article on culture and syncing...no more mass culture
-
I don't really know how to sticky note things because when I got the toolbar it went away. But I completely agree with Giridharadas's statement that our culture is synced to ourselves and not the people around us. Things sync according to our interests and out life settings. That's what the whole purpose of syncing is all about, making our lives easier to navigate around and technology catering to our interests. I do not have a calender that syncs itself but i do have an iPhone that syncs every time I plug it into my computer. And there's the new iCloud that doesn't even require you to plug it in before syncing. I wish there still was a way for there to be a mass culture, I just don't think it's going to happen through syncing. That would kind of reverse the purpose of syncing. -
Everyone who uses an apple product understands that we are synced to our interests and our schedules. I have an ipod and an iphone and I always sync them. This syncing allows us to access more information around us that we can use to better ourselves in some way. Syncing is a great concept that allows us to share and transfer information and without this ability, we would be faced with more tedious tasks than necessary.
