ABSTRACT

It’s hard to think of anything we do nowadays, from working on projects for work or school to socializing with friends, that is not somehow mediated through digital technologies. It’s not just that we’re doing ‘old things’ in ‘new ways’. Digital technologies are actually introducing new things for us to do like blogging, mashing, modding and memeing. Many of the practices that we will be discussing in this book simply didn’t exist just a few years ago.
