Huh?

So Technocultural Anthropology eh? No not a typo or completely random mashing of words together this time, but rather, a fairly new area of academic study which is constantly being defined (even by me...right....now...). Basically this blog is something I have been thinking about doing for quite some time, and after a day of being immersed at a Technology and Communications Conference simply cannot put off any longer. I hope to look at how new technology is not only being used to create new cultures, but how the old offline cultures are interacting and being changed dramatically by emerging mediums. Additionally, I hope to explore how these new cultures which are largely digital in nature spill over to the non-digital world.
For a little more insight into Technoculture or the interactions between, and politics of, technology and culture simply go anywhere online or offline and take a step back and think about how the technology is affecting and shaping what you are observing. I will mostly be focusing on how online technologies are creating new and interesting communities and how these communities are ever-changing and also changing the places they touch, digital and non-digital alike.
