the topic today - introduced by the method of self-observation in the group - was the motivation to communicate. we explored the question of why humans communicate, briefly touching on evolutionary aspects, and discussing in some depth different motivations to communicate - for example to transfer information, to achieve a psychological equilibrium, humour..
one thing is still unclear though, and that is how we can apply motivational classification to the different types of Internet platforms (see the entry for 15-11-07, or see the Wikipedia article on Web 2.0). everyone is invited to contribute their thoughts on this, so that we can begin to understand the "why" behind media development, and look at coevolution from a direct human standpoint.

Grundsätzlich habe ich festgestellt, daß ich das Internet nutze, sei es myspace, studivz, email, auctions, Kommerz, Video-Sharing oder Foren, um meinen Handlungsspielraum in irgendeiner Weise zu erweitern. Das einzige Argument, das nicht zu tun ist die Tatsache, daß man sich bei jeder Nutzung in irgendeiner Weise für etwas "öffnet", das man eigentlich gar nicht kennt.
