“Business Model” and “Monetisation”: On the Uses of Buzzwords
This essay explores the function of corporate buzzwords by investigating the early histories of “business model” and “monetisation”. It analyses the terms as examples of managerial argot, and argues that at key moments in the formation of digital capitalism, the terms helped create a field of action where management communities could envision, discuss, and coordinate, in a safely depoliticised way, the fact that markets and property are not natur…
The Internet as a structure of feeling: 1992–1996
Between 1992 and 1996, the Internet went from being an experiment in connecting computers to being the inevitable next step in delivering the digital “revolution.” This change in perception was not just a recognition. It was an act of social construction, setting the stage for the major reorganisation of global communications over the next two decades. The Internet as we know it was constructed with a species of elite cultural imagination. Buildi…

Romancing the Internet: An Interview With Thomas Streeter
Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview * Steve Jobs--One Last Thing
After Steve Jobs's death on October 5, 2011, the U.S. media was flooded with commemorative stories about the “wizard of Silicon Valley.” The commentary lasted for months and echoed around the world. As often happens with a media storm, journalists and organizations eager for attention looked for ways to exploit the moment, in this case by building media products around old video interview material in their archives. It was this trend that brought…

The romantic self and the politics of internet commercialization
This essay looks at some examples of ways that certain pre-existing imaginary forms of 'selfhood' have been culturally mapped onto historically pivotal moments in the Internet's development. It focuses less on how technologies have shaped culture than on the reverse: on certain ways that culture has shaped society's embrace of the Internet. What the Internet is and will come to be, the essay suggests, is partly a matter of who we expect to be whe…
Notes towards a Political History of the Internet 1950-1983
Starling from the premise that communication regulation can be made up of informal shared systems of human belief, action and habit, this paper explores the informal political belief systems that helped regulate the Internet during its gestation, before 1984. The article focuses on the odd fact that a decentralised communication system with a strikingly libertarian ethos was created within a military-oriented research and development enterprise f…

The cable fable revisited: Discourse, policy, and the making of cable television
Around 1970, Utopian talk about cable television as a dramatic “new technology” swept through the policy arena. Analyzing the talk as a discursive practice demonstrates both the value of discourse analysis and some contradictions of the policy process. The talk treated cable as an autonomous technology and consequently obscured political and economic conditions while exaggerating cable's uniqueness; these characteristics encouraged the reconceptu…
