I. READING COMPREHENSION
Directions: Read the following passage carefully!
Digital Connections
“Technology is connecting us in ways never seen before in human history. How will that
change our societies, our relationships, ourselves?”
That’s the question that interests Michael Wesch. The last time communications
technology had such a wide-ranging impact was 500 years ago with the invention of the
printing press. Being able to print texts instead of writing them by hand transformed the
world. It changed the way people could communicate with each other. Suddenly, multiple
copies of books could be made quickly and easily. As more books become available, so
ideas spread much more rapidly. But what will be the impact of digital technology, which is
the most powerful connecting tool we have seen?
Michael Wesch argues that communication is the fundamental to our relationships and so
it follows that a change in the way we communicate will change those relationships.
Wesch, a university professor, explores digital communication in his work. In particular,
Wesch and his students look at social networking and other interactive internet tools. A
well-known example of such application is YouTube. When people create and share
personal videos on YouTube, anyone anywhere can watch it. Wesch says that this leads to
some people feeling a sort of deep connection with the entire world. But it’s not a real
relationship – it’s without any real responsibility which you can turn off at any moment. So
does it make sense to talk about YouTube ‘community’?
Wesch himself experience the impact of digital media when he created and posted his own
short video on YouTube. It attracted immediate attention and has been viewed millions of
times. In his video he tells us that webpage get 100 billion hits a day and that a new blog is
started every half second. He asks us to think about the power of this technology and how
we use it. What could we do with it? What is its potential?
Wesch isn’t interested in what new media was originally designed for but in how it can be
used in other ways. For example, he describes how people organize social protests such
as gathering signatures for online petition via Facebook. He says that he tries to make
sure his students end up in control of the technology, not vice versa.
Outside the university, in the real world, Wesch believes it’s crucial for people to be able to
operate in the new environment of digital media and to use it for the greatest possible
impact. ‘It’s the tragedy of our times that we are now so connected we fail to see it. I want
to believe that technology can help us see relationships and global connections in the
positive new ways. It’s pretty amazing that I have this little box sitting on my desk through
which I can talk to any one of a billion people. And yet do any of us really use it for all the
potential that’s there?’
