Interesting diagram describing three types of mediasphere: the logosphere (writing), the graphosphere (printing), and the videosphere (audio-visual). I, of course, have my own column, which I reproduce here (attach to the right of the other three columns:
Netosphere
Group ideal: pattern (network, community)
Figure of time: flow (the river)
Canonical generation: the next generation (signifying change)
Spiritual class: hackers (creators, programmers, writers, rebels)
Legitimating reference: The connected (because it's worth sharing)
Driving force: recognition (connectivism)
Status of the individual: Creator (to be followed)
Identifying myth: the meme (eg. One Red Paperclip)
Maxim for personal authority: 'it was recommended' (Amazon reviews, Google PageRank, etc)
Basis of Symbolic Authority: the wisdom of crowds (the emergent)
Subjective centre of gravity: the mind/brain (neural network)
