Media Theories Slideshow.

For revision a copy of a slide about Global Media:

"Irvine offers this example of how global digital media transforms the social world:

• ' At the extreme, modern media simply dissolves time, distance, place and local culture that once divided the globe. Perhaps the best examples are computer games and pop videos.  Routinely their content blurs boundaries of history and geography in a mix that denies the specificities of actual locations and particular chronological periods. In effect, we are putting all our cultural eggs in one basket.'
• Some see this as a negative thing, others see it as positive. it is now easier to disseminate cultural products around the world and to use technology to communicate with people across the world. Is this new 'global village' a good or bad thing?
