Facebook
-
The knowledge is all around people and a lot of advanced technology is so ubiquitous that it makes connection, organising, sharing and learning easier than ever before
-
new culture and environment

they mediate relationships. Media changes, relationships change and the culture changes.

media helped the people there in a big way

The other examples
-
Media is therefore not just tools and communication
-
how important media was
-
Think about how we watch TV. We watch TV for the content, but the content drives relationships. We watch TV while at dinner, we congregate in groups to watch sport. These are the conversations that create our culture
-
Now this kind of stuff should be showing it's effect on education, but it doesnt - 43% of students are bored, up from 20% in the 80s
-
a brief history of the phrase
-
Let's analyse it over time. In the pre-60s "Whatever" meant "That's what I meant". After the 60s it became synonymous with "I don't care" or a "Meh...".
-
Whatever
-
it's a way for people to raise their personality and not be indistinguishable. More people want to be important today - more people want to be the new American Ido
-
So why is American Idol popular
-
From the late 90s to now, people have adopted the "I'll do what I want" meaning for "Whatever". It's an empowered generation and free culture
-
It's a very broad cultural phenomenon which is driving a search for identity and recognition
-
We all need identity and recognition and the media keeps bombarding us with messages of the kind of people we should become. The search for the authentic self leads us towards self-centered modes of self-fulfillment and disagreement on several things - values, views, approaches. We're more disengaged and more fragmented. The new media revolution is creating the cultural background for this kind of a change.

media are understood as the socio-technical and cultural practices of distributing and storing information which are used to shape communication and interaction and so help determine collective perception and experience in the everyday world
-
New Media« are media based technically on digitalisation, miniaturisation, data compression, networking and convergence.

This threatens to erode a cultural technique which is the basis not only for reading books and newspapers but also for using the New Media.

In future we can in any case expect greater individualisation and differentiation in media use patterns, the »average user« will ultimately become a construct remote from reality.

This makes cross-border movements, interculturalism and hybridisation more important for cultural theory; media development, transnational cultural relationships, intercultural exchange and migration become even more important topics for research.

Cultural development, New Media and media culture
-
the media is mostly given outstanding and still growing cultural significance
-
recent debates
-
finally the increase in the importance for the understanding of culture of new (or what are perceived as new) cultural communities, groups and contexts.
-
communications technologies
-
the current status of the concept of culture in science and politics is not a fashionable phenomenon, but rather »evidence of a significant social development«, a »development from the domination of things to a domination of knowledge«
-
There is disagreement inter alia about whether cultural development is tending to blend with media development (or already has blended with it) and whether cultural theory should accordingly be primarily (or even exclusively) pursued in terms of media cultural theory

Media markets: an overview
-
Cultural globalisation and the New Media
-
In dealing with the interactions between the change in concepts of culture and recent media development, the mutually impacting trends of individualisation and cultural globalisation become issues leading to further depths. Both issues are extremely important for the current debate on media development.
-
individualisation« or »personalisation
-
media services with a customised nature
-
sociological theories of individualisation as such. Besides socio-structural individualisation promoted inter alia by decoupling class membership and consumption, processes like isolation/privatisation and autonomisation – in other words, competent coping with media-based growth in cultural options for choice and action – should be noted (A. Honneth)
-
economic globalisation
-
cultural globalisation
-
show on the one hand that the development of the New Media has aroused (often vague-seeming) fears and hopes, while euphoria over technology and pessimism over culture are relatively evenly divided between the political and social trends. Conversely, there is also the tendency in these debates to pursue older scientific arguments and view the development of the New Media in the context of specific media-historical, social-theoretical or philosophical considerations.
-
unanimous agreement that the New Media, and particularly the Internet, are of central importance
-
The current crisis in traditional concepts of culture is apparently closely connected with the recent development in the media, as the New Media change the cultural significance of physical proximity and separation
-
Connected individuals – according to a widespread view – grow through interactive and communicative actions beyond the limits of local communities and national societies, and are able to participate in transnational cultural exchanges and make themselves felt as an individual, a member of a group or of an international movement.
-
economic and cultural globalisation are highly controversial issues in political and scientific debate
