Friend and colleague Scott Sayre has been passing along some interesting reading of late, including this article on “ Social Machines” by Wade Roush. Roush posits that technologies like blogging, text messaging, photo sharing, and web access from our phones are “ ushering us into a world of what could be called continuous computing–continuous in the usual sense of “ uninterrupted,” but also in the sense that it’s continuous with our lives.” His discussion of the social-software boom and it’s reliance on common devices such as mobile phones, computers, digital cameras, and portable music players echoes an approach or emphasis characteristic of several of Walker’s new media initiatives.
