I've become particularly interested in the Net because I work in an industry where not only managers, HR officials and computer buffs are hooked up, but the mass of employees - viz., Higher Education. For the past 2 or 3 years, I have been union-organising using mainly E-mail. So, the Internet has quite contradictory potentials. While the new developments in the means of production have obvious down-sides for humanity generally, they don't "fit" very well with capitalism, do they? The only thing is I think people are very disoriented by the lack of spatial reference in today's world, and we have a lot of work to do work out how to organise in this spatially dislocated world.
