Culture et médias: « From Consumers to Designers and Active Contributors »

Une longue réflexion de Jim McGee sur un extrait particulièrement intéressant de Gerhard Fischer dont voici un extrait:

« The fundamental challenge for computational media is to contribute to the invention and design of cultures in which humans can express themselves and engage in personally meaningful activities. Cultures are substantially defined by their media and tools for thinking, working, learning, and collaborating. […] Unfortunately, a large number of new media are designed from the perspective of seeing and treating humans primarily as consumers. […] the possibility for humans to be and to act as designers (in cases in which they desire to do so) should be accessible not only to a small group of « high-tech scribes but rather to all interested individuals and groups. »
