네트워크 사회의 개인권력과 디지털 노마드 개념에 대한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to conceptualize ‘Digital Nomad’ who has become an active participant in a policy-making process as opposed to staying merely as a passive policy consumer. Digital Nomad refers to various existence that enjoys a fluid life by using digital equipment or network. Instead of rejecting the viewpoint of technological advancement and emergence of digital nomad which emphasizes its quantitative accomplishments and performative improvements, this paper explores digital nomad’s living environment, characteristics and their socialization process in a firm belief that the embracement of other perspectives will complement the existing one. The value of digital nomad strongly appears in its connectivity, mobility, commonality­ and information provisions. Some of the ways to implement this technology are the spread of convergent contents, mass communication, personal expression and swift network-connectivity that involves loosely arranged double-cohorts and clouds. Therefore, the digital-society revolution contributes to a better participation of ordinary people, and more participation in various areas through the maker movement helps develop better problem-solving mechanisms. Despite the new entity and more voluntary-participation opportunities in the advent of new technology, some resistance from inside and outside during the transition still remains to be resolved. Some restrictions that make this challenge more difficult to solve are biases of value(or belief), non-face-to-face communication and a need for a highly organic platform structure.
