Conclusion
Finally, it is well to remember that although Telepolis suggests the collective, the heterogeneous, the spatial, and the visual, none of these qualities is inevitable or inherent in electronic technology. Human technologies may not be infinitely malleable, as social constructionists such Steve Woolgar believe, but it is surely true that electronic technology can be constructed in several different ways. Telepolis is one such construction. The information superhighway, which privileges the individual user exploring a relatively homogeneous information space, is another construction. And we could also imagine (and indeed some are trying to create) computer constructions in which sound dominates and almost excludes the visual.
