Mediated: In Denial

“Some people refuse to accept the fact that reality is becoming indistinguishable from representation in a qualitatively new way. They find permanent refuge in the belief that nothing new is under the sun. They understand what they need to understand – De Zengotita. Mediated. p18

    Media has taken over our lives ages ago. We are now nearing the future we envisioned where almost everything will be flying, everything will involve robots, and everything will seem to be perfect. Somehow our imagination has brought us far—imaginations that are most of the time, impossible but the media made it possible. Today, most of our time are buried in the screen where we check the news, our friend’s Facebook updates and all the media you can think of. We are bombarded and somehow, as De Zengotita mentioned, we’re in denial.
