Description:
Sharing is central to how we live today: it is what we do online; it is a model of economic behaviour; and it is also a type of therapeutic talk. Sharing embodies positive values such as empathy, communication, fairness, openness and equality. The Age of Sharing shows how and when sharing became caring, and explains how its meanings have changed in the digital age.

But the word sharing also camouflages commercial or even exploitative relations. Websites say they share data with advertisers, although in reality they sell it, while parts of the sharing economy look a great deal like rental services. Ultimately, it is argued, practices described as sharing and critiques of those practices have common roots. Consequently, the metaphor of sharing now constructs significant swathes of our social practices and provides the grounds for critiquing them; it is a mode of participation in the capitalist order
as well as a way of resisting it.

Drawing on nineteenth-century literature, Alcoholics Anonymous, the American counterculture, reality TV, hackers, Airbnb, Facebook and more, The Age of Sharing offers a rich account of a complex contemporary keyword. It will appeal to students and scholars of the internet, digital culture and linguistics.

Cute but not hinged at arms
Color: Porcini Tortoise, Size: 52-17-140
They were cute. I didn’t like that they weren’t hinged. They were harder to open and close. I didn’t look for this feature before I purchased.

Mis lentes son muy cómodos, y me gustan como lucen, vienen sin medidas yo los adecué con mi Optometrista. Se aflojan con el tiempo, pero compré una pinza que ajusta los tornillos…realmente lucen como nuevos.
