Accumulation, circulation, association: economies of information in online spaces

J. Johnson-Eilola

Abstract

Defines and critiques three cultural models for structuring and using information: accumulation, circulation and association. In these "economies", information is something to be hoarded (as accumulation), moved (circulation) or connected to other pieces of information (association). By examining the ways information acts like financial economies of the past, present and near-future, technical communicators gain crucial social and political perspectives normally not considered in the design and use of information spaces.
