Internet
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"Toward the end of the 20th century, the advent of the World Wide Web marked the first era in which any individual could have a means of exposure on a scale comparable to that of mass media. For the first time, anyone with a web site can address a global audience. Although a vast amount of information, imagery, and commentary (i.e. "content") has been made available, it is often difficult to determine the authenticity and reliability of information. After 4 decades of television culture (which was an oral and visual culture), the rise of the internet marks a move to text culture (search, email)."--Sholem Stein, 2006 Think globally, act locally --René Dubos, 1972 |
