Society in ad-hoc mode:
Decentralised, self-organizing, mobile.
Armin Medosch, 2004
This article by Armin medoch compares and criticizes the use of mobile and wireless media by the government, social communities and activists. Especially focussed on the infrastructure of networks used and formed by these different groups. The article questions the view on self-organization and social progress trough communication technologies. (“free software and free content break down the barrier between producer and consumer. Every reader is a potential writer” Walter Benjamin). The article indicates that advanced communications technologies are not just for the financial gain of the few.
