Summary: What are the norms and values of different communication infrastructures?
[mb: bridge from *bot logic* to this exercise]
[mb: add question: What kind of communication infrastructures do we use in our everyday lives?]
What are the norms and values of different communication infrastructures?
What are the norms of the conversations?
What are the norms of the conversations? [mb: rephrase]
And who decides what is normal?
And who decides what is normal and sets the norms?
To dive into these question and further explore how communicative infrastructures are transforming and being transformed by different groups, we will now switch mode and work on 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, mailinglists, etc.

# Why an exercise?
Doing an exercise will create space to engage with the term *digital infrapunctures* in a playful way, 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 take some time to focus on a specific context, to zoom in and work with a specific situation in mind.

[note: insert prototypes as arguments]
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.
