  • This television essay is written by the American media theoretician Douglas Rushkoff. We are at the same time through modern media in several places, but where are we really? Is "here and now" what's on your screen or is it where you physically stand? It is time to return to the real NOW says Douglas Rushkoff.
    In his book Present Shock, When Everything Happens Now, Douglas Rushkoff argues that we have all suffered from five syndromes that belong to the always-on society. We must be permanently accessible but feel constantly alienated from the present and from each other. With different kinds of clocks as inspiration material, Guernica, Ritalin and a list of penetrating video fragments, Douglas Rushkoff teach us the tricks of the digital detox.
    We live in an 'always on' society and are alienated from the present moment and from each other.
    Do you also often feel that time is slipping through your fingers? That you are in different places at the same time, on the train between a and b, via your smartphone, in a text conversation with a friend, in an e-mail at work and in your mind on a tropical vacation? Are you missing the peace in your NOW?
    This VPRO Backlight is the second episode of Backlight's studio lab series.

    29:48 - 31:55 Very well put, this is clearly the biggest problem with big data, having people reinforcing their initial behavior so much they become jokes of themselves instead of exploring other paths... or even worse: becoming unable to imagine new paths on their own. Great interview!

    I love Rushkoff but this botox theory isn't his theory...

    • @vprodocumentary
      @vprodocumentary  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi April68
      Whose theory is it then?

    • @aprilized
      @aprilized 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'll have to look it up. I saw it in another documentary a number of years ago.
