How the brain evolves: the five ages of media

"The five ages

We have been through five main ages of media, each with its own unique characteristics. As we move from one age to another, the media environment alters, and the organism of our brain has to adapt to its new environment. It evolves. Not metaphorically – it actually changes. Our wiring is different in response to the different technological context we find ourselves in.

This isn’t complex, but it is important – in particular when it comes to everything I have to say about music and the internet… but also in general. It affects culture, society, law, politics, art, commerce and our own fragile psychologies.

I’ll take you through it."

Awesome.

in reference to:

"Internet radio, web newspapers and online television are similar misunderstandings and transitional phrases that reveal our ignorance."
