2. Outline Boom to bust (to boom?) a roller-coaster Constructs (multisense, synchronicity, linearity, switching, interactivity, logs, immersion, value of information) Projects (online auctions and social facilitation, cyberarcheology, value of information experiments, sharing information simulations)

3. Out of the Storm? Electronic Commerce E-Business E-(Distance) Learning E-Culture (books, radio, music, etc.) E-Journalism E-Government, E-Democracy E-War (E-, in Hebrew, is a negation … in Latin something else…E Pluribus Unum)

4. Developments (I)  Telecomm/Compunications are fast  Voluminous  Inexpensive  Attractive  They are fun…  (Therefore?) Widely and rapidly diffused

5. Developments (II)  Telecomm / Compunications are Addictive (?)  Isolating, alienating?  Depressing? See Stanford (Nie) and Carnegie Mellon (Kraut et al.) studies

6. Boom to Bust (to boom?) Millenial rhetoric? “Declensionistic narratives”? Roller coaster mentalities, realities?

7. Booms and Busts Foci Disintermediation Reintermediation Internet and e-commerce stock bubble Digital divides: gender, age, socio-economic strata,English linguistic dominance? Technological determinism “content is king” Fun or power(ful)? “All your base are mine” Individual effects of CMC: - “addiction”? - alienation and loneliness? Too invasive and overdone encroaching on privacy Online journalism Push or pull Wireless and bandwidth gold rush
