Question 4

Well, youtube isnt being much help, so i think i will just "speak my mind." For me, if there wasn't digital media i think i would feel unconnected, similar to the guy in the movie i posted earlier once his friends lose connection. I know when i am upset or not feeling good i can pick up my phone or go online and ppl will be there to talk to. OR on the flip side if something awesome happened i can let everyone know immediatly. So i think for me losing digital media would be a bad thing, although personally i like to get outside and do other things so maybe it would help me find more time for that. For the world and the US economy though i dont know if we would survive it, individually maybe but we rely so heavily on it for stock exchange, news, and i know the government uses it for security and other very important things. I think if the world lost digital media chaos would ensue, and i wonder if maybe that would be a HUGE wake up call, kind of like the Die Hard movie where because everything is linked digitally, everything can be hacked and taken over. Scary but true, and i hope somewhere people are taking precaution that thinks don't become all linked because movies i think put ideas in peoples head, especially bad ones. So though i think there may be a silver lining, for the most part i do not want to lose the media we have now... however do i want up to continue in the direction we are going.. robots and federal ID cards, not really, but that is a discussion for another day.
