  • I can hardly answer that question because I have unsubscribed from most of these media, precisely because of this background. However, it is remarkable how the Germans have arrived at reasonable conclusions in spite of the newspaper editorials, and how they have supported the position of the Government even against the press and media landscape.

    Ret skræmmende at en forsvarsminister så utvetydigt kan tale om efterretningstjenesters effektfulde spredning af disinformation i de store medier. Et faktum som søvngængere automatisk kalder konspiration.

    "The objective of World-Infostructure's knowledge base is to bring focus to the human dimension of information and communication technologies in a dynamic world of vested interests. It is designed to provide an overview of the status quo, the development and the history of the Infosphere as well as to enhance the visibility of issues of public interest that arise in connection with the emergence of digital media and computer networks.

Ecology of the Mind | Adbusters Culturejammer Headquarters - 0 views

  • Quiet feels foreign now, but quiet could be just what we need. Silence may be to a healthy mind what clean air and water are to a healthy body.
  • The commercial media are to the mental environment what factories are to the physical environment. A factory dumps pollution into the water or air because that’s the most efficient way to produce plastic or wood pulp or steel. A TV station or website pollutes the cultural environment because that’s the most efficient way to produce audiences. It pays to pollute. The psychic fallout is just the cost of putting on the show.
  • The information we consume is increasingly flat and homogenized. Designed to reach millions, it often lacks nuance, complexity and context. Reading the same factoids on Wikipedia and watching the same viral video on YouTube, we experience a flattening of culture. Cultural homogenization has graver consequences than the same hairstyles, catchphrases, action-hero antics and video clips propagated ad nauseam around the world. In all systems, homogenization is poison. Lack of diversity leads to inefficiency and failure. Infodiversity is as critical to our long-term survival as biodiversity. Both are bedrocks of human existence.

  • We may be suffering from the infodisease that Nicholas Carr first diagnosed in himself. “Over the past few years,” he writes, “I’ve had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory… what the Net seems to be doing is chipping away my capacity for concentration and contemplation. My mind now expects to take in information the way the Net distributes it: in a swiftly moving stream of particles. Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski.”
  • The result is a society that treats our cultural heritage as a resource for exploitation. Instead of producing new works of genuine art that replenish our mental environment, we celebrate the amateur whose mash-ups may be hilarious but contribute nothing of value to the cultural conversation. This situation becomes especially distressing when we consider that just as there is a finite amount of nutrients in our soil, there is a finite amount of creativity that the past can yield. Great art is rare, and only so many mash-ups can be released before the original power of a truly artistic creation is lost. And without the production of an authentic culture, our mental environment is in danger of becoming a clear-cut wasteland, overfarmed and depleted. In Lanier’s words, “we face a situation in which culture is effectively eating its own seed stock.”

    En temmelig pessimistisk og tankevækkende artikel om distraktion, informationssyge og kulturkannibalisme - om forureningen af sindet og tabet af viden og evnen til fordybelse.

    Jeg synes bestemt godt om nogen af citaterne måske især den om medierne som forurenende fabrikker. Dog synes jeg også, at den er meget negativ, og derfor lider af mangel på konstruktivitet. Det er meget nemt at være negativ, og man kommer også meget nemt til at overdrive. Igen er spørgsmål om en artikel som ovenstående kan hjælpe os med at handle positivt, eller om den bare får os til at hensynke i mere apati. Jeg synes, at den måske kan give en noget eftertænksomhed og få én til at stoppe op, men handlingsændrende er det nok ikke.

    Er ikke nået til det grundige endnu, kun en række kortere artikler, men det er også godt det samme. Læste den om Delicious og lod mig især ramme af følgende: "Two Internet entrepreneurs are hunting the Great White Whale of the web, the problem that results from following hundreds of people on Twitter, reading dozens of blogs, keeping 15 browser tabs open at a time and participating in social media from Facebook to Google+: There's just too much data coming in for the human mind to process." Og jeg er oven i købet hverken på Facebook eller Google+ ...
