The Amateur Ability to perform judgment, critics, comments (attraction for annotation technologies, tagging) Long tail practice for reading / writing (deep attention vs. hyper attention) Intensive production and exchange of metadata enriching content (collaborative technologies) Sensitive/instrumental practices (“electronic pen”, up-stream, communication objects, multimodal interfaces).
