This is a moderated list to which O'Reilly editor, Steve Talbott, will post approximately weekly pieces concerning high-technology trends in relation to individual responsibility. Some of these pieces will be selections from his own forthcoming collection of provocations, "Daily Meditations for the Computer-entranced." Technology and the Net: Who Is Responsible? - ------------------------------------------- The "netfuture" list will have a focus similar to the well-known and estimable comp.risks newsgroup, with this difference: "netfuture" will look beyond the generally recognized issues such as privacy, access, and dangerous computer glitches, seeking especially to address those deep levels at which we half-consciously shape technology and are shaped by it. What is half-conscious can, after all, be made fully conscious, and can become material for public discussion and policy-making. As we wait for the second wave of Internet backlash, what better to do than try to understand the forces that have propelled the Net so dramatically onto center stage amidst near worship on the one hand, and (among a few) something more like dread? Once "netfuture" is under way, a companion unmoderated discussion list may be launched, based on the advice of participants. Steve is author of _The Future Does Not Compute -- Transcending the Machines in Our Midst_" which we published. - ------------------------------ To subscribe to the "netfuture" mailing list, address an e-mail message to: listproc@online.ora.com No "Subject" is needed. However, you must make this the first line in the body of your message: subscribe netfuture "Your Name" For example: subscribe netfuture John Doe Within the next day or so (usually much sooner) you should get a reply message welcoming you to the list and explaining how to participate. If you don't get the initial reply, or if you have other problems or questions, please send e-mail to: netfuture-owner@online.ora.com -- tell us when you sent your message and include your telephone number. If you have more than one computer account or read e-mail on several different services, be sure to send your subscription request from the place where you want to read "netfuture". Our system automatically reads your e-mail address from your subscription-message and registers you at that particular address. - --Brian - -- ------- End of Forwarded Message ------------------------------------------------------------------ Voxers-At-Large: Your Psycho Fiends Network ------------------------------------------------------------------
