In today's world, we learn that technological advancement doesn't lead to a shorter life expectancy, if anything it leads to a higher life expectancy for the human race. Earlier this evening, I watched a movie called 'Exit Wounds' and it showed a group of people working with a hard-boiled cop to crack down on police corruption. Using today's technology like mini-cameras to gather incriminating evidence, the tech-team in the movie used the information they gathered to let the public know about the inner-workings of police corruption.
Through this first chapter, it has been established that the digital world is our connection to the media world and I believe that is true. Without the computerized digital advancement that mankind has developed, we wouldn't be able to function as the near-futuristic society that we are today. It should be noted that while it is good to rely on the internet, blackberry and other digital products for today's media, we cannot forget our roots from the first newspaper, to the first magazine, to the first radio station that informs society about what's happening in our new metropolis. It is through adaptation that mankind is able to continue its evolution into the information society and to create new tools for the current generation, as well as the new generation.
