Global networks and mashups of people, things and data: anthropomorfization of technology and dehumanization of people

Publication

Abstract

Different strategies of anthropomorfization of technology and dehumanization of people desolve the difference between humans and non-humans. The article analyses the relation of such concepts to the classical notion of networks in Actor Network Theory and concentrates on the new phenomenon of so called mashups.
