Editor's Notes
- readings: Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Man That Was Used Up” (1839) & E.T.A. Hoffman's “The Sandman” (1816) http://xroads.virginia.edu/~hyper/POE/used_up.html http://germanstories.vcu.edu/hoffmann/sand_e.html
- - onze toenemende intieme, persoonlijke, liefdevolle verhouding tot media versus een groeiend onbehagen tov diezelfde media - de verwachting dat media/technologie beter zijn cq perfect zijn versus de verwachting dat diezelfde machines ons op een bepaald moment noverbodig maken - onze behoefte aan (een onbewerkte) werkelijkheid/waarheid versus de introductie van structurele twijfel daaraan oiv alomtegenwoordige (geredigeerde/redactionele) media

- Alone Together-People are increasingly Depending on their technologies and media to replace human relationships Depend on emotional performances as opposed to real emotions Establish emotional relationships that we can program/shape/control
- http://www.makingisconnecting.org/ convivial tools are technologies that favor action over consumption; dialogue over exploitation Basing his argument on the works of Austrian philosopher-priest Ivan Illich, Gauntlett passionately advocates a convivial engage- ment with society in media – not exclusively through the planned process of multimedia conglomerates and commer- cial software, but through the making, appropriating and, in effect, hacking of tools in order to care for and about others.
- Conviviality Illich worked to open new possibilities. He argued that we need convivial tools as opposed to machines. A tool may accept more than one utilisation, sometimes even distant from its original use. A tool accepts expression from its user. On the contrary, with a machine, humans become servants, their role consisting only of running the machine for a single purpose.

- Previously, the reality was hard, it pushed against it, broke it and ran out the teeth on the other hand, until the skull cracked. Not too long ago they were fluffy, the ending could not intervene to hand grasp and understand quite, and echoed the call for her to no response. And now it is because to be frothy, a sprawling pile of soap bubbles, which burst at the slightest touch, and prove nothing. In this account of the disappearance of reality rising to a question, but it remains on the tongue and can not be uttered. She still speaks out, then it sounds like: "Get out the reality really ?"...
- The notion of being together and generally having a great time, yet still being alone in one’s experience of reality captures the notion of a media life, in which people are more connected than ever before – whether through common boundaryless issues such as global warming, terrorism and worldwide migration, or via internet and mobile communication – yet at the same time on their own, securely secluded in a personalized mediasphere.
- Whuffie is the ephemeral, reputation-based currency of Cory Doctorow's science fiction novel Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom
- All You Zombies: 1959; movie: predestination "'—All You Zombies—'" chronicles a young man (later revealed to be intersex) taken back in time and tricked into impregnating his younger, female self (before he underwent a sex change); he thus turns out to be the offspring of that union, with the paradoxical result that he is his own mother and father. As the story unfolds, all the major characters are revealed to be the same person, at different stages of her/his life. "—All You Zombies—"' is a science fiction short story by Robert A. Heinlein. It was written in one day, July 11, 1958, and first published in the March 1959 issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction magazine after being rejected by Playboy.
