I am interested in studying sociocultural issues surrounding the
use of information technology. Particularly, how the use of information
technology impacts how people organize their activities and minds and vice
versa. Presently, the use of distributed communication network are less
successful than it should be: and in my opinion, most successes have be
random attempts. The problem with networking is that the links in
networks increase exponentially as the number of people involved
increases linearly. People are then bombarded by communication and all
these links and relationships that need to be managed. Information
accumulates without progressive knowlegde.
We must understand how our minds work in such environment, so as
to foster the development of shared knowledge and activities and create a
true distributed learning or working community.
