How does technology impact your life. I honestly can not remember the last day that I have not turn on the radio, TV or computer. I sit here listening to an online radio station and am wondering if it is the future of “radio” as we know it. What is the future of our media consumption? With so many options to get our entertainment from, how do companies successfully market their product? As consumers, how do we not become overwhelmed with the choices?
I am probably not alone in this, but I usually have to have something on, in my life. Whether it’s the TV, computer, radio, mp3 player or CDs. There is always something playing and creating some sort of noise. Is the noise always necessary? Definitely not. However, it is fulfilling a purpose, most of the time. It can be an energizer, a relaxer, a comforting presence during a difficult time or serve no purpose at all. Why must we always have something on? What is wrong with silence? What is it about silence that people don’t like?
The more I think about it…life is not always like a beautiful symphony, or at least not a well conducted one. Perhaps mine still needs some more fine tuning…
