In addition to my last post about Michael Wesch video about how “The Machine is Us/ing Us” I want to recommend one of his newer videos. Dr. Wesch presented “An Anthropological Introduction to YouTube” at the Library of Congress on June 23, 2008. The video is about one hour long, and it goes deep into the mechanics of society and how the Internet is transforming it/us.
Michael Wesch is talking about “Digital Natives” (Wikipedia: “A digital native is a person who has grown up with digital technology such as computers, the Internet, mobile phones and MP3″). He points out the difference of how this generation is growing up with a computer humming by their bed stands, their new ways of perceiving and connecting due to the Internet and new media.
So without spoiling any more, watch the video if you liked the last one. You’re going to enjoy this one, I promise :)
