    Study Notes

    Globalization and Media

    • Globalization and the transformation of media are interconnected.
    • Media is defined as a means of conveying something, such as a channel of communication.
    • Oral communication, the oldest form of media, began 200,000 years ago with the emergence of Homo sapiens.
    • Speech is a result of human rationality, a defining characteristic that distinguishes humans from animals.
    • Media facilitates cooperation by aiding in sharing knowledge.
    • Sharing information about land, water, climate, weather, tools, and weapons has enabled humans to travel, adapt to different environments, and develop technology.

    "The Medium is the Message"

    • Marshall McLuhan coined the phrase "the medium is the message," emphasizing the impact a medium itself has on human affairs.
    • The medium's influence arises from the change in scale, pace, or pattern it introduces into human affairs.
    • The railroad, while not introducing movement or transportation, accelerated and expanded existing human activities, leading to the creation of new cities, work patterns, and leisure activities.
    • The airplane, on the other hand, significantly accelerated transportation, ultimately leading to the dissolution of the city, political, and social structures associated with the railroad, independent of the airplane's specific uses.
    • McLuhan further illustrates his point using electric light— its impact on human society is independent of its specific application, be it for brain surgery or night baseball.
    • Content, the specific use of a medium, plays a secondary role in shaping human interaction compared to the medium itself.

    Media as Agents of Globalization

    • Media, independent of their content, plays a crucial role in global integration, economically, politically, and culturally.
    • Elizabeth Eisenstein identifies two key consequences of the printing press:
      • Print revolutionized the nature of knowledge by preserving it and standardizing it, unlike oral cultures.
      • The printing press, through its ability to circulate diverse viewpoints, challenged political and religious authority.

    Electronic Media and Globalization

    • Electronic media utilizes electromagnetic energy for content transmission and access.
    • Digital media encompasses mass media, search engines, and social media platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and Twitter.

    Digital Media and Economic Globalization

    • Computers have enabled instantaneous global financial transactions twenty-four hours a day.
    • Individuals now have access to economic information that was previously limited to a select few.
    • Computers have revolutionized various industries and trades.

    Digital Media and Political Globalization

    • Computers provide citizens with access to global information, including information suppressed by governments.
    • Platforms like blogs, social media, Twitter, and text messaging facilitate communication among citizens.

    Digital Media and Cultural Globalization

    • Computers have transformed cultural lives.
    • Access to global information enables individuals to adopt and adapt new practices in music, sports, education, religion, fashion, cuisine, arts, and other cultural spheres.
    • Communication platforms like Skype and Google Chat allow individuals from different parts of the world to stay connected.
    • Digital media has fundamentally transformed daily life.

    The Flattened World

    • Thomas Friedman, in "The World is Flat," asserts that the revolution in information and communication technology has "flattened the world."
    • The evolution of media has contributed to the flat world by breaking down geographical barriers and facilitating global communication.

    Conclusion

    • Globalization and media are inseparable, and media is the driving force behind the global village.
    • "The medium is the message" - each medium, through its unique properties, shapes human interactions and societies.
