Technology Changes Mentalities
February 4, 2018 | Leave a Comment
Technology changes mentalities. Some people don’t watch TV. In some instances, movies and television influences our look and what we consume. I believe we learn to think from movies and television. The goal of entertainment is how to make consumers enjoy the experience. TV is all aesthetics now. We subconsciously apply what we see from the movies and TV shows we like to others. We use the same lens from what we like on what we don’t like. When it doesn’t fit, we de don’t watch the show. We choose not to appreciate certain movies based on what we’ve seen before. This idea forces media people to create the same old stuff repeatedly because they realize it’s the one thing they can get us to respond to. Before technology, you could cultivate the inner self with books and reading. Self- reflection was common. Most of society consider their technological self as an extension of their own self. For example, some people believe that how they are through their Instagram and Facebook is really them, but that’s not really their true self. If you spend the time to cultivate a self that can be projected to be accepted by others in mass consumption, then you’re not really working to cultivate your inner self. You’re just working to maintain a self you created. It is not original and it’s not authentic. As a result, your inner-self erodes because you don’t really know who are or why you choose to do certain things. Your life is just run by the technology or the response around you.
