Читать книгу The Digitally Divided Self: Relinquishing our Awareness to the Internet - Ivo Ph.D. Quartiroli - Страница 5

I am not unaware that the reflexive form of the plural pronoun we is ourselves. But the immediacy of Ivo Quartiroli’s writing in our collective lives needs to be absorbed by the reader in a personal way. Rather than employ the second person you, which to me always feels slightly accusatory, I have tried to emphasize the importance of each reader’s self-reflection on what almost everyone around him or her (to be painfully correct) is likely doing. We are personally participating in a cultural phenomenon to which each of us must be alert. Therefore, I have chosen to follow Quartiroli’s choice of we with my singular invention ourself. We all are active on the stage he describes, but responsibility for awareness lies with the individual.
