Individual, social and Cyber life.


We are the inventers and so these technologies are meant to be used by us; but the cyber culture and its Medias as a technology seems to be governing us making us gather information’s and attain entertainment individually hindering all those benefits from a collective social and community life. Even though our contacts are high and the new media pretends to be more social with most of us in communities joined together regardless of boundaries; it does bring about a situation of less communication within our social and community life where we will find shelter in the technological brilliance of the new media instead of the warmth, genuinity and versatality of infomations communicated through real life time relations. The other factor to remember is that the information’s, emotions and bonds based on a global as well as on a sectarian basis are equally important specific to circumstances. The global context seems to be far more benefitted because now it is technicity which defines our background rather than our ethnicity.

Is it a more efficient media?


Most of the technologies brought about in to our lives with which we got familiar in the subsequent days and which later has proved to be essential parts of our lives of course has posed some negatives too in their initial stage. Actually with time these technologies haven’t overcome those negatives, but we embraced them because these technologies started governing us instead of us making use of those technologies. This phenomenon of course needs to be referred in to the case of new media and its technologies related to the cyber world. Specifically because media is actually symbolising an environment which seems to posses information’s and entertainment controlling lion share of our emotions and knowledge; and it will be hard for us to trace out whether these environment has turned out to be harmful, just because most of us seems to live within it embracing its technological components with a complete acceptance . It is thus important to explore whether the new media designed and set in with the intension of fulfilling the purposes of old media in a more efficient manner is actually making us less communicative.

New Media and our real time life



The contemporary medias, let it be the print or visual medias are losing their significance day by day just because the new media mediated by the cyberworld is proving its ability to satisfy us by bringing all those media components under a single umbrella in an interactive manner. The new media thus do have the ability of providing surplus informations, entertainment; cheaply, globally and with an ultrasonic speed. Though the new media provides us the oppurtunity of selection of news and information according to preferences it do bring about a quagmire situation of surplus information were we won't be able to efficiently distinguish informations which are meant for us and not.
