As an intenet pundit known to be on the cutting edge of the cutting edge(ouch, it hurts!), I suppose I can't completely ignore the phenomenon known as New Media.
Not that I object to technological inventions, I like that my words can be read by anyone, anywhere, day or night.
Yet I dread the day when printed word is regarded completely obsolete by interactive broadand digital communication. It's so much easier to throw a book at your sibling.
Will Meta become the giant breathtaking Uber edia, or just a shovelfull of crap?
And how will this affect developments in copyright law, privacy and lame homepages featuring way too many pictures of someone's cat?
Sure, the idea of new media is flashy and more lively than the stone tablet, but as long as Musk continues to fail, and countries still have civil wars like its 1984, nothing will change.
That's what's old about the new media.
