Josh Spear at Zeitgeist Europe - Digital Youth and Media
With the proliferation of internet media these days, one does not need to go far to find seamless integration into our life’s. Everyday, youth are born as digital youth. Mobile phone media, blogging sites, virtual gifting, these are all things that create a new way of life for the youth. In ways, the digital youth is one that relies on these media factors to create personality and direction in the lifes of some of these unguided youth. Josh Spear (from the website JoshSpear.com) recently gave a presentation at Zeitgeist Europe about the effect of digital media and the way it shapes our world today. Although conventional forms of media are still a mainstay in society, it would be anything short of ignorant to not focus on digital media and its ability to reach out to the latest generation. Although we are not denying the power of digital media, underlying issues are to what extent this digital media is dictating our lifes. No doubt the role of media is to influence one’s taste, however are there lines to be drawn? Do we really need to reveal our location via a mobile phone tracking site at any given time? Regardless one thing to consider is that this are all things that we choose to do and nobody is forcing us to do anything. Definitely not a definitive statement on our part, but simply something to pique your interest and force some assessment of our behaviors. If you have a few minutes, catch up to speed on the future of media as we know it. Info: Fat Lace
