[Air-l] social networking and habbo dot com

[Cristian Berrío Zapata]

I agree, Piget and constructivism are unexploded in the net. Maybe also
we can apply the notion of evolving stages to the formation of digital
self, as this I believe is critical in the problem of computational
competence and digital divide.

One question - I've been through Lacan and other psychoanalytical theory
- 
and wonder if anyone has applied Piaget for example to social networks 
etc.? There's a great deal to be learned there - for example in relation

to imaginary companions etc., which also connects to sociality.
