What is new in New Media?
What is new in New Media?
We send an email instead of mail, Skype instead of talking on the phone; write a blog instead of a diary, read Tweets instead of reading news and Poke on Facebook instead of smiling and a winking on the street.
This course teaches the meanings of the allover depth of these changes: we learn to identify accurately the nature of the new challenges of new media and the ways in which "history repeats". We will do this by using test cases that reflect current rifts across the four major dilemmas Network Culture faces today.
