The Never Ending Maze of New Media

The Never Ending Maze of New Media

Unfinished Business


While reading Peter Lunenfeld’s essay, all I could do was force myself from saying yes or maybe well duh. We have entered an age of digital exploration and with that will come the unfinished space stories and time. We are like today’s version of Columbus, but instead of searching for new trade routes to India, we are exploring an uncharted virtual world. Maybe in that way we are more like Captain Kirk, boldly going where no may has gone before. With this exploration will come stories of exploration and the digital experiences these “sailors” have. Stories will become unending as you begin to have virtually endless ways to end them. However, I don’t think time is endless, I think its accelerating in the digital world allowing everything else to happen at an alarming rate. Time instead is like the Grim reaper it allows advances to happen but destroys everything that is obsolete in its path.
