Patrice Flichy & Social Imaginaries

Within Patrice Flichy’s reading, the Internet is the main focus. In more depth,  Flichy discusses the concept of “Internet imaginaries” and the role they play with new technology within Western societies, more so North America. Overall, it can be debated that in fact our society is leaning towards technological era. I thought that this reading was very interesting because it looks at the development of Internet Imaginaries progressing in our world yet often we don’t acknowledge this change and progression. Another reading that I found connected with Flichy’s was Robin Mansell. Mansell focuses on “social imaginaries” within an Information society. After World War II, wealthy  societies grew into information societies. With the grow of information and the Internet, the world began to change. We have to ask ourselves do we develop different personalties/imaginaries based on the use of the Internet/technology?
