One of these improvements was the developments of canals and steamboats, which allowed farmers to “sell what has previously been unsalable [sic]” and resulted in a “substantial increase in [a farmer’s] ability to earn income” (Danhof 5). This improvement allowed the relations between the rural and urban populations to strengthen, resulting in an increase in trade. The urban population (defined as having over 2,500 inhabitants) in the northern states increased rapidly after 1820.1 This increase accompanied the decrease in rural populations, as farmers who “preferred trade, transportation, or ‘tinkering’” to the tasks of tending to crops and animals found great opportunities in the city (Danhof 7). Trade and transportation thus began to influence farming life significantly. Before 1820, the rural community accounted for eighty percent of consumption of farmers’ goods (Hurt 127). With the improvements in transportation, twenty-five percent of farmers’ products were sold for commercial gain, and by 1825, farming “became a business rather than a way of life” (128). This business required farmers to specialize their production and caused most farmers to give “less attention to the production of surplus commodities like wheat, tobacco, pork, or beef” (128). The increase in specialization encouraged some farmers to turn to technology to increase their production and capitalize on commercial markets (172).

In Cummings et al.’s (2002) summary article reviewing three empirical studies on online social relationships, it was found that CMC, especially email, was less effective than FtF contact in creating and maintaining close social relationships. Two of the three reviewed studies focusing on communication in non-Internet and Internet relationships mediated by FtF, phone, or email modalities found that the frequency of each modality’s use was significantly linked to the strength of the particular relationship (Cummings et al., 2002). The strength of the relationship was predicted best by FtF and phone communication, as participants rated email as an inferior means of maintaining personal relationships as compared to FtF and phone contacts (Cummings et al., 2002).

In Democracy and Other Neoliberal Fantasies, Jodi Dean argues that “imagining
a rhizome might be nice, but rhizomes don’t describe the underlying structure of real
networks,”1 rejecting the idea that there is such a thing as a nonhierarchical
interconnectedness that structures our contemporary world and means of communication.
Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, on the other hand, argue that the Internet is an
exemplar of the rhizome: a nonhierarchical, noncentered network—a democratic network
with “an indeterminate and potentially unlimited number of interconnected nodes [that]
communicate with no central point of control.”2 What is at stake in settling this dispute?
Being. And, knowledge and power in that being. More specifically, this paper explores
how a theory of social ontology has evolved to theories of social ontologies, how the
modernist notion of global understanding of individuals working toward a common
(rationalized and objectively knowable) goal became pluralistic postmodern theories
embracing the idea of local networks. Furthermore, what this summary journey of
theoretical evolution allows for is a consideration of why understandings of a world
comprising emergent networks need be of concern to composition instructors and their
practical activities in the classroom: networks produce knowledge.
