Chun questions to return to...

My notes from class of topics and questions that Chun hasn't yet addressed fully or that I would like to address next time we discuss Control and Freedom:

- Space?? (addressed by Chun and on a few of our blogs, but not in class)

- How can we use technology to increase/propagate freedom?

- More on the relationship ("twinning") of control and freedom

- More on the freedom-technology-transparency relationships

- Is sexuality more implicated in technology than we generally realize/admit? (This might have been Anne's question.) What have we to gain from considering these relationships and implications? What might be the repercussions not only for our use and understanding of technology but for our understanding of our sexuality? (We may not want to go there...)

- What is Chun saying about the relationship of the internet to "print" and writing and reading? (see, for example, 122) Also, "literacy" and "looking" and "publicity"? And the "privatization of language" (127)?
