New Webcast Online from MIT: Summary Perspectives: Media in Transition Summary

New Webcast Online from MIT: Summary Perspectives: Media in Transition Summary
The program was recorded on April 29, 2007 and runs 84 minutes.

Moderator: Nick Montfort
Assistant Professor of Digital Media, MIT Program in Writing and Humanistic Studies

In the final session of the 2007 conference, panelists distill their experiences and impressions from the preceding days and offer suggestions for future events. More presentations from the conference.

+ Jose van Dijck: Professor of Media and Culture, University of Amsterdam

+ Fred Turner: Assistant Professor and Director of the Undergraduate Program, Department of Communication, Stanford University

+ Siva Vaidhyanathan: Associate Professor of Media Studies and Law, University of Virginia
Fellow, New York Institute for the Humanities and Institute for the Future of the Book

From the summary:

An encounter with a Cambridge cab driver holding down two jobs to pay for his son’s Xbox reminded Jose van Dijck that “people need a first life to afford a Second Life.” As much as conference attendees celebrate Generation C -- for its creativity, collectivity, collaboration and courage – van Dijck cautions “not to forget about the other C: consumption, commoditization and control.”
