Building Shared Structures of Meaning

Janet's words kick off our discussion. At the end of her introduction to The New Media Reader, she returns to Vannevar Bush's speculations:

> "now that we have shaped this a new Medium of Expression, *how may we think?* We may, if we are lucky and mindful enough, Learn To Think Together by building shared structures of meaning. How will we escape the labyrinth of deconstructed ideologies and self-reflective signs? We will, if we are lucky enough and mindful enough, invent communities of communication at the widest possible bandwidth and smallest possible granularity." –– Janet H. Murray, Inventing the Medium.[1]
