According to Marshall McLuhan we create the media and then the media change us because they affect the way we see the world. We are still only beginning to understand the digital revolution. It is indeed a new world where we need to learn how we live.
- We are only one click away from updated and interesting content but at the same time, being so close to news, entertainment and games is a source of distraction and pushes audiences towards instant gratification.
- We can have a global audience, but we may also end up isolated from those closer to us.
- The speed of digital environments seems almost miraculous, but it may also be a source of error.
- Quantity of information does not always mean better service to the public, more wisdom or knowledge.
The Center for Internet Studies and Digital Life would like to search for answers to the questions raised by the Internet and mobile revolution. Our goal is to provide great food for thought about the new media landscape and foster the kind of public conversation that ennobles media content.
