I’m working on a paper for POLI 580 today, and this little video popped up in my Twitter feed explaining the network structure of Occupy – just as my paper talks about the network structure of politics on the Internet. Sometimes, life is just like that.

And from my paper:

The networked society has changed how people interact with each other, and those that “fold technology into their lives” (Castells, 11) are most successful in making new connections as well as reinforcing the old. The networked society is not isolationist or antisocial; it is made up of multiple points of connection for individuals.

Now, back to my paper…..
