Subject: M-I: "post-factory culture"


Now is certainly NOT the time to stop explaining people's Thinking by their
Being. 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.
Andy
