1. The New Media, I doubt, is still understood in Print terminology and with a Textist mind. The Analog and Linear Mind fails to recogonize the dynamics of digital ontology.
2. It is meanignless to impose a Print template over the interactive and de-territorial space of new media. 3. The first thing to understood that it is rather difficult to govern ths space unless applying some crude tactics which only enables further innovation. 4. I doubt many people come to e-forums with a print & lienar mind even as they pose to be extreme contemporaries. 5. The broadcast, digital media, is a memory-less medium not bcoz it has no storage capacity but it is ruled by the 'momentariness'. 6. The discussion takes place at so many spaces accessible globally and now even in the unglobal above-horizon spaces making new media generative through time and space. 7. The impulsvity is the propelling dynamics of new media. The print and boradcast, though momentary, allows time-lapses for the participant ( both producers as well as receivers) indulgences. But the spontaniety in conversation and dialoging makes the new medium exciting. But time lapses are also allowed. One can take time and think and access the same content to further generate discussion. 8. Transfomartivess and generativeness is the nature of new media discussion. With a kernel subject line you transform the semantics of discussion and genearte innumerable meanings. 9. e-discussion does not believe in any constructed hierarachy though the "hierarchized mind" demands that kind of respect and reverence similar to that of analog mind . 9. The new media discussion captures the fleeting moments and documents it for posterity as and when it occurs and making accessible the document to audiences elsewhere as it is enabled. 10. But the beautiful part ( dangerous as well) is that one is not only expsoing one self to one's own time but to the future as well. 75 years after ( or count less, 25 years) some one researching on some subject, say Subaltern upsurge and social change will find the documentation of the fleeting moments a great exposure to the times than any printed lenghty footnoted documents and account for who said... what?. Say for example, a strong of words like "the homogenous us and here" will be read as what... ? The star of a period will be the comical of those times. Print was/is cozy; New Media is too uncomfortable in this respect.* * ** 11. We should welcome any interferences/ indulgences/ interactions/ intiations from anyone or organization to make the Present enriching for the Future. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
