While this article covers a variety of different concepts, a statement near the beginning was really depressing to me. It said, "'digital culture' has been posited by postmodern theorists as exemplifying and underlining the post-modern notion of fragmented and decentered human selves." WOW. We are in the post-modernist stage right now and the notion is that we are fragmented and decentered? It really does make sense though. Our society, if choosing to, is living life through myspace, facebook, second life, iPods, laptops, movies, the news, and more. Information is so accessible now that it is impossible to have a one-track, clear idea of what is going on anywhere. The post-modern movement is really cool when it comes to literature and art, for example, but in terms of media and affecting the "real-world," the idea of being decentered is really depressing. I think of things like facebook in which we advertise ourselves and want people to know what our jobs are, what we were doing on friday night, what our favorite websites are. Then we post a picture and leave up many others for people to look at and its our way of being a member of a larger and expanding social network but we are completely decentered! We're not advertising ourselves in person or putting ourselves out in the world for real. "Digital Culture" has so much potential in how our connections with the rest of world can be enhanced but if we get too sucked in for the wrong reasons, it will change our society in a negative way (and already has to a large extent).
