I\nthought Tony Guidone had a very interesting presentation. My favorite part was\nwhen he brought out the two newspaper articles and the coin to pass around the\nclass. It showed what is lost by using digital media. By that I mean the use of\npaper and currency is lost through the digital world. I feel as if the physical\nnews and use of currency has become irrelevant due to the fact that they have\nessentially become nonexistent. From personal experience, my parents no longer get\nthe newspaper due to the fact that the local news and advertisements are free online,\nand they use credit\/debit cards out of convenience. The evolution of digital\nmedia can, in my opinion, be seen to be influenced by pure convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drawing back towards what we have lost due to digital media, I believe the answer is quite clear. We have lost everything physical to the touch, which in a sense can be seen as we have lost touch with the reality of media. According to Bilal Kaiser, we have lost restaurant reviews in the newspaper, phone books, and libraries. However, when he writes this, he does not put it in a negative light, but more in a hopeful one for the future. He does this by saying, \u201c It goes without saying that as more technological advances come into the mainstream, we\u2019ll start to walk away from the old ways of doing things and step into a new frontier of the human experience. Which is quite exciting… And won\u2019t require you to rewind before returning\u201d (Kaiser 2011)[1]<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While\nwe have lost a physical connection to media, we have also gained something. I\nbelieve we have gained a sense of realization. In her blog, \u201cSimply As That\u201d,\nRebecca Cooper explains what she gained when she lost<\/em> her social media\naddiction. She claimed it was \u201cdisconnecting her from the most important things\nin life\u201d (Cooper 2018). With this sense of disconnection, her realization grew to\nbe that she needed a break and she states how she \u201cexperienced things more fully,\nwith all of her senses\u201d (Cooper 2018). She was brought back to the reality that\nwas lost to digitalization in media[2]<\/a>. I think that we can use\nRebecca\u2019s experience along with many others\u2019 regarding social media hiatuses to\nfurther our knowledge in the true impact of digital media.
