Years of Poems and Spirits

1.卜卫：The limitation of current Internet study: the limitation of pure quantative approach->standard survey questionaire->uniform view point->mainstream vs. marginal circle (边缘群体）: e.g. question peasant women: what TV show you like most, answer: martial arts. Urban user vs. rural user (minority) of Net Bar.
2. Guo Liang: Entertainment Super Highway
– marginality: what peaked the most is also what has been lacking:
e.g. more people use Net to connect with colleagues and friends than with family members; more people find Net useful to improve governance and politics than other nations; more people with similar political views connection through the Net.

卡尼曼：《回到边泌》；青木昌彦
