Home Page Architecture: Social Psychological Principles by Leon James in Hawaii

More from professor James – good on “place”…

“My Home Page is my other house. It sits in cyberspace. I had a difficult time explaining why I call a bunch of computer files on my drive by the name of “my house” or “my home.” He had a bunch of folders and files on his computer and he didn’t see why he should call this his house. Well, that’s not it. I don’t use the term “my home” for just any bunch of computer files around. But these particular files are connected to the Internet. This means that millions of people could look at them, at any time, and read them, or copy them to their own computer. In fact any navigator in cyberspace who lands on your Home Page can copy them at the flick of the mouse. For all I know my Home Page, or sections thereof, can have thousands of duplicates of itself all around the world.”

The Religion of Technology : The Divinity of Man and the Spirit of Invention
by David F. Noble

The Amazon site it worth it for the reviews. See also: the review by John McLaughlin, which begins:

“In a recent review for the online journal Kairos, I referred to Ray Kurzweil’s The Age of Spiritual Machines as a brilliant book “with a hole in the middle.” That hole was the lack of any extended discussion of the concept of spirituality, in the context of nanotechnology, genetic engineering, and photon-based computing, Kurzweil’s actual subjects. What could “spirituality” mean in such a context?”

Resource Center for Cyberculture Studies

“The Resource Center for Cyberculture Studies is an online, not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to research, study, teach, support, and create diverse and dynamic elements of cyberculture. Collaborative in nature, RCCS seeks to establish and support ongoing conversations about the emerging field, to foster a community of students, scholars, teachers, explorers, and builders of cyberculture, and to showcase various models, works-in-progress, and on-line projects.”

This is a good resource – I have looked at the Book of he month page for years, but did not know what site it was on.
