So McLuhan was wrong? ;-) But I tend to agree with you, the Internet atpresent mostly boasts quantitative differences over traditional media.I'd have to search hard and fast for deep conceptual (ie not technical)innovation. Also, this cyber-trash is truly irritating, and it mostlycomes from people who could not on their lives tell the origin of 'cyber'or why it's a misnomer.trash

If theproperties of matter and energy at any given level of organisation cannot beexplained by the properties of the underlying levels, it follows thatbiology cannot be reduced to physics or anthropology to biology" [14] Or onemight add, psychology to physiology.trashv

Data Trash: The Theory of the Virtual Class
According to Arthur Kroker
In conversation with Geert Lovink
Arthur Kroker wrote 'Data Trash, a Theory of the Virtual Class'together with Michael Weinstein, a poltical philosopher, rap poet andphotography critic for The Chicago Tribune. According to Arthur Krokerhe is also "a Nietzschian underground man who thinks deeply about theUnited States." Arthur and Michael met during the Vietnam years andcollaborated for the last 20 years on the Canadian Journal for Polticaland Social Theory (now the electronic magazine 'CTHEORY'). 'DataTrash' is hyper topical, which is remarkable for such a slow medium asa book. It leaves manuals, introductions and speculations behind in order to operate a pincer movement, telling the story of the rise of anew class while at the same time reflecting upon its consequences. Thisis a far cry from the usual activities of media theorists for whom theNet is still more something of a rumour than of a concrete experience.

'Data Trash' waswritten on the Net, the writers haven't seen each other face to face infive years. "We experienced that there was a third person, the third mind, who wrote the book. The computer had come alive and 'Data Trash'was the result."

'Data Trash'begins with two fundamental rejections: the techno-utopian stance takenby Rheingold in his book 'Virtual Communities' (not the same Rheingoldthan after his 'Hot Wired' experience) and Neil Postman's neo-conservative position. On the other hand, it critiques all brands oftechnological determinism, who state that we don't have choices. Thereare real contradictions and lots of fractures, even in the supposedlyclosed virtual class. For Kroker/Weinstein, the field of politicalcontestation is wide open.

'Data Trash' is a antropology of a dying species and the emergenceof a new species, which is purely telematic. It is not only the storyof class quislings and class collaborators, but it is against the humanspecies itself. Selling the human race out to a technoculture whichexists with such intensity that it's existance comes alive as a newspecies."trash

Data Trash: The Theory of the Virtual Class
According to Arthur Kroker
In conversation with Geert Lovink
Arthur Kroker, Canadian media theorist and is the author of 'ThePossessed Individual','Spasm' and 'Hacking the Future'. Over the pastyears he, together with Marilouise Kroker, were often in Europe andmade appearances at Virtual Futures, V-2, Eldorado/Antwerpen, etc. Recently, they have also been discovered in German-speaking countries. Both are noted for their somewhat compact jargon, which made theirmessage appear to drown somewhat in overcomplex code. But "DataTrash"`(1994) changed all that. The long treck through the squashydiscourses had not been in vain. Firmly rooted in European philosophy,yet not submerged, Arthur Kroker has found his topic: the virtualclass.trash

Forget About Getting More Net Content; First We Have To Get Rid of
All the Garbage
By Jonathan Friendly
It has become commonplace to see alongside highways signs announcing that this or that organization -- the Kiwanis, the Girls Scouts, Something Manufacturing -- has adopted a couple of miles of road and is keeping it cleaned up. Occasionally you can see orange-vested representatives of the organization wielding spiked poles to collect the trash along the shoulder.
But perhaps we oughtn,t to be too hasty. It's trash, but it's OUR trash. A clean-up effort could succeed too well, wiping out the cyberglyphs that might be the electronic Rosetta Stone for deciphering the birth of the Internet.trash

Portrait of the virtual intellectual
On the design of the public cybersphere
By Geert Lovink
Lecture at 100 days program of Documenta X Kassel, July 13, 1997
We need to examine the context of the emerging VI -- the relationshipbetween the computer-literate intellectual and the hard- and softwareindustry. Arthur Kroker and Michael Weinstein did so in their remarkabledescription of the 'virtual class' in their book 'Data Trash' (1994).This emerging class, with its own 'Wired' ideology, might also have itsown 'organic' intellectuals. However our VI is more than just aspokesperson for the new media industry and the battalions of 'digitalartisans' infeodated to it.trash

    More McLuhanite Garbage
    by John Horvath

As net critique becomes more refined, so too is the hype and Americanegocentrism that permeates the writings of Internet utopians. A casein point is Luis Soares essay "The User is the Content"<http://www.terravista.pt/AguaAlto/1072>. Reading between the lines,Soares' essay turns out to be nothing more than an elaborate piece ofpropaganda designed to sell the "Internet dream" (also known as theCalifornian Ideology) to an audience apparently more critical than theaverage user.

Many have already come to the conclusion, eloquently put byAndersen Consulting (Electronic Publishing: Strategic Developments forthe European Publishing Industry towards the Year 2000 (ExecutiveSummary) <http://www2.echo.lu/info2000/eu/projects.html>), that "theInternet will be the cheap mass medium for commodity content and commercials." In fact, many would argue that it's already that way.Hence, within the phrase "the user is the content", the content hasbecome merely the trash upon which marketing strategies is being builtfor big businesstrash
