Just to say what a perceptive and fascinating analysis from Eva about the
times of list-worry.

I am particularly interested in the notion of the imagined audience and
what happens when we lose confidence in our belief that that audience,
those potential partners in dialogue, are "really" still out there ...
truly a time for community-rebuilding... and like those many examples of
Latour's, a case where the real or imagined breakdown in functioning of a
taken-for-granted technology forces us to once again look inside the box
... where we learn more about how we and the technology become part of each
other ...

... maybe we should thank our gremlins for forcing us periodically to
reflect and renew, the very conditions for our growth.

JAY.
