Abstract
Rodney Jones points out the collusion of governments and
corporations in an unregulated internet, as well as the
potential of participatory media for grassroots movements and
surveillance. He examines the discursive economies of social
network sites and their algorithms, the (partially justified)
replacement of experts by crowd wisdom, the (historical)
dialectic of quantification and narrativisation (especially
in clinical medicine), the self-tracking movement, the selfpresentation
on Facebook, and the the current role of (media)
literacy in the educational environment.
