« Last post by kkshaha cnd on September 12, 2023, 06:45:36 am »Consequences To propose a conclusion, and to reject – or try not to make it a reality – the idea of a total and entirely digital reading, I want to highlight some possible consequences of this promised, desired or feared transformation. The first consequence would be economic. In an article that was published in April 2020 in La Vanguardia , Barcelona, Jorge Carrión highlighted the fact that the pandemic makes the powerful more powerful and the rich richer.
It was clearly a reference to Phone Number List enormous benefit that large companies such as Amazon, Facebook or Google are taking from the crisis. This results in the acceleration of a concentration process: Amazon, for example, is becoming the only supermarket in the world, a digital supermarket without competitors.
Another consequence that I find very relevant is cultural. Living in the digital world possibly means generalizing for reading, for all readings, whatever their object, the dominant practices in the digital world: those of social networks. The reading practice typical of social networks is an accelerated, hurried, impatient, fragmented (and fragmenting) reading, without the need to contrast the information and statements read. In this way, the question here is whether this type of reading, which was reflected in the use of digital networks, will become a model, a general pattern that will subject all other readings, of any order and nature. If this were the case, we would be facing immense risks.
