Reading assignment 2

This assignment deals with the wide view and future creation of social communication and interaction through technology and computers. Lev Manovich's new media concentration on user generated context leaves me to believe the way social communication and other sources of human relationships are changing and becoming very lazy. I mean lazy in the sense that we can communicate through video now on youtube and other technologies which allow use the convenance of never leaving our homes creating more future generations of hermits. I also sit and waste hours upon hours of my time towards the computer but I acknowledge the fact we're becoming ever so reliant on technology to create easy tasks for usual means of everyday life. The reading I didn't quite understand but explored the reinventing youtube article which takes the revolutionary means of finding media sources through out the world in video posts. This further evolves into user creation to make videos of any type of source material for the viewers entertainment, education, understanding, and amusement.
