And we have a new one for you How Do You Like it So Far? crew!  This week Henry and Colin are joined by Howard Rheingold, author of Tools for Thought, Smart Mobs, Net Smart: How to Thrive Online, and who is credited with creating the term the “virtual community” in his 1993 book, and Patricia Lange, an author of Thanks for Watching: An Anthropological Study of Video Sharing on YouTube and Kids on YouTube: Technical Identities and Digital Literacies and an anthropologist and associate professor of critical studies and visual and critical studies at California College of the Arts.  They discuss their experiences in the online world from the 1980s to today.  Through their research, they dive deep into the early world of the Internet and how the idea of community was forged through bulletin board systems from the dial-up era.  They also discuss how early YouTubers were marginalized for their work which spurred their involvement in community-creation on the Web.  Listen in as Rheingold and Lange discuss their hopes for the future of Internet public spaces.
