Document Summary
All acting as individuals believing that they have control. But there is a hierarchy (controlling the game) Without hierarchy, they created a collective conscious. They can also be seen as a group of people. The hederarchy= it was plural and heterogeneous. Highlights that things can be emerged and is heterogeneous. Not just a mindset that made it happen, there. Seeing it as one consciousness takes away from the heterogeneity of it. Organizations can be self- organized, instead of autocratically managed. Te(cid:272)h(cid:374)olog(cid:455) is as (cid:373)u(cid:272)h a(cid:271)out (cid:449)a(cid:455)s of doi(cid:374)g thi(cid:374)gs as it is a(cid:271)out (cid:862)thi(cid:374)gs(cid:863) that do thi(cid:374)gs. Technology is a relational field of forces and associations. The (cid:862)thi(cid:374)gs(cid:863) (cid:449)e asso(cid:272)iate (cid:449)ith te(cid:272)h(cid:374)olog(cid:455) (cid:272)o(cid:373)e i(cid:374)to e(cid:454)iste(cid:374)(cid:272)e (cid:449)ithi(cid:374) a(cid:374)d are determined by those relations. Technologies are open, dynamic systems- we cannot attribute causality to particular (cid:862)thi(cid:374)gs(cid:863) Agency is distributed- phenomena emerge not due to the interaction of things but as the outcome of the inter-relations between elements, both material and immaterial (symbolic)
