“Have you ever seen a friend or group of colleagues behave in a way which you knew was killing them slowly and decided in the interests of friendship to point this out to them?And have you ever found that the analysis of their behavior was met with scorn or disbelief and an increased desire by your friends to celebrate, and become even more committed to, these same behaviors?…..Then what you are witnessing may be something other than willfully irrational self-destruction. Instead, it can be hegemony in action.”

So, my point is whether we need to add to the Digital Citizenship concept, the term ‘critical’, which will allow our future citizens to resist technology not only to adopt. For example, would ‘facebook’ be so successful should users knew about the exploitation of the information by the company itsself? Would uses boycott tools and technology if they were suspicious of misuse? Would people be ready to question the idea of a cloud computing generation? and so on….

Thank you for reading my blurb …just ideas from a young academic in the field.
