If only Foucault had lived to see the Internet

Been scavenging around the Internet, checking what the blogosphere has to say about Foucault. Here’s one that, in so few words, makes an interesting connection between Foucault’s dissatisfaction with information that passes through one “mainstream” (often-controlled) channel and the cacophony of voices and views powered by the Internet. If only Foucault had lived to see the Internet, I daresay he’d be quite satisfied… but at the same time disgruntled with, well, a lot of things. Oh well. Yet another thing to deconstruct (although I imagine he’d be quite averse to the term “deconstruct” too). :)
