Digi-topia?

Here's a thought: Does the internet and the many online spaces/forums it provides (I'm thinking especially of SecondLife) offer utopic domains....digi-topias?? Is the internet a true commonwealth? Perhaps more of a capitalist/commonwealth hybrid (especially given how much money changes hands...or digi-hands...online)?

Food for thought for tomorrow's discussion on Thomas More.

  1. I would tend to say yes, the internet does provide a digi-topia... but in an escapist manner. (Which is not something that I necessarily advocate... but is definitely something to explore).
