Visitors then see the Web as primarily a set of tools which deliver or manipulate content (this can include the content of a conversation because, as mentioned, they are happy to accept the Web as a useful conduit for interpersonal communication). This content is often distanced as far as possible from personal opinion (unless a competent authority is in evidence or a pre\u2013existing off\u2013line relationship). In effect, the \u2018non\u2013referenced\u2019 or non\u2013expert opinion and notions such as the wisdom of the crowd are avoided. Ultimately to Visitors the Web is simply one of many tools they can use to achieve certain goals; it is categorized alongside the telephone, books, pen and paper and off\u2013line software. It is not a \u2018place\u2019 to think or to develop ideas and to put it crudely, and at its most extreme, Visitors do their thinking off\u2013line. So Visitors are users, not members, of the Web and place little value in belonging online.<\/p>\n
Residents, on the other hand, see the Web as a place, perhaps like a park or a building in which there are clusters of friends and colleagues whom they can approach and with whom they can share information about their life and work. A proportion of their lives is actually lived out online where the distinction between online and off\u2013line is increasingly blurred. Residents are happy to go online simply to spend time with others and they are likely to consider that they \u2018belong\u2019 to a community which is located in the virtual. They have a profile in social networking platforms such as Facebook or Twitter and are comfortable expressing their persona in these online spaces. To Residents, the Web is a place to express opinions, a place in which relationships can be formed and extended. While they use \u2018tools\u2019 such as online banking and shopping systems they also use the Web to maintain and develop a digital identity. Since they also undertake many of the activities that Visitors do, their residency is an additional layer of interaction and activity. When Residents log off, an aspect of their persona remains. This could be in many forms ranging from status updates to social networking platforms, to artifacts in media sharing sites or opinions expressed in blog posts or blog comments.<\/p>\n
Residents see the Web primarily as a network of individuals or clusters of individuals who in turn generate content. Value online is assessed in terms of relationships as well as knowledge. Residents do not make a clear distinction between concepts of content and of persona. A blog post is as much an expression of identity as it is a discussion of particular ideas. The fact that Wikipedia has been authored collectively is not a concern, what is important is how relevant the information they find is to their particular needs.” (White & Le Cornu 2011, Section 4)<\/p>\n
When reading it my thoughts was drawn to a sociology classic book but Norbert Elias from 1965 about two other ideal types “Established” and “Outsiders”. I see many parallels between Elias and White \/ Le Cornu because they are both focused on a space. Elias is focusing on a residential area while white and Le Cornu are focusing on digital platforms and milieus and as I see it the distinction between physical space and digital space as well as physical actions and digital action are becoming much more blurred which also makes Elisas idea about established an outsiders applicable to the digital spaces. I also agree with Lars B Ohlsson’s (2003) critique towards all these terms that are used to describe the positions of different groups and individuals, eg. deviation, marginalization, segregation, integration, inclusion and exclusion. He argue that “Even if the the terminology aids us in giving everyday life a manageable structure and meaning, it also work as a tool of stigma and to keep large groups outside society, not least in research agendas. By using the terminology as\u00a0structuring devices and analytical categories to describe and understand\u00a0processes of exclusion do we add, although not purposely, to the\u00a0formulation of the boundaries of exclusion.\u00a0To understand these processes it is necessary to begin within us.\u00a0By viewing our own position and behavior it will soon be obvious that it is about Us and Them.” ( Ohlsson 2023. p.30).<\/p>\n
My pedagogical reflection it as follows:\u00a0 How do we go about analyzing different actions online without excluding Visitors\/outsider or whatever we cant to call them?<\/p>\n
