To dive into these question and further explore how communicative infrastructures are transforming and being transformed by different groups, we will now switch mode [mb: mode?] and do a dialog-writing exercise.
So far, we encountered different computational infrastructures throughout this module. In this section we will focus specifically on *communicative infrastructures*, which for example include micro-blogging platforms, groupchats, discussion forums, or mailinglists. [mb: add "Places where groups of people come together for dicussions and to organise themselves".]
Doing an exercise will create space to engage with [mb: to activate?] the term *digital infrapunctures*, allowing us to speculate about possible bot interventions or infrapunctural actions.
While keeping in mind that different groups use different infrastructures in different ways, it is important to situate ourselves and work with a specific context in mind. We will take a moment to formulate this context first.
At the end of the exercise, you have written a script of a speculative dialog, that illustrates how a bot operates, what its attitude is and what it would say. The format of the dialog will challenge you to also think about possible responses and reactions to the bot.
