The field of Science and Technology Studies provides three landmarks useful
for orienting the loose constellation of intellectual projects pursued under
the rubric of Internet Research. Interdisciplinarity, networks, and politics
offer a foundation from which social change and progress can be assessed. These
landmarks can help to examine the rapid change, micro and macro connections,
the constraints and possibilities for self organization that stand to reconfigure
the substance of power, class, and culture associated with the adoption of new
communication technologies.
