>> INTERNET GENERATIONS
>>
>> The Internet has been a rapidly evolving phenomenon, so much so that we
>> may talk about generations of the Internet. With everything moving faster
>> in 'Internet time,' we have arguably spanned many technological Internet
>> generations within a single human generation: from the birth of computing
>> to the first online communications; from the beginnings of email to the
>> enriched worlds of chat, virtual worlds and mobile text messaging; from
>> the workplace to home and school; from optional to all-but-mandatory; and
>> from mainframe to desktop to laptop to mobile devices.
>>
>> We can also talk about contextual Internet generations, from the early
>> pioneers who count themselves among those communicating online before the
>> 1980s; to the early adopters of the 1980s in university and proprietary
>> systems; to latecomers finding the need to adopt computing and technology
>> use as part of their daily work; to the current and coming generations
>> that will not know a time without a computer in the household, a mobile
>> phone in their hand, and a lap- or palmtop and an MP3 player an essential
>> part of their daily wear.
>>
>> This massive change in technologies, and in work and social practices
>> suggests many avenues of interest for Internet research.
>>
>> CALL FOR PAPERS
>>
>> We call for papers from a wide perspective of disciplines, methodologies,
>> and communities. We invite papers that address the theme of Internet
>> Generations including TOPICS such as:
>>
>>
>> - Histories of the Internet: human, social, technical, and/or cultural
>> stories and histories
>> - Internet use by generation, e.g., by era of technology, by children and
>> seniors, or by age of user, etc.
>> - Individual, group, organizational, or community use, adoption, or
>> diffusion of the Internet and its practices
>> - Development in use of languages, new vocabularies, social roles, rules,
>> and etiquette
>> - Societal impacts of and on the Internet and its evolution
>> - Perspectives on the Internet and social change in a changing world
>> - Internet expansion across divides, borders, nationalities, etc.
>> - Mapping the course of Internet connectivity
>> - Prospects for the future: Next generation Internet
>>
>> We invite submissions for papers, panels, and demonstrations of work on
>> topics related to the conference theme of Internet Generations. Sessions
>> at the conference will be established that specifically address the
>> conference theme. We particularly call for innovative, exciting, and
>> unexpected takes on the conference theme. We also welcome submissions on
>> topics that address social, cultural, political, economic, and/or
>> aesthetic aspects of the Internet beyond the conference theme. In all
>> cases, we welcome disciplinary and interdisciplinary submissions as well
>> as international collaborations from both AoIR and non-AoIR members.
>>
