Wk5 Reading (Mobile Media)
Rheingold, H. Ecologizing Mobile Media. Available online at: http://www.thefeaturearchives.com/101022.html
I greatly appreciate the attempt to create a list of factors by which to judge and discren the changes in mobile media. However, this list is all over the map. The points are not in a clear breakdown.
The emphasis on bias in interesting. Discussing each media in terms of it's bias to the reciever or sender, i.e. unspoken effects, is an interesting take. Again, we see shades of medium is the message thinking here.
My favorite point is this: "5. Technological change is not additive; it is ecological. A new technology does not merely add something; it changes everything." I misread it to say 'addictive.' Which I think works just as well. The effect of a new medium is not purely the 'network effects' that happen between users and technologies, but is a large social change which ties into other social factors in an ecological sense.
My favorite phrase is: "agoraphobic behavior patterns."
