1. Datacloud: Toward a New Theory of Online Work Johndan Johnson-Eilola

2. Trajectories ownership rights of ideas and the reworking of them Demonstrates a major concept of the manipulation process. From suitable revisions, where the sender is able to articulate to a receiver information.

3. Historical Trajectory office technologies A place where everything is bad and there was an ongoing construction of use and change

4. Articulation Theory An articulation is a process of creating a connection. We learn this from notable authorities that workable social theories are the trajectories of cultural contexts and when connected between two different elements, under certain conditions brings things together.  Ideology is structured like language(25) changes over time  No necessary correspondences, but no necessary non- correspondences(26) dual nature of break down and construction  Local rather than global/universal  Open to change

5. (re)Articulation Recursive figure on (re) articulation: The disarticulation is where we interrupt a part of history in the space as to suggest other meaning then (re) articulate a meaning. I think movies referenced in the text show fragmentation that often expressed a good example of a (disarticulation ) smoothing over an interface to portray a reconstruction process of cultural forces. 20 April 2008

6. Symbolic-Analytic Work Symbolic-Analytic is the other category or second component of this frame work construct to manipulate symbols to solve problems, i.e. Identify, rearrange, circulate, abstract, and broker information.(18) Principle work materials are information and symbols (secret language), their principle products are reports, plans, and proposals Frequently work online, either communicating with peers (or manipulating symbols with the help of various computer tools,(23) Job titles include investment banker, research scientist, lawyer, management consultant, strategic planner, and architect.(19) 20 April 2008

7. Models of Interfaces (37) interfacelocation of working/learning 50s-60shardwiredoutside interface: education, training (few manuals) 60s-70spunch cardsoutside interface: education, training, manuals, courses 70s-80scommand-line interfaceoutside interface or at second-level deep in interface: education, training, manuals, courses, man pages 80s-90sgraphical interfaceinto interface: shifting toward limited interface (surface) 90s-00sspatial online (begin datacloud) interface expands beyond physical boundaries to allow social (online) communication 00s and beyond Relating to space spatial/hybrid, information- saturated workspaces boundaries of interface break apart to support movement (including arrangement, eddies, flows) not only social/online but also local microcontext 20 April 2008

8. Hardwired Learning(36) Interface was a physical connection and output device such as a wired teletype. Early programmers were apprentice –type relations. 20 April 2008

15. Teaching Interface: dense, surfaced Breakdown of boundaries to interface (information work moves out) 20 April 2008

16. Out of the Interface: Office Space Localized, functional spaces “Work with … stuff.” Spaces connect, overlap Information moves from space to space 20 April 2008

18. Reading the Web 2D Layout of Page Multi-linear (macrostructure) But still linear Texts are relatively fixed and distant (uninhabited)

19. From Modern to Postmodern Architectures(71) Attempts at control failing Attempts at containment failing Move toward postmodern information 20 April 2008

20. Writing the Web 2D Layout of Page 2D Layout of Textspace (macrostructure) Time Colonized Writing Becomes More Spatial

22. Listening to Music iTunes Simple Playlist – Linear – Receptive Smart Playlist – Contingent – More spatial – Music collection becomes a database 20 April 2008

23. Conclusions: Where Do You Want to Build Today?  Understanding the mutual construction of tech development and use  Moving beyond unity without ending in fragmentation  Building a sense of history without determinism  Moving from a passive to an active reading/using subject
