The Midlife Crisis of the Network Society

Abstract: The network society is moving into some sort of middle age, or has at least normalized into the daily set of expectations people have for how they live their lives, not to mention consume news and information. In their adolescence, the technological and temporal affordances that have come with these new digital technologies were supposed to make the world better, or least they could have.

Future research should look further into positive and dark participation across diverse platforms.…”
