Peter Kim offers an interesting observation on the way social networking relates to the qualities of Jeremy Bentham’s Panopticon and the insight offered by Michel Foucault that Bentham’s design served as an exemplar for organizational discipline in the industrial age.

He also points out that the design of modern cube farms in offices not only foster collaboration but also afford observation by managers and peers.
