‘A MOUTH TO SUCK YOUR SAP’ - Sam Austen
Technical innovations shape only a small part of computer and network culture. It doesn’t matter much who invented the microprocessor, the mouse, TCP/IP or the World Wide Web; nor does it matter what ideas were behind these inventions.
What matters is who uses them. Only when users start to express themselves with these technical innovations do they truly become relevant to culture at large.
‘The YoungGirl occupies the central kernel of the present system of desires.’
The Young-Girl is not always young; more and more frequently, she is not even female. She is the figure of total integration in a disintegrating social totality.
