Hey Michel, here's a working draft for section 3 of the Routledge book. Feel
free to distribute:

Section 3: Technology, innovation, and participatory networks

Section editor: Daniel Araya


 Developments in information and communication technologies (ICTs) not only
frame globalization but are changing the format and density of the flows of
knowledge, research and innovation. Over the past four decades, ICTs have
been instrumental in the development of new modes of work, play and
learning. Social networks like Facebook, LinkedIn, flickr, Second Life,
World of Warcraft, Wikipedia, Ning and YouTube are generating new models of
production and consumption that are changing the rules of commercial
industry. Shifts away from top-down, command-and-control systems, and
towards participatory collaboration have become critical to emerging social
and business platforms. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks have become a
particularly important factor in this process. Moving beyond the one-to-many
production regimes undergirding industrialization, P2P networks are enabling
participatory innovation. Networks significantly lower the barriers to
design and distribution, and transform traditional notions of authority and
expertise. Serving as platforms for user participation, networks are now an
important organizing logic for economic and cultural innovation. This
section explores these trends in terms of varied themes including:

   - Open Science, Open Learning and Open Innovation
   - Cyberinfrastructure, Gaming and Digital Media Design
   - Distributed Information Systems, P2P Networks and Collective
   Intelligence
   - Cyberlearning Policy, E-Learning, and National Systems of Innovation
   - Creativity, Complexity, and Self-Organization
