Mediareality

The role of Piracy in evolving new marketing?  Why is there any market in physical media?  Is this the death of the artifact?  The limited imagination of box shifting media executives confounded by invisible equivalents and millions of competitors will cause a flourish of inexpensive movies certainly, but the film industry will still exist but its golden age seems to continue.  There is no gateway that limits creative expression and soon media using the latest method of transporting and repainting bits enmassr will evolve again and again.

What is up their sleeves?

The Personalisation of search engines and the great Google and Facebook rights trampling exercises that seem imminent are an extraordinary experiment in social openness that establishes connections that were not intentional by both parties.  Those friend invites that never got accepted territory may have its reasons.  They are probably valid reasons to give your published without volition history of you on facebook.  Wow.  What a context of organised diaried window into your existence it is.  Serious posting bouts are laid bare for the world to see - yes this blogger is serious - he cross posts comments from six identifies is not what makes the internet work.   It is the ability to convey emotional affects like tears or laughter with surprise and sound - this is the missing experience of the medium.  And why?  We have the tools - but they either make movies or rock and roll or tv.  The blogger may be better not to stray too far into life broadcast unless he can sustain a standard of living due to investments which have a high enough rate of return that you feel it incumbent upon you to foolishly invest the rest where there are possible huge returns for the maximum risk the market can withstand.

In theory, Janet blogs she is going to have to get that new white dress and pretty soon it gets amoung her friends who blogs about it gets googled into fame and bingo Janet's business connects to a world it otherwise would not have.

By offering us what we have already asked a question about may or may not help the indecisive to become buyers but it raises other questions.  One of which is the beauty of randomness - rendering occasional unique combinations of individual, idea and opportunity at unelected moments.

Ultimately limiting our randomised viewing of advertising is focusing upon brand as opposed to providing the myth of choice/  In as much as that there is an effort to control the myth is the spending of millions anointing a successor to the soon to be a movie John McCain campaign or his fatal mistake in selecting a cynical mythical approach to the woman who would be vice-president.  Maybe it is simply more fashionable to try again when she is not having such a perfect life.  Why spoil indulgence for more political points when she is already a religion, an assured speaker to a set of beliefs that could suck the life from the economy,

It is not that America needs Obama, but the alternative is far far worse.  A return to the very rich controlling everything is regressive.  A society must evolve if it is to survive, that seems self evident.  What we do is dictated to be the possibilities installed into our thinking by the deluge of images we see/  But we find our way.  We kind of believe we know what to do, what is tasteful and correct and the other will appreciate our fine taste. It is an international indulgence, a form of everlasting media that lasts for a very long time, and people are prepared to pay for it.
