I found this article to be very interesting
and educational. It took information I already knew and taught me something
more about it. There are a couple of ideas I would like to touch base on. The
first is, "New media technologies became an integral part of not only the
discourse of modernization, but of global justice," (2). I find this
completely true. Things like medicine can be produced and provided throughout
the world faster, safer and more efficient because of technology. The next
thing is the definition of "technomedia". I now know that what Hulu
does and the Xbox with Netflix for instance fall under the category of
technomedia. The last thing that I found interesting and would like to point
out is a quote from Richard Dienst, "The dreams of television were already
global…televisaulity was immediately imagined as an all-encompassing
putting-into-view of the world," (9-10). Now people can view the world
from their own homes without having to move (Though it is not the same as being
in the place, people now get a visual of what Japan or Spain look like). The
television has also gone from making everything transparent in the world to
very complex and virtual with all these sci-fi and fantasy shows.
Jinxx21,
ReplyDeleteThis article about Technomedia was very different. Before i had started reading this article i had no clue what "Technomedia" was. They defined it for me as being how smooth communication through means of the internet on different technological devices. From what i read in this article that is what i had gotten to be the definition of Technomedia. You also had a good point in saying that medicine can be produced and provided throughout the world faster, safer and more efficient because of technology. I totally agree with that statement. Good Post!
