Today the uses and appropriations of media can be seen as fused with everything people do, everywhere people are, everyone people aspire to be.</p>\n<p>There is no external to media life, so whatever we perceive as an escape hatch, passage out or potential delete key is just an illusion. In fact, we can only imagine a life outside media. Media are to us as water is to fish. This does not mean life is determined by media, it just suggests that whether we like it or not, every aspect of our lives takes place in media. Our lives are changing in a world where the divides between channels and content and between interpersonal and mediated communication are melting away. Our closeness to technologies helps to reveal the interdependency of all of us.</p>\n<p>In terms of what media communicate, it is tempting to point to governments, companies and corporations for pushing an unrelenting, ever-accelerating stream of content and experiences into our lives. However, most mediated communication comprises work done by you and me: through our endless texts, chats and emails, with our phone calls from anywhere at any time, and through our online social networks that function as the living archives of social reality.</p>\n<p>With the majority of the world population owning a mobile phone, telecommunication networks spanning almost every inch of the globe, sales figures of any and all media devices growing steadily worldwide, time spent with media up every year, and any and all media by default integrated into an always-on real-time live mode of being, an almost complete mediatization of society seems a somewhat self-evident observation.</p>\n<p>So rather than our being \"addicted\" to our tablets, mobile phones and video game players, we have a \"profoundly emotional relationship that we have with our media and through our media with other people. So it is a new & profound phenomenon created by the Internet.</p>\n<p>With the social media in place, stories about who we are, where do we belong and what really matters to the community that we think we are a part of, etc- that's the definition of every status update in this new generation. Nothing that we're doing now is new, it's just that it is more visible and everybody participates in it. It used to be that only a privileged few could paint the walls of the cave; now we're all doing it.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"fkw45nwjf","appParentAuthor":"littymumma","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
