As I give this title I wonder if i am just trivializing a major issue. But I know this one will grab attention so am using it though not to talk about a sitcom but a more grave and serious issue.
Welcome to the world of new media - Internet and podcasting.
Today people are creating their own media content. Media is a big industry and content is the key in there.Picture this - a 13 year old kid turned into an internet pornstar in his teens.It all happened within his home , through his PC and webcam. Beware, I say again its a mediated world and its turning grave and if we dont pay attention now , when will we ever? This was the story that shook me somewhere.This was the story of Justin Berry featured on the Oprah Show yesterday.
Media is just a tool and like every tool its usage determines its merit. But I guess the direction it is heading in is really not inspriring. Its becoming a source of terror , fraud , intrusion , sex and am sure there is a lot more trouble in store.
So what are we heading towards?
It is completely disorienting and i feel shame.
Shame on us and I wonder how we landed up here.
Do you think the same?
