We live in a media world simultaneously obsessed with technology and personality.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We have more media than ever and more technology in our lives. It's supposed to help us communicate, but it has the opposite effect of isolating us.
Media and technology are our greatest assets. And yet, they are our most undervalued and underused assets. Now when I say that, people look at me like I'm crazy because every young person we know in the world is never without media, ever.
I'm obsessed with media and the way audiences can become creative participants.
Technology is notorious for engrossing people so much that they don't always focus on balance and enjoy life at the same time.
Collectively, we are in thrall to media - because they deliver to us many of the psychic goods we crave, and we know no other way to live.
We're living in a high-tech world. So much of our stimulus and entertainment comes from things that are quite abstract and disembodied.
I think we live a culture that's obsessed with people, you know, 'Celebrities are just like us!' Everything I do except my job is critically analyzed online.
Although designers continue to dream of 'transparency' - technologies that just do their job without making their presence felt - both creators and audiences actually like technologies with 'personality.'
We live in a celebrity-obsessed society.
The world is beset by many problems, but in my opinion, this hijacking of our brain's reward centers by electronic media is potentially one of the most destructive.
