Introduction
“The digital world offers us many advantages, but if we yield to that world too completely we may lose the privacy we need to develop a self”. David Mikics

The digital revolution of the previous decade has released talent and creativity in an unparalleled way, with infinite opportunities. It has shaped new media openings and given everybody global access. As for example, Commercial radio is substituted by streaming radio stations like Last FM, MTV is replaced by sites like YouTube. Even print magazines have been substituted. Only a cell phone is needed to make one’s own video and also broadcast to a prospective Internet …show more content…

As a result, large population and groups are prohibited from exhausting these technologies.

• Digitalisation also generates new ways in which information can be misused as for example phishing, hacking are abuses of the digital technology (Piccirillo, 2011).

This seemingly inevitable evolution of digital technology in the field of media production, publishing has since infused in every aspect of the Media-Publishing World. The music industry and the film industry was completely reassembled through the process of digital democratization (Eng and Luff, 2011).With the progress of the film industry the process of filmmaking technology has advanced too , from sound recording, to cameras, to editing.

  • Rapt Rhetorical Analysis

    1464 Words  | 6 Pages

    Anderson also interviews the author, Winifred Gallagher, the author of Rapt, a book about the power of attention, who wrote the book while fighting a severe form of breast cancer. She mentions that her diagnosis can be viewed as an internal struggle of focus, due to the gravity of her situation. Anderson mentions that she realized attention was ‘ “not just a latent ability, it was something you could marshal and use as a tool” ’ (3). Anderson consults Gallagher on distraction and suggests that attentional self-control, is the focal point of whether one will invest their time productively or become distracted.

Technology, mass exploitation and minority pressure carried the trick, thank God.”

  • The Imr Fetih Analysis

    1088 Words  | 5 Pages

    Nathan Jurgenson’s sarcastic and affiliated remarks in his essay “The IRL Fetish,” published in an online magazine, The New Inquiry, help bring about the point that people often look at the world in black and white, online and offline, instead of on a gray scale. He is a sociologist who openly makes fun of others who comment on how the world should unplug completely from online structures; he names them hypocrites. His coined remark of “digital dualism” summarizes what these critics mean, of how the offline and online cannot coexist, but he concurs that people can live in the middle of these realms, for the offline cannot exist without the latter. This is an agreeable assessment on the use of technology, seeing as how the term was coined by
