My presentation went on this morning and was quite well received although there was no times for questions and discussion. I adressed the changes to social spheres , most notably the public sphere due to the impact of ICT. My points can be seen on my site: www.netdemocracy.dk soon as I am going to upload my presentation.

It is Sunday and the fifht conference of the Association of Internet Researchers has just started here in Sussex. I opened by listening to a panel on the consequences of wireless Internet access. It seems as if the users will not necessarily exploit the possibilities even though they are there.

Today it is the 35th anniversary of the first ARPANET data transmission and thereby the birth of the Internet.
A lot has happened since then but it is one of these technological inventions which is really worth a celebration!
Happy Birthday, Internet!

A new survey by Cable & Wireless has found that broadband users get more and more impatient not even on the Internet but also in the physical world. Especially the males don't want to wait long in a queue etc. I, personally, know it from my self. Another example how the virtual world affects our physical experience. Interesting!

In the Danish newspaper "Politiken" I have just seen an article on the spread of mobile phone technologies in Uganda. Their success is due to the fact that it is much cheaper to establish a mobile network than to dig cables into the ground.

Greetings here from Edinburgh. The weather is nice and people are protesting the US war in the park nearby. I am attending the ECPR conference here and have just presented my paper on social capital and online political participation which was well received. I will stay here for a little while as we are going round the Scottish Highlands when the conference ends on Wednesday.

It seems as if a war is inevitable. Clear enough, Saddam is the Hitler of the 21st century but it is unacceptable to attack without a clear UN resolution. The stupid maniac in the White House (yes: George Wanker Bush) is probably only interested in the oil of Iraq. There is no clear evidence that Iraq has any links with terrorism.

I am working hard on a book chapter for an American antology. Research methods for online communities, it is truly challenging as I am including thoughts of Niklas Luhmann.
