This talks about how "technology disturbs the image, both private and corporate in any society, so much that fear and anxiety ensue and a new quest for identity has to begin". This helps me because I think it is a lot easier for someone to hide and protest behind a camera and act like they are tough and are going to do something big while yelling at a camera vs. going out and yelling a the government with few watching. So the images that we are seeing over here in America or anywhere else in the world could be full of people who are acting in a manner that they have never acted before. These pages are talking about how technology worked in other wars as well, so it gives me an idea of what it could be doing now (history repeats its self).

This article helped guide my ideas for my video about how widespread technology can go across the globe. It talks about critical ethnography of the cultural politics of globalization and a broader concept of a medium. I like that it emphasizes on how we are a "public culture". That term is something I want to use in my video because everything we do now is public and the majority of people are okay with that.

It talks about how English-language newspapers dominate South Africa's print media. This is very interesting to me because you would think that more people would want to read something in their native language, yet millions of Africans are preferring to read their newspaper in English. It also stated that "the English-language press is also read by the most important decision makers and policy advisers in the country on a regular basis and no doubt influences coverage in non-English newspapers as well as television and radio". What in the world is going on here? This is corrupting their culture!

I found this really interesting about Africa's media and publishing classified information.

Protestant missionaries came to Kenya and taught new converts how to read and write so that they could read the bible for themselves. After learning how to read and write, they took it further and published things for themselves such as newspapers and magazines. Even today the church is still involved in some magazine publishing in Kenya.

Let's change the world, one attitude at a time!
