Introduction

Surely, in the past decade we perceive a vast spread of ICT. They are present in everyday life, we »collide« with them on every step we make ... Can you imagine living without them? Not me. And I am no technology enthusiast. However, they have become so common, natural and "unseen" that we rarely think about them, about their position in our lives … How do they "find" their way in our lives? Please note, that I do my best to avoid technical and/or social determinism.
I have created this blog for the purpose of the New Media and Society seminar and with the intention of answering these (i.e. above mentioned) general and additional, more specific questions. But its use can not be predicted.
Considering my personal interest and previous studies I am attracted by – in general – every aspect of social potential of new media. I will try to focus my interest on Internet and/or mobile telephone. My aim is to gather and explore the material and information and then extend it into knowledge. At the moment my field(s) of interest is (are) related to social networks, construction of identity, new form(s) of communication etc.
I believe I will be able to explore and deepen my field of interest through (hopefully) frequent posts on this blog and reading of seminar materials.
