Document Summary
How we don"t realize how many steps go into a system. There are so many things mediating you and the internet. Affective labour- its products are intangible but provide a feeling of ease, well-being, excitement, or passion. In- person services are often used to identify this kind of labour - the production, exchange, and communication are generally associated with human contact but this contact can be actual or virtual. Assemblage- we don"t tend to think about everything we are made of, we think of ourselves as one . Becomes more problematic now because our world is more complex - we cling to simplicity. Human is one node in an assemblage - not the centre. Deleuze and guattari thought about the forest single entity made up of numerous trees, or, numerous truths therefore any one tree is a product of an assemblage . Biotech- use of biology and computing to make products. Binary thought is characterized by being what others aren"t.
