"Though we may be competent at using many technologies, most of what we think we know about technology in general is false. Our error stems from the everyday conception of things as separate from each other and from us. In reality they belong to an interconnected network the nodes of which cannot exist independently qua technologies. What is more we tend to see technologies as quasi-natural objects, but they are just as much social as natural, just as much determined by the meanings we give them as by the causal laws that rule over their powers. The errors of common sense have political consequences in domains such as medicine and environmental policy. In this talk I will summarize many of the conclusions philosophy of technology has reached reflecting on the reality of our technological world. "

Gary Hall is a professor of Media and Performing Arts at Coventry University and author of Digitize This Book!: The Politics of New Media, or Why We Need Open Access Now. He is co-founder of the Open Humanities Press (OHP), founding co-editor of the open access journal Culture Machine, and editor of the OHP series Liquid Books."

The commons, said Wolcher, citing Linebaugh, is not simply a conflict over property rights. It is about “people expressing a form of life to support their autonomy and subsistence needs.” The commons is a verb — “commoning.” It’s about “taking one’s life into one’s own hands, and not waiting for crumbs to drop from the King’s table.”
