected governments of some of the World’s poorest countries. Sure, I was at S11, I backed the blockading of the WTO and I even supported the [...]

uninstuctive thinker

By txt | Published: July 10, 2001

I have a few thoughts on email lists, and email, and information, and too much of all the above. I wonder just how ‘democratic’ the world will become when everyone has email and everyone can publish? If everyone talks at once, then no one can hear. There are already too many books, too many web [...]
