Beta Symposium 0.1

The questions that will be used a prompts for discussion for this weeks symposium:

  • What is the practicality of design fiction for people who are not designers? What separates it from science fiction? (some debate about the second part of this question, as some believed it is already answered in the readings, but in the end they wanted to keep it there)
  • As content producers, is it more important to speculate far into the future or pay more attention to the present?
  • How is a network influenced by its constituents, and how does it influence them?
  • What do you think the future of networked media will involve, and how will it benefit us?
  • How have mobile devices changed the way blogs are produced and consumed?
