	Technorealism FAQ
		Technorealism is an attempt to assess the social and political implications of technologies so that we might all have more control over the shape of our future.
		Technorealism is a centrist approach when it comes to (A) considering how people respond to technology (between techno-utopianism and techno-luddism), and (B) how to manage technology's relationship between the market and the state (between libertarians and interventionists).
		Technorealism asserts that we must pay attention as much to design and development as to use, and that therefore technology decisions should be analyzed critically and skeptically in public debate, and, in some instances, should even be subject to democratic scrutiny.

	Technorealism: Beyond the Hype (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The subject of the conference, held last Thursday, was a document called "Technorealism: An Overview", drafted primarily by David Shenk, Andrew Shapiro, and Steven Johnson, and signed initially by 12 writers covering the social and political impacts of digital technology, including myself.
		At best, I hope that technorealism proves to be not the end product of an exclusive conversation between the authors of a document, but an excuse to begin more inclusive conversations about the social ramifications of technology and policy.
		For another example of technorealism applied, with no buzzword attached, I'd refer readers to my colleague Pete Danko's examination of the conventional wisdom that older programmers can write their own tickets in a computing industry panicked by the Y2K bug.

	TECHNOREALISM
		This document seeks to articulate some of the shared beliefs behind that consensus, which we have come to call technorealism.
		Technorealism demands that we think critically about the role that tools and interfaces play in human evolution and everyday life.
		Integral to this perspective is our understanding that the current tide of technological transformation, while important and powerful, is actually a continuation of waves of change that have taken place throughout history.

		But technorealism has not been without it's critics; much of it comes from writers and thinkers who've been online longer than much of today's Net population.
		The principles of technorealism, though they tend toward the self-important, are quite sensible.
		Now that the possibiliites have been seen, the co-founders of technorealism hope people will move to adopt the tenets of tecnorealism into their own lives, adapting them as necessary, knowing this next stage is in their own hands.

	CybDem: Technorealism?
		I always regretted that technorealism seemed rather to fizzle like just another dot.com fad -- but many of the figures who were conspicuous among the technorealists in its brief blaze are still doing quite valuable and interesting work I would describe as broadly technoprogressive: Paulina Borsook, Douglas Rushkoff, Andrew Shapiro.
		Nevertheless, I'll admit that I am leery of the temptation so many technocentric commentators and advocates seem to have of organizing "movements" under the heading of "principles" published in "founding documents" that "members" are expected to sign off on.
		Apart from all this, I just don't think that technorealism provided anything like a dependable home for progressive conversations and campaigns, because it seemed to lodge itself in a "realism" that defined itself as little more than a "moderation" between whatever passes for the extremes of technological discourse in any given moment.

		Lawrence Lessig, a law professor at Harvard who served as one of the moderators at the event, said that some of technorealism's goals recalled legal realism, an American political movement in the early 1900s that encouraged more critical thinking about regulating economic markets.
		The idea of technorealism grew informally during the last few months -- over lunchtime conversations and e-mail messages -- among a group of friends who decided that they needed to coin a new term to describe their beliefs.
		Discussion of technorealism continues on an on-line forum sponsored by Feed magazine, and the manifesto's creators invite anyone on the Internet to sign their statement of principles.

		The outlook of technorealism is neither technophoic nor technoecstatic.This group urges a careful and critical approach to adapting electronic technology to education and other social applications.Schools aren't,they point-out, going to be miraculously saved by more computers- we need to figure out how instructional technology should be best used and made to address human values.
		The overflow of information brought to us by the new electronic rivers doesn't automatically yield to us truth or stable knowledge,claims the technorealists.Amongst other things, the broader informational bandwidth provides a platform for extremist and nonesensical viewpoints, as well as electronically-armed marketeers and e-commerce conmen.

		So here are the eight principles of technorealism, a little bit obscured on the left, but that's appropriate, I think.

	Wired News: Digital Dream Team Calls for 'Technorealism'
		Based on an eight-point policy plan drafted by participants Andrew Shapiro, David Shenk, and Steven Johnson, the goal of these self-proclaimed "technorealists" is to implement a more mature phase of discussion about technology; for instance, calling on the government to protect free expression on the Internet while simultaneously asking for increased online copyright protection.
		An important component of technorealism is the belief that the Internet is revolutionary, but not utopian; that computer money allocated to schools will not magically engender better test scores.
		This young, and perhaps transitional, philosophy of technorealism has already drawn interest from many sides.

	Radio Story: Questioning Technology Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Technorealism is a movement that started in 1998, after two technology writers, David Schenk and Andrew Sharpiro had lunch one day in New York City.
		They started talking, and realized soon that they shared an opinion about that the way technology is represented in the media—that it tends to be viewed in a fl or white context—as wonderful or horrible, with no middle ground.
		This in itself illustrates one of the big ironies of the Internet—that this seemingly isolating technology often has the ability to bring together people who may not have found the forum to share their views beforehand.

	The Golden Hammer » Blog Archive » Technorealism
		Back in the day (1998) a bunch of concerned people came together to write a sort of manifesto on technology (mainly regarding the Internet).
		It’s called Technorealism, and it’s essentially a bunch of principles regarding the way the authors think technology should be handled.
		Like most statements of principle over one paragraph in length, I’m not sure I agree with it 100%, but many of the concerns I hold are echoed here.
