some consequences of digital technology
• easy to copy
• easy to transmit (error correction)
• question identity
• question reality
• digital is “less natural” (e.g. writing)

Postmodernism
From Wikipedia: «[…] postmodernism is generally defined by an attitude of skepticism, irony, or rejection toward the meta-narratives and ideologies of modernism, often calling into question various assumptions of Enlightenment rationality.Consequently, common targets of postmodern critique include universalist notions of objective reality, morality, truth, human nature, reason, language, and social progress.»

Postmodernism
From Wikipedia (criticism): «Postmodernism, the school of 'thought' that proclaimed 'There are no truths, only interpretations' […] [creating a] distrust of the very idea of truth and their disrespect for evidence, settling for 'conversations' in which nobody is wrong and nothing can be confirmed […]» - Daniel Dennett

Background ideas
• Information age- and its consequences
• from atoms to bits
• from reality to representation of reality- (postmodernity)
![Page 60: The Digital Revolution - Fabio Grazioso](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012123/619ce7c2cf0fd922b322d9ce/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Some key concepts
• What is real? is matter more real than information?
• What is identity? what makes “you” really you?
• When we embrace a new technology, what we “trade” for it?
- What are the long-term consequences?
- The advantages are in the interest of who?
![Page 61: The Digital Revolution - Fabio Grazioso](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012123/619ce7c2cf0fd922b322d9ce/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Atoms and bits• Nicholas Negroponte (architect) founder and chairman
Emeritus of MIT Media Lab.
• Also founded the One Laptop per Child Association (OLPC)
• In 1992 first investor Wired Magazine. From 1993 to 1998 had a monthly column in the magazine. Basic theme: "Move bits, not atoms."
• Bestselling book Being Digital (1995).
• forecasts on how the interactive world, the entertainment world and the information world would eventually merge.
• belief that computers would make life better for everyone.
• Critics: failing to consider the historical, political and cultural realities with which new technologies should be viewed.
• Predicted wireless technologies.

Programmer Richard Stallman's 25-year crusade to banish proprietary software from planet Earth hasn't had many victories. Most recently, One Laptop Per Child stabbed RMS in the face by replacing its Stallman-approved freeware with a Windows operating system. OLPC head Nicholas Negroponte, who originally backed a free-software configuration, believes it's a necessary compromise to sell the low-price laptops in a Windows-centric world. Stallman's response compares Negroponte to a drug dealer handing out free samples at the playground.
