What Makes a Community and does Tech Provides

First I don’t really understand what this is blog about after researching I figure it out that it’s a blog about what does technology provide to make a community. I think the role of technology in a post-modernist account is one of having created a condition which dissolves the very fundaments of modernity, universality and the stable referentiality of the sign.

This is the single most important effect of technology and the explorations of this effect often take precedence over questions of how this condition came about or how it is maintained. Paradoxically, while generally critical to the concept of a coherent reality, the reality of technology is, by and large, taken for granted and the ramifications of the newly created hyper-reality are presented as the privileged aspect from which the current situation must be understood.

In the Information Society technology and society do interpenetrate each other to such an extend that they cannot be separated anymore. Looking at society, one finds that technology plays a role in almost all of its aspects. By investigating technology one finds the social arrangement, those which it embodies and those in which it is applied. It is therefore necessary to think of technology and society at the same time as they spiral into and out of each other. To understand the role of technology it seems promising to conceptualize technology as a process in which society is reorganizing itself into ever new forms.
