Hybrid Symposium IV – Hybrid Ecologies
Usman Haque (UK)
New techno-cultural ecologies arise from these renewed cycles of external innovation and internal assimilation. The 1.5 billion owners of a portable phone may not yet be aware of the fact that they can now put the world in their pocket. They may not be aware either that thus equipped, they are “always on.” It is important to examine what is happening now to time and space because of what the industry calls mobility. It is the culture of the Present: all times are now on the web and in the wireless condition. It is almost as if the world itself had turned “always on.”
