Here I am again, giving a little piece of my mind! Unlike my first two blogs - its not a lovely Saturday afternoon it's a Monday morning, the hustle and bustle of tired eyed uni students pass me by! The lines to all the coffee shops are chockers as we all realise that we have another whole week ahead of us...
Here I go....The New Economy reading for DIGC202 got me thinking... It states; "This new economy has three distinguishing characteristics: It is global. It favors intangible things-ideas, information, relationships. And it is intensely interlinked." However I feel this in not such a NEW idea ... The internet as a whole has been doing this since it took over the world... OK maybe taking over the world is a little dramatic but it seems like it has... a day does not pass that I am not on the internet.. whether it is on Facebook or just using the connection to play games on my Iphone. I think this concept has been happening for a lot longer than we all realise its just no one has realised it. But now thanks to Kelly we know that we are going to be locked in rooms by ourselves without any physical contact with anyone everrrr again.. oh dear!
In the second reading for week three Barlow declares as human beings we are all susceptible to coercion. Coercion is a form of power. Power is the ultimate goal. Without physical bodies we are unable to be coerced. So with this in mind and Kellys new economy reading ... I can safely say that we honestly will end up in rooms by ourselves .. the inevitable ending to all physical communication is creeping up on us!
Over and out! Lyd
