Esther Dyson on Networks - Dictionary of Arguments
Morozov I 123 Networks/Esther Dyson/Morozov: Dyson's thesis: "Organised political parties are not needed when open networks enable people to organise themselves ad hoc instead of being stuck in a rigid group".

The idea that "the Internet" can free us from political parties or solve profound structural problems in democratic politics dates back to the early 1990s. >Internet, >Internet culture, >Social networks, >Social media. 1. Quoted from Josh Quittner, “The Merry Pranksters Go to Washington,” Wired USA 2 (1994), http:// www.wired.com/ wired/ archive/ 2.06/ eff_pr.html._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
