手机和社交媒体的兴起，可能会与笼罩全球大部分地区的日益增长的异见氛围相结合。阿拉伯之春、英国骚乱、占领运动和许多其他抗议活动，以及所谓的“快闪族”，都是数字连接的个人在实体空间的大规模集会；最近它们已经成为了新的常态。技术在产生这种氛围方面的主要作用，部分是有效地将线上和线下联系起来。将这些视为独立空间的趋势，我称之为“数字二元论”，是错误的。相反，我认为数字和物理融合形成了“增强现实”。将数字的力量——创造和传播网络信息——与物理的力量——用有血有肉的人占据地理空间——联系起来，是我们现在有这种增强革命的易燃气氛的一个重要部分。
The rise of mobile phones and social media may come to be historically coupled with a growing atmosphere of dissent that is enveloping much of the globe. The Arab Spring, UK Riots, Occupy and many other protests and so-called "flash-mobs" are all massive gatherings of digitally-connected individuals in physical space; and they have recently become the new normal. The primary role of technology in producing this atmosphere has, in part, been to effectively link the on and the offline. The trend to view these as separate spaces, what I call "digital dualism", is faulty. Instead, I argue that the digital and physical enmesh to form an "augmented reality". Linking the power of the digital-creating and disseminating networked information-with the power of the physical-occupying geographic space with flesh-and-blood bodies-is an important part of why we have this current flammable atmosphere of augmented revolution.
